Comment 1 Christian Müller 2013-12-22 14:33:17 CET

Comic plasmoid is broken (in fact it's broken since Mageia 3, but in Mageia 4b2 it' even more broken ;) )

Comics can be installed from list, but don't appear in the settings dialog. Looks like this one: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=117423

Even if you install a comic manually, like discribed in the thread, the comic window stays blank.

Comment 3 Florian Hubold 2013-12-23 19:16:05 CET

All the nvidia-related issues are probably caused by driver bugs in more recent drivers.

Related reports:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487558
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326480

The fix does already exist, but only in an unreleased nvidia driver version.

325.15 seems to be recommended working driver version in between.
If nvidia doesn't provide an update within the next 2 weeks, I'd propose to downgrade to 325.15

Comment 4 Florian Hubold 2014-02-03 12:52:15 CET

What do we do about this?
Some programs are still affected even with 325.15, and some which where reported affected are not anymore. Can this please be the top priority for QA team (after a few days of vacation :D ) as this is currently our most prominent and visible issue with Mageia 4?

I'll try to confirm all the linked bugs after searching all related ones.
