Hi all, I am in the process of updating my system (latest 14.x) to Salix 15 (64bit). I am concerned about the nvidia driver, the proprietary one I use and wonder how to prevent X not starting because of kernel issues etc. How can I restore the nouveau driver (or any other "plain VGA") befo...

Well,

it was not there but now is.
No clue why it was missing. I upgraded the system since...13.37 I think, instead of installing a new system.

I installed
package "spi" with gslapt and works!

Yep,


seems there was something not correct. I now switched to the ftp://ftp.nluug.nl... which responds faster.

"download.salixos.org" worked well!

Nope, 14.2, latest kernel. System was upgraded as instructed in the Wiki/FAQ since .... -Version- Kernel : Linux 4.4.276 (x86_64) Compiled : #1 SMP Tue Jul 20 23:23:58 CDT 2021 C Library : Unknown Default C Compiler : Unknown Distribution : Slackware 14.2 -Current Session- Computer Name : jpg153sali...

Strange,

"spi" is not known...

Hi Gapan,

same as for Salix in general, so specifically:

http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/salix/slkbuild/14.2/
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/salix/sbo/14.2/

All is fast but not the "more information" option. It takes ages...

Thanks

Sorry,

I installed GraphicsMagic and a packages that comes with it, but still:
