Hi

I have try to install the last Kubuntu linux distribution
on a PC (GeForce 2MX + 700 mo ram + DD 120 Go)

Kubuntu : Installation without problem
Bmax : Installation without problem

Bmax launch : without problem
Bmax compilation : Problem ...

Bmax say for each compilation

Alleluia !!!

I have find !

after typing in the console :

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
sudo nvidia-glx-config enable$ sudo apt-get install

You must type in the console :

nvidia-glx-config enable

I have tested 6 linux distrib :

Suse
Mandrake
Knoppix
Mandriva
Fedora
And finaly Kubuntu ...

It's a little bit hard to install bmax under linux :)
but Kubuntu is a really nice fast and clear...

Shush troll :P

SuSE 9.3, Fedora 4 and Kubuntu/Ubuntu 5.04 all worked fine for me. Packaging will help once it's ready.

Only problem with Ubuntu/Kubuntu is they make it easy to install nvidia-glx, but fail to mention you need to "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" for it to actually work.

Since you're using Kubuntu, check out this page: http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kf.html

Ubuntu users can look here: http://ubuntuguide.org/

Both contain information on how to add repositories and install some of the more useful applications that don't install as standard.
