floating point exception after kde 4.6 install

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello :wink:

Could you help me understand why installing kde 4.6 from factory repos went wrong ?

i used zypper dup with oss, non-oss and update repos for 11.3 to reset to default install and boot went ok :

this goes with the following package versions:
$ kded4 --version
Qt : 4.6.3
KDE : 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) “release 3”

i’m using this x86 kernel :
uname -a
Linux linux-66k9 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-12-13 11:13:53 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

i have last nvidia driver : 260.19.29.run installed from init3 console with geforce 7900gs card , this goes well.

my problem :
when i add factory repos (core and extra) for kde install of packages from yast is ok when switching system packages to these … but after reboot i have floating point exceptions and a black screen and can’ t boot anymore.

the only way out i found so far is to zypper dup to go back to kde 4.4.4 :frowning:

Where is this problem comming from ? How come ?

thanks :wink:

This is a problem with the latest NVIDIA driver and KDE. See if downgrading your NVIDIA driver to version 256.53 helps.

And upgrade your KDE 4.4.4 to KDE 4.6.0.
