i cant run it..

in precise and slacko the same error:

Playonlinux unable to find 32bit OpenGL libraries. You might encounter problem with your games.


and the programa never start....

But in live- cd mode I had not any errors (precise) , and application start normally one time (i always do the all you say)... i did't run any game yet..... After installing as " Frugal " on my hardisk (i want to use installed, not in live-cd) , again following the previous tutorial, when I start PlayOnLinux get the the error...

Looking on google I found a solution ( for Ubuntu) could be set this :

sudo apt- get install ia32 -libs

But how to do it in Puppy.

Additionally , I have a Nvidia FX 5200 Geoforce ... using all types of video in Xorg Wizard ( VESA, Novadu , nva , and installing the official nvidia driver using Quickpet ) I get the same error ! ...

i try removing the video cad... using the onboard card... and the same error....

Any tips ? Thanks for reading all

hello Luis.

maybe your problem it is wrong route for "home"

an example.
you run puppy from a live cd, To declare your "home" you should put this command in terminal

Code: Select all

adduser -h /root/username -s /bin/bash username 

in this case you ram it is home, if you want the home, on a hard disk
you must give the correct path.
This command is will see information on the use of disc space.
in terminal

Code: Select all

df -Th

example

#df -Th
/dev/sda2 ext4 15G 5.1G 8.7G 37% /mnt/sda2

so i have to give

Code: Select all

adduser -h /mnt/sda2/kostas -s /bin/bash kostas

this should do for your system.

if you wand delete your username open the terminal

Code: Select all

geany /etc/passwd

i hope to help you

Okay, I did most simple! PlayOnLinux as Root!

kost@s ,

Thanks for your work on Playon.

I was wondering if you or anyone else has tried getting PlayLater to work using wine.

Cheers,
s
(I suppose a VM of windows would work, but I'm curious about wine...)

I don't know., you might have installed two packages (playonlinux.deb playonlinux.pet)
please uninstall the playonlinux on puppy package manager.



upgrade playonlinux-4.2.5.pet

Hi Kost@s & All,

I discussed the successful installation of your PlayOnLinux pet into Carolina-Vanguard here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 204#823204

Basically, it required following the instructions you gave, except your first that the python-2.6.4+wx.pet be installed. Rather, under Carolina/Vanguard, the python pets, including the wxPython-2.8.12.1.pet, all available from Carolina-Vanguard's Puppy Package Manager, are used.

Nice job by the way. Thanks for creating it. In many instances PlayOnLinux is of great value for those seeking an easy way to install XP programs.

[kost@s]

thanks mikeslr
yes the playolinux, find for any python if you have.
i will try at the first opportunity from carolina!
