Re: [Linux Mint] Unable to add GPU slot

What do you mean with -1 (for GPU)? OpenCL index ? You might could try to fresh install FAH and let the installer figure out the right config. Is the nV the only GPU or is there also an iGPU involved (via CPU)? look here if any differences to the way you installed viewtopic.php?f=80&t=27040 Mak...

Re: linux and PPC based machines

its not that specific machine i tried with a macbook and it too is refusing to touch the proxy... it can ping ok, curl is ok but fah refuses to talk to the internet.

as i suggested before, can i not bridge the internet from my machine in such a way that the mac can use it as a proxy unquestioned?

Re: linux and PPC based machines

well the mac in question (dual core ppc) has both IE and safari on, both ask me (every single time) what are the login details even though i tell it to remember them, maybe this is the case, I remember having to set http_proxy on linux so i can use things through the command line to get access to th...

Re: linux and PPC based machines

not entirely sure what the problem is as i cant seem to find any entry in the proxy logs (not that theres much in the way of logging anyway) and the fah log isnt very helpful either... it just says unable to get ID... so im guessing it just wont connect full stop... didnt have any mre luck using the...
