Description Florian Bauer 2012-04-13 17:39:18 CEST

Mageia 2 (Cauldron) 64bit
Program "nvclock" doesn't work anymore since 12.04.2012 (latest updates cauldron). If I want to run the program in terminal I get just a "Speicherzugriffsfehler" (I think the English translation is "segmentation fault").
It worked well with Mageia 1 and Mageia 2 (Cauldron) until yesterday. No changes in hardware or any configs since then.

Removing and re-install of nvclock nor a reboot solved this issue.

Hardware:
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
NVIDIA Driver: 295.40

Source RPM: (none) => nvclock

nvclock -i
Error: No nvidia cards found in your system!

As I don't have some nvidia hardware for now, can you please provide the result of :

 LC_ALL=C nvclock -i

Find below result of the comand "LC_ALL=C nvclock -i"

[florian@laptop ~]$ LC_ALL=C nvclock -i
Speicherzugriffsfehler
[florian@laptop ~]$ 


either "nvclock --help" results in "Speicherzugriffsfehler"

I think you may have a configuration problem : the message should at least be in english.

Can you please try nvclock in the new shiny LiveCD, without even installing them?

Comment 4 Florian Bauer 2012-04-26 22:44:41 CEST

I'll do that this weekend.

Kind regards!

Hallo

It seems you're right. Booting the LiveCD allowed using of nvclock again.
Sorry for false-positive.

Kind regards
Florian
