This whole thing was rather odd. The KDE4.13 update didn't include a new kernel (I check the update before I apply). It was only a KDE4 update I triggered... but somehow something tweaked the NVidia driver in such a way that only Chrome and Chromium would trigger an X crash. In the time when KDE 4.13 showed up in KDE:Current, there was also Xserver update (xorg-x11-server package) in Update repository. And this could cause issue with NVidia blob driver. Not the KDE update itself. I just spotted that here... about 1 minute after you sent your email :-) Yes, the xorg package was the culprit that caused my odd problems with Chromium. C.

My wife loves to play backgammon (gnubg) but it stopped 'working' when she tried to play it this morning. I remembered what you said re recompiling the nVidia driver and after I did this gnubg was back in business. She is again a happy little vegemite :-) .

Read what you quoted.
It's not a result of The KDE upgrade. It would have bitten you even without updating KDE, because there was a xorg update in another repository.
Well, I think it is only natural to assume that when this problem arose when KDE was upgraded that it was the KDE upgrade which caused the problem. In fact, I just added in YaST the Xorg repository you mentioned in one of your previous posts here and when I went to update the files I got the same dependency errors (that KDE 4.13 had dependency problems with openSUSE branding) when I upgraded to KDE 4.13. Now, why should upgrading Xorg* files have anything to do with KDE 4. 13 and its need for have openSUSE branding files of the correct flavour? :-) BC -- Using openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.13.0 & kernel 3.14.1-1 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
