*** Bug 772177 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** We can't support the problems related to the use of 3rd party software and drivers, like the nvidia binary driver. If you can reproduce this using nouveau (or any other driver shipped by fedora), or can provide any other evidence this is not a driver-related problem, please do re-open. There's not sufficient data to tell for sure, but I guess this is yet another duplicate of bug #751891. The problem is linked to nvidia. With nouveau, there is no problem. |
Created attachment 551118 [details] xorg.conf file used with nvidia driver. Description of problem: I installed the nvidia driver. Then I want to login using kde plasma workspace, but it gets stuck at step 2 of the splash screen (the setting tools) and i never get logged in. I have to ctrl-alt-backspace to come to the login screen. If I uninstall the nvidia driver, everything comes back to normal and i can use the kde desktop again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.7.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install the nvidia driver: kmod-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64 nvidia-xconfig-1.0-11.fc16.x86_64 nvidia-settings-1.0-13.fc16.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64 2.Run: dracut initramfs-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64.img 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 3.Use the xorg.conf attached here. 4.Reboot 5.Try to login using the kde plasma workspace Actual results: KDE starts but does not finish the login process. Is stuck at step 2 of the splash screen (the setting tools). I never get logged in. Expected results: I expect to login and start using kde. Additional info: If I uninstall the nvidia driver, everything comes back to normal and i can use the kde desktop again.
