[Bug 853078] New: KDE desktop missing tray icons, scrambled fonts
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853078 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853078#c0 Summary: KDE desktop missing tray icons, scrambled fonts Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: mario_bz@mgtech.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 After an unsuccessful install of 13.1 64 bit on an iMac (see bug 835975) I tried on a PC with bad results. The KDE desktop launched with no icons on the bottom, and a right click showed small squares with scrambled unreadable fonts. Searching the web it seems others had this issue. I installed with GNOME and it worked so it was only KDE, I tried 2 installs, with and without online update and both were bad. So the 13.1 64 GA DVD is bad on 2 completely different machines, 12.3 64 installs fine on the PC (but not the iMac bug 835975) and other distros install fine as well, if that helps. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 13.1DVD 64 bit 2. 3. Actual Results: Scrambled KDE desktop. Expected Results: working desktop PC is a custom build Core 2 Duo, and video card is Nvidia. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I forgot to mention there is nothing that I can do except to press the reset button, I cannot get a response at all no matter what I try. Since there has been no activity on this I am worried it will fall into limbo like bug 835975. Well, IMHO your problem is caused by the nouveau driver.
Could you try to install the proprietary nvidia driver? Since today the official repo is finally available for 13.1 as well: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers If your desktop is unusable, try to boot to "recovery mode", you can select that under "Advanced Options" in the boot menu. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You must first get a broken KDE and "mouse around" for many days to get lucky enough to hit the right buttons on the scrambled screen.
And why didn't you use "recovery mode" as I suggested? Or did this not work either? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
