OpenSUSE Hardware :: NVIDIA - Slowness When Swithching Desktops / Fix It?
Sep 5, 2010
OS: OpenSUSE 11.3
CPU: Quad Core 6700
RAM: 4 GB
Video: GF9800 GT
NVIDIA Driver Version: 256.53
Shell - Gnome (sometimes WindowMaker too - but i switch to Gnome now - because hoping about problem is in WM - but i can see now - is not a shell problem)
Composite extensions is OFF - in xorg.conf
Problem:
When I switch desktops the entire system for some time - 5 8 seconds freezes.
If I switch desktops are empty - all excellent.
If there an no open applications - all excellent. But if even a single application using openGL - hangs and freezes.code...

The most immediately apparent consequence of upgrading to KDE 4.4.3 is that Krunner is very slow or freezes completely. The run command from Lancelot is still quick and responsive and launches app's immediately, unfortunately Krunner takes an age to launch the application and sometimes does nothing at all.

For a while now, even before upgrading to 11.04, after booting everything was working so so slow for few minutes.
I'm turning on my computer and wait, its not like I'm starting opening programs or anything.
It takes 10-15 seconds to the terminal to open up, and for another 15-20 seconds its totally blank and I can't do anything. When it does finally opens, starting XAMPP takes too long.
It wasn't like that when I bought the laptop few months ago, everything was snappy and responsive.
The only software that starts on startup is Gnome-Do, besides it the list if full of some services..
So, to my questions:Is there any software that can investigate this slowness?
What can I do to speed things up?

Is/are there a tutorial(s) for KDE 4 maybe written for OpenSuse? I'd especially like to get a better handle on having different activities on different desktops. I've seen one for PCLinuxOS that refers to something called ZUI and zoom in & out but am having trouble relating.

I am hoping I have a simple one to solve here! I've been looking around online, trying to find out how to configure multiple desktops to have their own taskbar.Most of my results suggest that I should be able to click on the menu, choose favorites, and go to Configure Desktop. In the new window, I should see a taskbar section on the left hand side?I am running OpenSUSE 11.2 on two machines and neither of them have this option. I just wanted to see if somebody knows where I can find the window to configure separate taskbars for each desktop?

for a month or so I have had a problem with the way that a programme interacts with (I think) KDE. If I go away to a different vitual desktop/workspace, the programme in question locks up, using 100% of CPU and I have to kill it. I thought it was due to a buggy update and that it would get sorted in time. The prog is a windows prog running flawlessy under Crossover, at least it was until this started. If is put all my open windows on the same desktop,

I use an MS mouse/keyboard combo model 6000 (ver. 2) and for the most part they work great, that is except for a problem with the mouse wheel scrolling through the desktops if the cursor is on a desktop.If the cursor is in/on a window it scrolls through the window as normal.t also scrolls through the desktops if I "side click" the mouse wheel as well. I've run sax2 and the mouse moduledoesn't even appear but my Wacom tablet settings do. Very perplexing to say the least.

The freeze's on my machine only appears when i monitor the temperature of
the gpu. Normally i use gkrellm to monitor temperatures including the gpu temperature. When i stop gkrellm there a no more freeze's on my system. Then i started nvdock which also monitor the gpu temperature and the freeze's are back. Stopping nvdock make the system working normally. I have done a few reboots now, warm and also cold starts und everything works normal.

I own an ASUS N61JV-X2 notebook PC that has an Intel HD IGP, nVIDIA GeForce GT 325M GPU, and nVIDIA Optimus technology. I am running OpenSUSE 11.4 64 bit with GNOME. I used to be a former Ubuntu user. I used Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat 64 bit. In Ubuntu, it was not recommended that I install the proprietary nVIDIA binary drivers because it would cause me to log into a TTY console upon reboot.
nVIDIA states that they have no plans to support Optimus technology in Linux at any time. Would it be recommended that I install the proprietary nVIDIA binary drivers in OpenSUSE 11.4 64 bit with GNOME? Will I get the same problem as in Ubuntu? How do I do this?

Is it possible to map the same "Present Windows - All Desktops" action which is invoked by activating the top left corner of active screens via a keyboard shortcut? I basically want to ape OSX and have an expose-like button, the screen edge works fine for now, but I would love a keyboard shortcut also. Is it possible? Also, when I set up a custom keyboard shortcut to run yast, I initially tried using the same command from the KDE menu: /usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2
However, when I use the keyboard shortcut to launch this command, I get problems when trying to use zypper after the initial launch using the keyboard shortcut(from yast GUI or CLI). The error basically states another instance of yast2 already exists. The problem is only with the app/repo management modules though; for instance I can launch yast (using keyboard shortcut or start menu) and access hardware info, sudo users etc, I just can't access software/repo management stuff. Even when I kill the offending PID from the CLI I still get the error and have to restart the box to rectify it proper. So I changed the keyboard shortcut command to : /usr/bin/kdesu /sbin/yast2
and this seems to have resolved the problem. My second question is what is the difference between the two in this particular instance and why does one cause problems (xdg-su) and the other does not (kdesu).

I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers but it is not working.
lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3)
My xorg.conf looks like this:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
[code]...
And after that my X is not working. And when i try sudo modprobe nvidia I get this:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/nvidia/nvidia.ko): No such device

My Fedora 11 Acer Aspire One system updated today from Kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586 to kernel 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i586
On reboot, the lower panel on my Gnome desktop is missing the 4 rectangles for selecting desktops 1-4. Also, when you open Firefox, terminal etc, there is no tab on the lower panel either.
Is there a way to get them back?

When I rightclick on the workspace applet, and go to preferences, there is no option to change the number of desktops. Nor is there an option in the "desktop effects" application under System>Preferences.
I installed ccsm, and changing the number of desktops in there does not do anything.
I am running fedora 13.

So I've seen the tutorials where you simply tell nautilus to not draw the wallpaper and then use ccsm's wallpaper-plugin to set different wallpapers. It's just that I don't seem to have said plugin Where could it be?

(I have no doubt this had been asked before, but Googling has turned up numerous results - many of which are written with the assumption that you're a Linux Pro, which I'm certainly not. If there is a more relevant thread already active please point me towards it.)I'm looking for a tool, or console command, to tell certain programs to automatically open on a specific desktop. i.e. Instead of TweetDeck, Thunderbird and Pidgin all appearing on Desktop 1 when I open them up, I want Thunderbird to always live on Desktop 4, TweetDeck to always live on Desktop 3, etc.
