HI

Is anyone else getting random screen data briefly splashed on the screen between the login dialogue box closing and the startup splash being shown? This also happens quite a lot between logout pressed and redisplay of login dialogue box. It looks like a bit of old screen memory being displayed.

It was mentioned in a forum thread recently.

I see this too while using a Nvidia dual head G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1) with the nouveau driver. I've got an old nvidia GT218 and using nouveau as well

If this can be eradicated, it would make opensuse a lot more professional in its presentation to the user.

Maybe even worse and the display shows some data while login if there was another user active before? yes, it does show data of an old active desktop with some apps like kmail open but it is random and too fast to read

...

I would report it as a bug but not sure where to assign it.

osc maintainer -e xorg-x11-server -> leads you to Stefan. Hopefully this is the correct list. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=935447

Please report the bug ID back - best as clickable URL - to this thread.

Maybe those having an eye on the web based forum can add references of the forum thread to bugzilla and vice versa.

Cheers,

Lars

It took me a while to locate it. Here it is:

http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=507904 Thanks.. That seems a little more complicated that my issue and its about lightdm, i'm using kdm. Mine is only a flash of data that is displayed between 2 events. I did log a bug (935447) and its been confirmed.

I have the feeling that it is the same issue. I think the images are stored in the video card memory, and somehow they are not erased. I have the vague recollection that this ram can survive a reboot, maybe even a power off.

Yes, I know.

You should add links there to both this thread and the forum thread. i've now done it in the forum thread -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Something like comment #2 I had in mind with my reply.

If such references are present in the bug report it might ease the work a bit while investigsting it.

Cheers,

Lars Ok, thanks. i'll remember that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I suppose Carlos used the Bugzilla search. If so, I'm not surprised he didn't find your bug report. That search system usually throws up mostly irrelevant reports and misses the relevant ones.

No, I had the bugzilla number, it was posted here. What I meant was what Lars did on #2. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Does this occur with a single or multi-head system? I've only got one monitor. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
