https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691484 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691484#c0 Summary: Official Nvidia Binary Drivers Prevent KDE From Launching Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: malv_star@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 After installing the latest Nvidia binary drivers from the official repository (currently 270.41.06), openSuSE was no longer able to start KDE (but only after rebooting several times). The system reaches the login screen, and after logging in, attempts to start KDE. However, the loading progress bar pauses at about 75% of the way across and never completes. You can however, still load failsafe (console) sessions and even launch applications from there, but the actual desktop doesn't complete loading. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Nvidia drivers from the official repository 2. Reboot several times 3. Attempt to log in as normal Actual Results: The KDE loading bar pauses about 75% of the way across the screen. Expected Results: Loaded the desktop environment normally. Talking on #suse irc with user Jolo, yielded his .xsession-errors file. It can be viewed here: http://pastebin.com/nNFVsuQ0 The final few lines indicate that klauncher was unable to communicate with one of the slaves in the slavepool. -- 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.

Installed 11.4 from scratch, added my local update mirror and the nvidia repo, installed all updates, rebooted and the problem was there and didn't go away, no matter how many reboots or which KDE session I was choosing (tried KDE, KDE Plasma, KDE Plasma Failsafe). Will provide more logs once I can get a hold on the system again in a few days. -- 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.

On my AMD laptop with Nvdia Geforce G0 7800 the update caused the bug to appear. I tried the following things without results: * Using the kernel option "nomodeset" * Reinstalling, add driver using One-click install, update * Using a xorg.conf generated with nvidia-xconfig -- 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.

Then go to Systemsettings/Effects and tab advanced. Her you must disable direct rendering and set composite-type to OpenGl. Then klick button execute. Now you can enable the effects. This is done with manual install the new driver 275.09.07. Perhaps it does go with driver from repository. -- 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.

KDE ist blank/black. The first driver-version in opensuse 11.4 does work. I read about, that in gnome the driver should work. But I'm not shure. I have not tested. -- 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.

Firstly, you could inform the Nvidia driver people. Second, you could work with them. Given that both the ATI and Nvidia proprietary drivers could now be considered "critically unstable" and Suse is trying to build a stable open-source desktop, the least you could do is open a line of communication with the relevant people. So, who should I contact at Nvidia to sort out the issue? -- 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.

Use the G01 drivers instead of G02. The issues seems limited to 7000 series cards, and those cards are in fact supported by the 186 drivers in the G01 package. Even though this bug has been marked invalid, I thought others should know. -- 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.
