Fresh Install

Hello! Finally got this too install.

First thing is first:

I went into /.mozilla and created the folder plugins, got the 64 bit flash and youtube works! Flash works!

Hurray! But my update manager keeps popping up with this:

Next I installed the nvidia driver for my GTX260 with the one click. I have two monitors and I have gone into the Nvidia config and tried activating the second one, save xfig and save config…but no dice I cannot get the second monitor to start up.(Even after rebooting).

Quit the updater applet

Open a terminal, become su -
and do

zypper up
3

It does not know you installed flash manually.

If I recall you must run the NVIDIA config program as root for the changes to take.

4

So I hit yes on this part?

The following package is going to be upgraded:
  pullin-flash-player

1 package to upgrade.
Overall download size: 4.0 KiB. No additional space will be used or freed after
the operation.
Continue? [y/n/?]

I’ve installed flash 64 bit manually and mozilla sees it.

5

I see.
Don’t install this, if you installed the _64 flash

Open Software Management and find the flash-player it’s trying to install and the pullin package (you may need to delete this) and then taboo them both.

6

Hey sorry but I don’t understand what you mean by the word

“taboo”

Does that mean delete and all is fine, so forget?

7

Packages that are not installed can be marked as Taboo. or Never Install. Otherwise this flash package will keep trying to install itself

8

Sweet I will try that, when I get home of course =)

Also why is there no documentation on obtaining 3D support for my nvidia card? Unless I am looking at the wrong spot, if so please direct me where to go.

9

If you installed the proprietary driver you will have 3D support.

Is there a way to check? I did it with the one click method…

11

Also my package updater doesn’t want to start up at all in GUI after a reboot.

12

In a terminal type this:

glxgears

what happens?

And post result of:

/usr/sbin/hwinfo --gfxcard
