Testing Upgrade HUGE Problems
Hello there!I use KDE 4.2.1. I upgraded to testing for first time...Works, but I have several serious problems:
1)Nvidia drivers and Nvidia utils were upgraded to 180.41, but now when I try to launch /usr/bin/nvidia-settings I get a segmentation fault.When I run only nvidia-settings it works normally.
2)When I write text, the cursor response when I continuously press eg. the backspace button changed and it takes more time before deleting the characters...I find this pretty annoying..How can I change that?
3)Control+Alt+Backspace does not terminate X-server anymore!!!!Why????
4)When I login the screen goes black and the only way to start plasma is via yakuake(I have it at Autostart)...The last was the hugest problem...
5)Alt+F2, to execute command also stopped working...

3) perfectly normal with xorg-server 1.6. they disabled by default. you can add to xorg.conf Server Flags section DontZap false
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Testing Upgrade HUGE Problems
Amarok-Problem: You have to downgrade libmysqlclient, mysql, mysql-clients to the versions from extra, maybe kernel26 too.
It's a bug planet!

Re: Testing Upgrade HUGE Problems
5) I think that's krunner. Try running it from konsole and see if there's any useful information. If it runs fine, double check your key bindings places in systemsettings..
1) Try nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta from aur maybe. This may also fix your plasma issue "4)", but I doubt it. For that, try not using the login manager (kdm) if you use it and instead add the corresponding kde entry to ~/.xinitrc and start kde via the command line with startx, and see if you get useful output. If you don't know how to do that, see the beginner's guide.
This is all really normal procedure, you should know this by now if you want to be using things from testing.. especially goes for the ctrl+alt+backspace thing, it's been mentioned on the forums quite a number of times.
