Open a user terminal, type kwrite, and it launches just fine. I'm pretty sure it worked with the nouveau driver before I updated the install to the Nvidia driver. All the other applications launch just fine from their KDE desktop icons. More (re)testing on my part. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Summary: Kwrite won't launch in M4B2 from Nvidia KDE desktop => Kwrite won't launch in M4B2 from a Nvidia KDE desktop
I have very carefully retraced the above testing using the latest M4B2 - Classic Installer, 64-bit, KDE md5sum: a8a021d79fac60a2416ed9fe162315a5 Dated 10 Dec 2013 The initial install was to not allow the Nvidia driver to be installed, nouveau driver. Once you get to the desktop Kwrite launches from the desktop icon no problem. I then installed the Nvidia driver. MCC - > Hardware -> Set up graphical server rebooted the system as instructed and the same condition exists. The Kwrite icon on the KDE desktop no longer works but Kwrite does in fact launch normally from a terminal: [user@sherman ~]$ kwrite For me this would be a "major" Severity and I have so set this bug to be that. All the other icons seem to work just fine.
Severity: normal => major
Confirmed on a Fujitsu PC 32-bit with Nvidia. Opens fine from Konsole but not from menu. Carolyn

(In reply to Carolyn Rowse from comment #2) > Confirmed on a Fujitsu PC 32-bit with Nvidia. Opens fine from Konsole but > not from menu. Many thanks Carolyn. It seems to be the only M4B2 KDE app that won't launch from it's desktop icon with Nvidia.
confirmed for kwrite and kate on my system (Mageia Beta 2 64bit with Nvidia)
CC: (none) => alfaflo
additional information: kwrite and kate start fine via terminal but if I want to start them from kmenue or krunner I only get high cpu load and program window don't appear. very annoying...
This affects me also. I installed Mageia 4 Beta 2 on a 64 bit system with Nvidia graphics using the KDE live DVD. I am unable to launch kwrite with the icon. There is a kwrite bouncing icon next to the mouse pointer that goes away after about 15 seconds. I can launch kwrite on the command line. My graphics driver is set to "Nvidia GeForce 8100 to GeForce 360". If I set it to nouveau I can then use the icon to launch kwrite. If I set it back to the Nvidia driver I can no longer launch kwrite with the icon.

Confirmed here, also with nvidia and proprietary driver and all updates applied. One workaround could be also to run via Alt+F2 and then write "kwrite" and select the lower entry "Run kwrite" which works. Seems it's an issue with kdeinit4: $ ps aux | grep -v grep | grep kwrite 500 8555 96.6 0.9 564464 40104 ? R 13:54 81:32 kdeinit4: kwrite [kdeinit] 500 26941 49.3 0.9 564636 39852 ?

I too have two machines with same Nvidia graphics: G86M [Quadro NVS 140M] and according to mageia hardware reporter they vhave the same sub ID etc identical. Also they use same driver: NVIDIA GeForce 8100 to GeForce 360. Only graphic difference i know is the R61 have higher resolution screen. The Thinkpad T61 is fresh install from mga4b2 DVD 64 bit iso- kwrite launch OK. The Thinkpad R61 is upgraded from mga2 using the same USB stick: kwrite fail to launch from menu (or i.e doupleclicking a text file). Another problem on that R61 is that KDE apps fail printing, but i.e firefox can print, see Bug 12025. The R61 also feel slow...

just tested: changed graphics driver to nouveau -> restart -> kwrite starts via icon in start menu. also other failures are gone (amarok collection scanner freeze: bug 11742; akonadi fails to start: bug 12055)
FWIW this may be part of this too: X11 crashes in a virtualbox guest with cauldron (4) installed https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10442 Using nouveau it works fine.
Now i changed to noveau and kwrite starts on my R61 too! Also the return from suspend is OK (so far) - it was a bit buggy before but not consistently. Also the machine feel snappier.
nouveau solves a lot of bugs but as vdpau doesn't work for me with nouveau it's no alternative for the proprietary blob. also performance of "steam-games" will get poor I think. :-(

Hello Are these Nvidia-driver related bugs still open or did I miss something as MGA4 has been released, already? If the bugs won't (or can't) be fixed it's no problem for me (I've tested actual alternative distributions (opensuse and netrunner) - both worked for me in combination with Nvidia driver.) but please give me a short information if you still work on a solution or not. Thank you! Florian
Only seems partly fixed. E.g. after upgrading to Mageia 4, with nvidia 325.15 active, kwrite starts just fine. kdenlive and digikam do not, only via strace. But for the underlying problem with the nvidia driver, there's not much we can do about it. And there are workarounds available (using alternative drivers) and so far it only affects nvidia users.

Opens fine from Konsole but > not from menu. So this sounds like a slightly different bug than the other nvidia ones, but culprit still seems nvidia driver. FWIW, can you try the workaround proposed in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11975#c8 (edit the kwrite launcher -> program -> advanced settings -> enable "run as username" and put your username in there )

Yep still valid. Tested both for fresh user account and reused account. System: fresh network install last night mga4 x86_64 KDE, Nvidia driver 325.15. Hardware: Lenovo thinkpad R61 TYPE 8918-DFG = Centrino Duo, Nvidia G86M [Quadro NVS 140M] Workaround as per last line in above comment works. Changed to noveau, now kwrite can launch from menu, from konsole, and when user double cklicks a text file.

Thanks
It only works for launc icons located on desktop (or in a folder), not on the launch menu. (so if you do not have it on desktop, drag a copy of it from menu to desktop first, then) Right click the desktop icon, select item at bottom, properties (or similar), then select tab "Program" and down right click the [Advanced] button. There you see it.
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #32) > It only works for launc icons located on desktop (or in a folder), not on > the launch menu. How so? Right click the launch menu, edit menu entries and you can change all the menu entries there the same way as those on the desktop or elsewhere.
Ah, we thought you meant we should click the program icon. Yes using the menu editor also works: Launcher menu -> "Edit program" (translated from sv) -> select the program -> click the tab "Advanced"
This bug could be due to (or triggered by) an empty config file - /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf - incorrectly handled by a library (AFAIK, /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf is empty by default after install). To all reporters affected by this bug, if your /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf is empty (ls -l /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf), could you try to remove it (as root), and report if it fixes the bug or not. If /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf isn't empty and some programs doesn't launch correctly, please report too. Please report precisely which nvidia driver version (nvidia-current 325.15, 304.119 or 173.14.39) is used, which arch (i586, x86_64), and which program works or not. Thanks in advance, Luc

Hi, That fixes it, thanks. I have the released Mageia 4 installed. I test again to confirm that the bug still occurs. I invoke kwrite from the icon in the menu, kwrite does not start.

All right folks. I'm back and de-jetlagged ( 9-hours for me ) from FOSDEM. All I did was rename: /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf to /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf.tmp And Kwrite launches here just fine. What harm is done by doing this and what is pkcs11.conf used for?
Hello, Just activated nvidia driver this morning, and fell into the trap. Found this thread, so I copied /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf.example into pkcs11.conf, rather than renaming or deleting. Contains one line "user-config: merge", defaule value, they say. Works well now.
