Version: 0.8.0 (using KDE 3.4.2, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker) Compiler: Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-12mdk Running digikam slide show with OpenGL transitions selected, sometimes causes LINUX to crash ( The computer reboots)! Using [GeForce FX 5700LE] NVIDIA 7676 kernel-2.6.12-12mdk-i586
Ok I can test it (not now but I'll do) my hw is similar and I have mandriva 2006 installed :). One thing though, can the reporter try again the test with a recent kernel (mandriva official update is 2.6.12-18) and a recent nvidia driver. You can download the related packages from plf (have a look at easyurpmi.zarb.org) libnvidia-xorg1-8756-0.1.20060plf libnvidia-xorg1-devel-8756-0.1.20060plf dkms-nvidia-8756-0.1.20060plf nvidia-xorg-8756-0.1.20060plf and add a comment for it? Thanks Angelo
Angelo, I am not used to update kernel and drives outside from Mandriva Linux Control Center -> Sofware Management -> Update Option In fact, It should not be necessary to look for other packges out from MLCC -> Update Optinon to keep me Updated. It seems that paying for being a Mandriva Club Member does not worth while. I upgraded the system based on what you asked. On the first moment I tried digiKam, and the computer rebooted again. After I rebooted, I saw that I should choose the new kernel, And I saw the system compiling new nvidia driver. Since that it is working well. Thank you very much for the help!!! Sincerely, Ricardo Kerry From S

Well in this case is not a problem of payng or not. The kernel is a critical update, so automatically you can update (from mcc) the kernel-source but not the kerned itself. So you have to choose it manually. > > I upgraded the system based on what you asked. > On the first moment I tried digiKam, and the computer rebooted again. Because you didn't update the nvidia modules, you run the old kernel and that meant you have the old modules. > After I rebooted, I saw that I should choose the new kernel, And I saw the system compiling new nvidia driver. That shows you've already updated (automatically) the kernel source package, but not the the kernel. I mean you need the kernel source to rebuild nvidia, but the kernel source of the kernel you're running. Be aware for that in the future :) > Since that it is working well. > Thank you very much for the help!!! Great bug closed!
