There were no Xfce updates in quite a while, please have a look at /var/log/zypp/history and check which packages you installed or updated before the last reboot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The updates on the 2nd had Nvidia but there was a reboot so I should have had the problem last week if this is caused by Nvidia. The problem did not start until this morning. Dave W -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sorry screens are :0.0 and :0.1 not :0.0 and :1.0.
OK, that's a big difference. Multi-screen is also a non-standard setup for multiple monitors so can you please explain the following in more detail: how is your X server is configured? Please attach your xorg.conf or any customizations in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ as well as /var/log/Xorg.*.log so we can look for X errors. how do you start applications usually? Do you have a Xfce panel on each screen? Do you use xfdesktop? Please also attach ~/.xsession-errors-:* so we can see any application error messages. (In reply to David Westfall from comment #0)
After a reboot this morning I am no longer able to use the right hand monitor on my system. My system is configured for multi monitor setup Left is :0.0 and right is :1.0. When I click on the right hand screen, left or right, both screens blink and nothing on the right opens up. Sometimes it
Does your left screen still work, i.e. display the desktop as normal? What should the right screen display and what does it actually display? What do you click and what menu do you expect to open up? What does "blinking" mean, is there a window popping up and immediately closing again, something else?
The updates on the 2nd had Nvidia but there was a reboot so I should have had the problem last week if this is caused by Nvidia. The problem did not start until this morning.
In order to exclude the nvidia driver update as the source of the problem you could try switching to the nouveau driver and see if the problem persists. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yesterday I removed and installed the Previous Nvidia driver. That did not fix the problem. Later I created a new blank home directory for my account and root. The problem went away. I will need to reinstall the latest Nvidia Driver and login and reboot a few time to see if it was really the cause of the problem. If it was just my account that had the problem I would have put it down as a corrupted config file. But root also had the problem.
The problem was only on the right screen.
When you right click on the right screen the background and task bar would disappear on both screens the come back. Some time the task bar would not come back.
OK, so I suppose you are running the default Xfce session? That means the background is drawn by xfdesktop and the "task bar" is the Xfce panel. They might be crashing and in that case xfce4-session will automatically respawn them (until you hit a limit). In order to investigate them I would need a full backtrace of xfce4-panel and xfdesktop when they've crashed with all debugging symbols installed. Instructions can be found at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_application_crashed#Using_GDB
I can not send the xsession error file it was delete when I cleared out my home director. I created an rsync copy of my home directory so I can compare if the problem comes back.
If you can reproduce the crashes again, having that might be useful as well.
I can not update back to the latest Nvidia driver. I am seeing problem when I synce my openSUSE repos. I keep a local copy because I have over 30 computers all trying to go through a firewall and proxy. The problem I am seeing with repo is the sha256 checksum for the *.gz in repodata in 13.1 Update do not match the file name but they do match what is in the meta4 files. Can someone do a aria2c of http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/13.1:/Update/standard/ repodata/e401c0934cecc5ad4a07bcce66c1a37c3922cdcdba7afe1ac25e2d9def7859e3- app-icons.tar.gz and see what sha256 check sum they get? I am getting 8c2dc6b86b9062a7411afaaf0a996fca529c6cfc535a853ea23fa6856c92dae2.
download.opensuse.org redirects you to local mirrors and one of them may be corrupt, a list of available mirrors is at http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ . In any case I get the same checksum. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I understand how the mirror brain system work. ari2c will use the meta4 file find close server but will branch out until it finds files that match check sums. Are you saying that the check sums you get from sha256 math the file names or are different but match what is in the meta4 file ,the the check sums match the file names.

By attaching to the process, see the above link the paragraph starting with "Alternately if the program runs at login, .." explains it. Please make sure you have the debug repos enabled and that you install all debuginfo packages that gdb tells you when first attaching to the process.

I just downloaded the url via curl not aria2c and checked the sha256sum of its content, but this is a different issue and more appropriate to investigate on the opensuse@opensuse.org mailing list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
