Hello. On my old computer I have a 32bit Fedora 22, Ati drive card and no problem with 3d acceleration or running games on it. Right now I bought a new computer with 64bit Fedora 23 on it, Nvidia drivers and no idea why I can't run any game?!
I installed nvidia drivers from invidia official site, my 3d acceleration is working but I still cant run playonlinux, steam or even simplest Linux game Does anyone know how to fit it?
Hope this will help to find an issue:
When I try to run playonlinux I get a warrning that I dont have 32bit libs
Code:
[Zagiewa@localhost ~]$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose playonlinux

I read some about 32bit libs that I need but I think I have all of it
What I did wrong? Please help
Sounds like you are missing some 32-bit libs still. Doesn't fedora resolve dependencies with packages? I thought it would install all required packages.
It's my first 64bit fedora so I dont have a clue what might missing. With 32bit I didn't have that issue. Somehow I run openarena and urban terror game but I still cant run playonlinux or steam. What should I check, install or perhaps change directory? I found something else... When I go to /usr I have /lib /lib64 but I dont have a /lib32 is it wrong?
All of them did not work but I figured it out. I installed closed nvidia drivers and now everything is working fine!
I dont know why with kmod open drivers did not work but if someone will have the same issue try closed drivers
Right now I bought a new computer with 64bit Fedora 23 on it, Nvidia drivers and no idea why I can't run any game?!
fedora defaults to using the open " Nouveau" driver
so how did you install the Nvidia driver? ( and replace the nouveau driver)
the kmod-nvidia.rpm ? ( using dnf )
or
use the NVIDIA.run
and did you fallow the instructions 100% !!! and do EVERY COMMAND and rebuild the boot image
can you please provide some info
1) the above questions
2) the output of this
Code:
su -
lspci | grep VGA
3)
WHAT are the games???
names and a link to them please
I dont remember if I had a 3d acceleration after I install Fedora 23 because I immediately installed kmod drivers from rpmfusion repository. After that I had 3d acceleration but as I wrote i had problems with run any games via playonlinux, wine, steam etc.
I know that Fedora use novaeu drivers but after you install kmod or nvidia drivers you have to add novaeu to a blacklist on bootlist.
When I installed nvidia drivers from nvidia site I also add novaeu drivers to a blacklist and it work fine with all games.
I didnt bought anything on steam or playonlinux. As you know or not. On steam you can play on a free games.
There is still confusion as to whether or not you are using the Linux Steam or the Windows Steam client. PlayOnLinux would be the Windows client which uses Wine.
I would suggest installing the Linux Steam client and trying a game from their firstly. This will help you understand if your 3D drivers are working correctly. Until you can confirm that native Linux games are working, there is not much point in looking at PlayOnLinux.
Of course I use Linux steam I thought it's obvious. But first when I saw that it's not working I tried playonlinux and other options that could help
It is far from obvious because PlayOnLinux is for playing Windows games on Linux, so mentioning that means you are trying to run Windows games, or if you are not trying to then that is your first mistake!
You also said that everything is working fine a few posts back, so is there still a problem?

You need to be more diligent about google-searching your facts, John VV. PlayOnLinux is a well-established, widely used and by all accounts, high quality open source project.
