KDE/nVidia first-run problems #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Installing the nVidia drivers from nvidia.com before starting KDE (on a
fresh install with empty home) will most likely end in a broken KDE, unable
to login.

Fix: Start KDE before installing the drivers

Fix an already broken installation:
1) Shutdown KDM (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdm stop)
2) Remove driver (nvidia-uninstall)
3) Remove xorg-server (pkg_delete -f modular-xorg-server)
4) Remove kde configs (.kde* .qt)
5) Reinstall xorg-server (dp install/pkg_add modular-xorg-server)
6) Start KDM (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdm start)
7) Login/logout
8) Shutdown KDM (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdm stop)
9) Install driver (sh NVIDIA-*.sh)
10) Start KDM (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdm start)

Problem only when using pkgsrc. Since pkgsrc has been removed from Draco, this 
bug
will be closed.
