http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1149716 Bug ID: 1149716 Summary: Nvidia driver freezes system randomly but often + icon positions lost Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver Assignee: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: linux@daniel-bauer.com QA Contact: sndirsch@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 817106 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=817106&action=edit sample of scrambled login screen (each time different...) The KDE login-screen shows scrambled, but the password can be entered and after hit enter the desktop appears (sometimes scrambled, too, sometimes fine). After a while it freezes. No keyboard available. The computer is still reachable via SSH from outside. The freezing occurs randomly. It once was ok for 7 days without reboot and then suddenly it froze. Sometimes it happened after 1 day, sometimes after an hour. In the last tries it froze between immediately and within two hours. The system is unusable now. While frozen the fans turn at top speed, it seems lot of CPU is used (can't see it, because GKrellm display is also frozen...) Often, before the complete freeze, it freezes for a short time (30 seconds?), then shows a message that the desktop effects have been restarted. After that the desktop effects are disabled, but the rest works - for a while until the complete freeze. While it works closed windows are still shown in the taskbar. But clicking at them has no effect. They just stay visible there and don't disappear until logout or reboot after complete freeze. Also icons that are placed in the two most right rows of the desktop are moved after logout/login or reboot. They are mixed with the other icons on the desktop and are distributed randomly. This does not happen, when there are no icons in the two most right rows. Then all icons stay where they were also after logout/in. This is Opensuse 15.1, KDE 5.12.8, Kernel 4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default, 64 bit Itel i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz, 24 GB memory Nvidia GF 107/GeForce GTX 460 driver: or from opensuse repo nvidia_computeG04 or with "the hard way" NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.129.run directly from Nvidia (both show the same errors) Screen size: 1920x1200px (Eizo) A hardware/cable/etc... defect can be excluded: everything works fine without the nvidia drivers using nouveau (but nouveau has other problems, so I'd prefer to be able to run the nvidia drivers) It is 100% reproducible on my system: run with nouveau: all fine install suse rpm: errors occur de-install rpms: all fine install nvidia*.run: errors occur I did the de/re-install several times, always with the same results. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
