Any thought on how to make it go away?

Also, any thought on why with the nividia drivers installed vs nouveau, no desktop will start except failsafe?

You can run Yast and go to Software/software management, search for "calibre" and then set it to Taboo

zypper al calibr*

which with fewer keystrokes will keep the lock effective when the package name changes to include (an) integer(s) and/or underscore(s), or it splits into multiple packages with same basename, at some future major version update.

I did the yast thing previously.  let's see if zypper al works -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Did that too

You can somewhat curb package management's desire to bloat your system with things you have no desire for using one or both of the following: In /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, set: solver.onlyRequires = true In /etc/zypp/zypper.conf, set: installRecommends = no -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Every time I install a new package from yast or zypper it jumps back in AND then on the next install run tells me there unmeetable dependencies. There is probably a package that has calibre as a depenency. You can check if you need that package (maybe it is an additional package for calibre). In case not, you can take it off and the dependency will stop to nag. If not you can as others said, taboo it in yast. Works quite well.

Years ago YaST had a feature that would remember when a package was manually removed, and not try to install it again. But the feature had some problem and and was removed. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Also, any thought on why with the nividia drivers installed vs nouveau, no desktop will start except failsafe? when you install nvidia from the community repos make sure that the right driver is selected. Double check that your chipset fits the driver. When you install your driver from nvidia directly, bear in mind that every kernel update requires a re-installation of the proprietary driver.

It's a GeForce GTX 765M.

I think that's the G03 driver.

I used to deal with this as a manual install from a tarball  with DKMS, but I just don't have the time to fool with it anymore.

note that the prop nvidia driver will not be installed unless *you* or something you are installing calls for it and I cannot think of an app that would pull in the nvidia prop driver. somehow *you* are asking for it to be installed. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net 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
