Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: waveclaw@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=465737) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=465737) dmesg, error logs, configuration data, .xsession-errors, Xorg.0.log and various xorg.confs User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/15.0.874.121 Safari/535.2 While KDE and LXDE desktops are able to start, GNOME 3 desktop fails to load or enter failback mode after a binary driver was installed then removed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Installed a working GNOME 3 desktop with nouveau driver (only working on 1 HDMI monitor or the other.) 2. Installed nVidia driver from dowloads.nvidia.com 3. Configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf to enable wine to run and use multiple monitors to be used. 4. Reboot to new driver. 5. KDE loads and can use OpenGL or Xrender backend for kwin. LXDE loads. 6. GNOME 3 fails to start or enter failback mode. Bails to back to kdm login. 7. Removed nVidia driver and all packages 8. Removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf 9. Reboot 10. Attempt to login with various desktops, observe result. Actual Results: GNOME 3 only loads background, never displays panel or starts startup applications. KDE able to load, LXDE able to load. kdm working as before. Can only use 1 or other monitor as with clean installation. Expected Results: GNOME 3 load normally as before the installation and removal of binary driver or GNOME 3 to enter failback mode as during binary driver installation. Other desktops continue to work fine. KDE works with OpenGL or Xrender backend for kwin. Desktop Effects to not work and multiple monitors badly supported (see bug 679268.) Also, I have re-installed the proprietary driver. Using a fresh user with no prior desktop login on the system also replicates the error. -- 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.
