Beryl logs me out

[Maxorata]

Hi,
After the latest Nvidia driver update, when I try to use Beryl, Fedora Core 6 logs me out. I don't get any error messages, I just have to log back on again. Not sure if this has anything to do with the nvidia driver, but it is happening ever since the latest driver update. I had not noticed this until today because I don't use Beryl much, but now that I think about it, it does the same thing when running Google Earth or any other 3-D application.
Is this related to the Nvidia driver? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Are the nVidia driver and your system version matching?

Have you installed the nVidia drivers?
Check with
rpm -qa | grep nvidia

[Maxorata]

There was a new update for both the kernel and the Nvidia driver today, and after updating, it continues doing exactly the same thing: Whenever I try to run Beryl or any other 3-D application, it logs me out.
Don't have a clue as to what is going on here. I don't mind about Beryl, I don't use it much, but Google Earth is a different story.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

This is the output of rpm -qa |grep nvidia
[Pedro@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia

i had this same problem when i tried to install beryl today and followed all the tutorials i could find.
i was about to give up when i came across this link in a ubuntu forum:

http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/dotclear...ryl-on-fedorav

this guy made a script that installs it all for you, and now mine all seems to be working. i hae a slow old nvidia tho, so it doesn't really work, but it probably will for you.

good luck and us know

Hello:
Not sure if this will help you or not, however, it's worth a shot and it has worked here in the past.

cd /home/username/.gconf/apps/gnome-session/rh
and
rm %gconf.xml

then reboot [rather than just restart your Xserver] and see if things have changed.

Thanks,
I'm not using GNOME, but KDE. This is not the first time that either Beryl or Nvidia are messed up after an upgrade. Updating the software normally works, but this time, it dit not.
Thanks anyway for trying to help.

Same here with gnome, after a livna kmod-nvidia update.
rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-2.6.22.2-42.fc6
(with kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 it works)

rpm -qa|grep nvidia
kmod-nvidia-100.14.11-1.2.6.22.2_42.fc6
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-100.14.11-1.lvn6.2

and
rpm -qa|grep beryl
beryl-core-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-gnome-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-plugins-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-manager-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-settings-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-settings-simple-0.2.0-1.fc6

I won't try that script proposed, because one comment says that it "backfires" and that there is no undo script.

I know this script well and is well written and can be uninstalled real easy ( I also use it in my ATI howto )

# How to uninstall XGL ? run installXGL_EN -r.
# The script can propose to install beryl, compiz and compiz-fusion: installXGL_EN -cb ...
# ... or propose to remove them: installXGL_EN -rcb.

Just because some moron couldn't take the time to read nicofo's blog properly and leaves a untrue comment you decide not to use it.


You should read it properly

Well, that's strange, but now it works.
What I did was install and reinstall the kernel, kmod and beryl, reboot and there you go.
The funny thing is that it didn't work when I only installed and reinstalled beryl alone first time.

Now I have:
kernel-2.6.22.2-42.fc6
kmod-nvidia-100.14.11-1.2.6.22.2_42.fc6
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-100.14.11-1.lvn6.2
beryl-settings-simple-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-plugins-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-manager-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-settings-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-core-0.2.0-1.fc6
beryl-gnome-0.2.0-1.fc6

Now how come it works, go figure!
Black Magic
I was about to drop back to kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 (which basically is kind of surrender, so I gave it a try again and voila).

I don't doubt that the script works. What I doubt is that I'm better than the 'morron', so as we say in Greece "take care of your clothes, so that you'll have half of them by the end" I'm kind of sceptic of even going livna, not to mention running third party scripts, especially when I really don't get what they do or how to repair them. On the other hand rpm is plug'n'play most of the time.

I know, lamer!
Anywayzzz it works! (let's hope It'll stick so).

I only had problems using the livna drivers. System loging out and restarts withour notice and all openGL scrensavers did not work well.

I installed from atrpms and it works bether, because now I can atleast use Beryl, but it still lock sometime and can not be used at all unless I'm loged as root.

Using beryl make my system as unstable as windows ME and starting beryl and superkarambe frezze the system.

I'm geting kind off tired off it and really want to solve it.
