01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8500 GT (rev a1)
I installed the following packages, ran nvidia-xconfig and rebooted:
nvidia-xconfig-1.0-1.fc12.x86_64
nvidia-settings-1.0-3.2.fc12.x86_64
livna-config-display-0.0.23-1.fc11.noarch
kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64-190.42-1.fc12.9.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-190.42-1.fc12.9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.42-5.fc12.x86_64
When the system came up I did not get a login prompt, just a black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left. I did a Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to a console window and did an init 3 followed by an init 5 to restart the server. This is what I got:
Applying Intel CPU microcode update: Starting monitoring for VG vg_jackstraw: 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_jackstraw" monitored
[ OK ]
Checking for module nvidia.ko: [ OK ]
Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 520: 3759 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$@"
[FAILED]
I then uninstalled the nvidia packages, removed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and rebooted. The system came back up and I could login. However, I encountered a very strange problem. The upper and lower panels appeared just fine (I use Gnome), however, the icons that show up on the desktop, e.g. Trash and Computer did not show up. When I try to log out I get a popup saying the file manager is not responding. It also appears that several of the applets that are supposed to show up on the top panel don't show up.
I created a new user, logged out of the system as me and relogged in as the new user, and the same problem occurred. So the problem isn't related to my user account the problem is global.
Anyone know how I can fix this? And does anyone know what the problem is with the nvidia driver?
Once I solve the file manager problem I will try to install the driver from nvidia.
The system was previously running F9 with the driver from Nvidia.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paolo
