Description of problem: After fresh MGA5 64bit installation, update and setting of the proportional driver nvidia340 is KDE4 damaged after reboot and login. After login to KDE4 the background is black, crash of KDEInit (warnings), Dolphin does not open home folder. This trouble does not come with nouveau driver. Possible cause: In logs you can find incorrect UID=0 for the user "jiira" with nvidia driver, if nouveau is used, then UID=1000. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa|grep nvidia|sort dkms-nvidia340-340.96-1.mga5.nonfree nvidia340-doc-html-340.96-1.mga5.nonfree nvidia340-kernel-desktop-latest-340.96-1.mga5.nonfree nvidia340-kernel-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5-340.76-27.mga5.nonfree nvidia340-kernel-4.1.15-desktop-2.mga5-340.96-1.mga5.nonfree x11-driver-video-nvidia340-340.96-1.mga5.nonfree Hardware: # lspcidrake -v Card:NVIDIA GeForce 8100 to GeForce 415: NVIDIA Corporation|C77 [GeForce 8200M G] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:10de device:0845 subv:103c subd:360a) (rev: a2) How reproducible: always after nvidia prop. driver installation and set as default (MCC/konsole - drakx11) Steps to Reproduce: 1. install MGA5 64bit 2. set tainted and nonfree mirrors and update system 3. install nvidia340 driver 4. reboot the system and log in to KDE4 5. KDE4 crashes 6. go to drakx11 and set nouveau driver 7. reboot, KDE4 works well Please find attached logs below. All files have been created after crash and switched into tty2.

does it reoccur if you select the NVidia driver again? Asking because of: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_5_Errata#X_might_fail_to_start_for_nvidia_graphics_cards_using_nvidia340_driver_.28GeForce_8100_to_GeForce_415.29

Thanks Marja, we have tested it again and now the driver nvidia works. The command init 3 in tty2 is important. Now we have a trouble with kwin effects, which causes screen tearing and corruption. Dolphin etc. works. LXDE with nvidia works fine. Nouveau driver works well for all environments. But it is an other issue. Closing this bug. Reopen if needed.

Reopening, crashes back in LXDE with nvidia340 too. Run glxgears crashes immediatelly. We have tried in xorg.conf these option: Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }" https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVidia/nvidia-drivers#No_vertical_synchronization_.28no_VSync.2C_tearing.29_in_OpenGL_applications and tested as well in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf: blacklist nouveau options nvidia NVreg_EnableMSI=0 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1310966#p1310966 but does not help. With nouveau driver no crashes. I am interest, if somebody has the same troubles with this card and nvidia340.

Summary: Environment corrupted with nvidia340 - wrong UID? => Environment corrupted with nvidia340
Finally, we have a solution. At tty2, init 3 under root, drakx11 (MCC also) wants to install a driver nvidia340 for the tested NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G, means these packages: nvidia340-kernel-4.1.15-desktop-2 x11-driver-video-nvidia340-340.96 dkms-nvidia340 and next dependencies. After reboot, environment crashes after during work on the computer. Workaround - install nvidia304 manually (MCC doesn't choose it)- this card is supported by this driver as well (see nVidia webpage): - go to tty2 (CTRL+ATL+F3 or F4 etc.) $ su # init 3 # urpme x11-driver-video-nvidia340 dkms-nvidia340 # urpmi x11-driver-video-nvidia304 ### will download all dependencies # urpmi dkms-nvidia304 ### install it at last! It will configure the driver # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf ### check a line "Driver "nvidia"",if "nouveau",use mc, rewrite the file and save # reboot Then, all works fine - tested with glxgears, glxspheres64, GPU Benchmarks. FYI: we compared xorg.conf of nvidia340 with nvidia304 and it looks the same. Regards yullaw Closing. Please reopen if needed. Please add the solution to wiki page, if neccessary. Thanks.

Ok, can you post lspcidrake -v so we can default this card to nvidia304 then
