Seems like I've got a repeatable problem after updating to KDE4.13 (update from KDE 4.12 to 4.13 with a downgrade on the branding).

I can trigger the crash by launching Chromium (any version from 31 through 33 - I tried 31, 32 and 33, wiping ~/.config/chromium each time to force a clean start). As soon as I launch Chromium, the X server dies and leaves this line in /var/log/messages:

2014-04-25T19:10:33.176822+02:00 linux-w1b9 kdm[600]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly

No other error is showing up in messages, Xorg.0.log and so on (at least not that I can see).

Firefox 29.0 works fine.. Chromium is the only app so far that I've found to trigger the X Server crash after upgrading.

Any tips on finding a way to nail this one down?

Just for "fun" I installed Chrome (next to Chromium) and tried running... instantly on launch of Chrome (exactly the same as Chromium), X crashes with a "terminated unexpectedly" in the messages log.

Still no clue what's triggering this.....

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.

You need to learn to read those dependency error messages. It will tell you exactly which modules depend on what other modules.

I don't believe there is any branding dependencies in Xorg.

Well, I am not in a position to argue about this as my knowledge is limited on the subject. However, I can say this: I accepted your comment that the files for Xorg in the repository- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_1?.?/ was kosher and upgraded the files to the ones in this repo.

For some values of 'right', yes. The method I used was to run 'zypper up'. Well to be quite honest that I did was start zypper up, default yes and then go away and have a coffee and read the news on my phone. (I don't do paper newspapers any more.)

AFAIK it's not the upgrade to KDE 4.13 that's the "problem", but the contemporary (though otherwise unconnected) update to the xorg server.

See my response to John.

For a very long time I've used the nVidia proprietary drivers, invariably installed the (so-called) "hard way". I've never had any serious or lasting trouble with this, other than self-inflicted. Having to re-install after a kernel update is a given, of course. But so it is also for xorg updates where the video drives might appear still to be working, though with much reduced functionality. Re-installing nVidia restores all that.

But even those updates in the update repository are significantly behind the updates you will find here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_1?.?/ (insert version)

There are many issues that have been resolved, (perhaps not for Nvidia) in the latest version of X related packages in the above that are still broken in the update repository.

I've had image/video tearing, horrible performance using any effects, using the packages in the updates repository, but probably the best performance my machine has ever delivered using the one above.
