Years ago at work, I was using several Centos systems with varying hardware, including different models of display card, but all display cards that used the older (now 340) driver from Nvidia. The nouveau driver crashed a lot on any of those systems. The Nvidia driver was rock solid. Later using Centos at home with similar hardware, nouveau crashed a lot. Nvidia 340 failed 100% on restore from sleep but otherwise was rock solid. When I installed hugin, other packages upgraded, breaking firefox. I couldn't back out changes nor could I get an updated firefox to work. Eventually I trashed the whole install trying. Starting over with Ubuntu, I thought Ubuntu had installed the 340 driver (I should have checked rather than trusting) so I thought I had bad ram. I replaced everything but the graphics card and displays (graphics cards are absurdly expensive right now). Only after Ubuntu continued to crash and then Fedora similarly crash, I finally realized all those crashes are the nouveau driver. A Fedora forum post told me how to get past the problem in newer linux kernels of installing the ancient 340 driver. So I switched back to that (same driver I used for years in Centos). It sometimes recovers from sleep (never did in Centos, so in ordinary use I never enable sleep) and until this hugin activity was solid for ordinary use. It is never easy to rule out other hardware or install issues. But I'm pretty sure the nouveau driver never had stable support for these older architecture Nvidia cards and the Nvidia 340 driver is much better but not perfect. Sorry I confused my video driver issues with hugin build issues. I'd like to solve my mingw64 Windows hugin build issues and/or find out how to cross compile on Linuix for Windows. For the moment, I don't think I have any build problems in Fedora for hugin (thanks apparently to the better dependency list you gave me). -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
