I am using KDE 4.6 on an openSUSE 11.2 system. I did an update today and things no longer work. More specifically I cannot log in. I think I know what is wrong, but not why: kdebase4-workspace-4.6.2-4.1.i586 contains a library called /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so. Mysteriously, this library is linked with these two files (as revealed with 'ldd /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so'): libnvidia-tls.so.260.19.44 => not found libnvidia-glcore.so.260.19.44 => not found I saw as a complaint at the end of my .xsession-errors file a reference to this library, which is why I looked here. Why a KDE library is linking (directly or indirectly via another library) with a hard-wired version release of the proprietary nvidia drivers is a mystery. The other mystery is what use nvidia libraries will be on my ATI graphics system. Perhaps they are for something rather generic? The closest I come to libnvidia-tls.so.xxxxx is from x11-video- nvidiaG02-270.41.06-5.1.i586, but that is /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.270.41.06. This was updated today and is the direct cause of the problem. Perhaps it is because I have the nvidia repo (ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.2/) as well as the kde4.6 (KDE:/Release:/46) repo enabled. And the kde4.6 repo does not use the latest nvidia repo. Begging the question of why it i used at all. All that aside, why is kde even using an nvidia library? Or, if kde is not, who that /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so links with does use the library? This seems to be a very fragile thing as people are often want to try newer versions of nvidia drivers. In this case, I am still using one from OBS. To fix this I guess I will have to find the 260.19.44 version of the nvidia drivers. Which do not show up in Yast. So the hunt is on. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
