A graphical issue, Dolphin and Firefox cannot show picture preview.

English Applications
#1

I am running Opensuse 11.3, KDE 64 bit. I have a nvidia GeForce 9400 GT graphic card.
Somehow Dolphin and Firefox cannot show picture preview.

It comes out like this; ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing

ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing

Would anyone know how to solve this?

#2

Did you install the driver?
nVidia Driver via Repo in 11.3 - Guide

#3

No, it just has a custom driver, ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing

I will look into the guide, - by the way, do you do everything around here, you just helped me in the multimedia forum… :wink:

#4

Ups… forget that last picture, I think my brain crosswired there…

#5

Whereas this picture is a right picture; - when i following the guide get to Yast/system/etc/sysconfig I get this screen
ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing
so I get stuck there…

#6

And did you click on the + by the word system?

#7

Got that, and did it. When I get to

Add the nVidia repo for 11.3: http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.3/

Now open Yast > Software > Software Managemen

t - you mean I don’t use Yast to add the repo.? How do I do it then…?

#8

You can add the repo like this in a su terminal

zypper ar -f http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.3/ nvidia

then do

zypper ref

accept key/licence
close terminal

Now open Yast >Software Management - and the driver should be added automatically for install
accept
when done - reboot

#9

Right. Then tell me, when i get to Yast software management, and open the nvidia repo it looks like this
ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing
how much of it should I mark and choose. Just the one that is automatically added, og should I mark and install all?

#10

That’s correct let it install as it is

#11

Will do…

And did it, - and that seems to have done it. :slight_smile:

Once again, thanks a lot, caf4926

#12

No problem
Enjoy openSUSE

#13

Hmm and maybe, alas, it is not so simple… Today I have several times experienced that my GUI freezes. First there is like a ripple or a visible glitch, and then it freezes. I can’t access it. I write GUI because behind i can hear and see the machine is working, and afterwards the task may have been done. One time it did it closing down, and i could hear it making its closing down sound, and it closed, - but up until last second the screen remained the desktop. One other time it came back again after the freeze.

I am thinking it might have something to do with installing the nvidia driver…? (or with this? http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/install-boot-login/446486-unaccessible-not-used-1-2-tb-ghost-ext4-partition-made-during-installation.html)

I pretty sure you are better with the driver than not.

Do this in a terminal

.xsession-errors > xsession.txt

Then go to you user folder and find the file xsession.txt
paste the contents to pastebin
and link us

#15

If I write that, the box answers only:

.xsession-errors: command not found

(that was in the txt file)

#16

Did you copy and paste that code into a terminal?

#17

mm I copied

.xsession-errors > xsession.txt
into the box…

And it made a text in /home saying

.xsession-errors: command not found

#18

View hidden files
right click it and open with kwite
copy contents and paste

#19

Made it show hidden files in dolphin home

Right clicked on xsession.txt, opened it with kwrite

and here is the content:

.xsession-errors: command not found

#20

There was also with hidden files shown, a txt called .xsession-errors
Its content is too long, the forum wont put it
(just put it in a document, its 14 pages long)

Do you want it? I could post it in pieces…
