Hello,
My OS 15.1 desktop computer with nvidia goes crazy since yesterday. After two or three days without reboot the KDE desktop suddenly freezed. I had to reset per hardware button.
After reboot I used zypper up to bring the system to the latest updates. Now it freezes from time to time:
after some minutes of working (browsers, or email, or digikam) it gets unresponsive. First the mouse cursor doesn't move. After a minute or two the cursor moves a bit, but immediately freezes again. After a while the cursor disappears. The keyboard doesn't respond to anything.
After a reboot (or if I log out and in again) the "greeting page" (the kde login page) showns scrambled: only a part, or artifacts, or a white screen with a black border - creatively changing each time. I can enter the password and hit enter and get the desktop. After a short while it freezes for a second and shows a message like "kde display restarted" (could not read it really, was shown too short).
When clicking in the menu "log out" the question "log in out in 30 seconds" is shown but the two buttons below are not visible or scrambled. I can hit enter though.
At the moment the system is in an unusable state.
Where can I look for what happened? What to search for? What data can I provide here so that somebody can help me? Where/how do I find this data?
just guessing but sounds like you have a video problem. you might reinstall your nvidia driver or check that the present nvidia driver supports your video card. personally, I use the NVIDIA....run install method and have no experience with the rpm which was not available when I started using SuSE. I doubt the current rpm supports my NVIDIA GF106 GeForce GTS 450. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
