Problem in shell

hello

I have a problem with the shell. Randomly when I go out of KDE, Shell appears with characters ineligible. Not always!

When used the Slack13.0 not the case that. It happens now using Slack 13.1b.

Fresh installation of slackware13.1b; did not update ...

I believe it's to do with your video driver. Which one are you using?

hmm, it happened to me a few times in the past (also with nvidia binary drivers). What I usually did was reinstall the driver and the problem went away. The 36.24-pkg1 version seems to be the latest for 32-bit versions of linux. Try reinstalling it and have a look at some notes about configuring it:

See what happens

Try to type 'reset' and press <Enter>.
However, this is really a bug.

This happens with nvidia.

You could try setting vga=normal in lilo.conf that usually fixes it

I do not know much about linux...

I think it would be interesting to know which distributions,
using the kernel2.6.33.4, and see if the same happens with the drivers from Nvidia ...

Because if not, then it is something related to the Slack13.1b ...

thanks

Try the drivers, thanks.

At the moment I uncheck System Settings >> Advanced>> Desktop Search >>> Basic Settings >> Enable Nepomuk Semantic Desktop

This causes the activities hdd, and cpu works hot due to the indexing system ...

So far, I have had no problems related to the subject of the topic (so far no problem with shell) ...

If the problem appears again, try this version of Nvidia drivers ...

Intuitively, I think, perhaps some "instability" at the moment I do logout in KDE, and I'm going to shell ...

I do not think that is related to the video driver, because, apart from that,the X works fine ...

many thanks :-)

That is because some X application(s) printed out garbage on the text console. The video state is ok but the virtual terminal's state is wrong for you. Just "reset".

This has been a known problem with nvidia drivers for many versions now. The driver messes up the framebuffer console and nvidia haven't been bothered to try fix it (if it is down to them to do it and not x.org)

I will try that driver version though to see if it works for me too.

Right!

On the other hand (perhaps stubbornness & curiosity, my), after which disabled it,
Nepomuk Semantic Desktop,so far, I have had no problems ...

Wait a little longer, then the problem returns, I will use the alternatives ...

many thanks :-)

Hello

Well ... My suspicion is wrong! I mean, disable "Nepomuk Semantic Desktop",
does not solve the problem.

Then tested the method indicated above, for sycamorex .

http://blog.tpa.me.uk/2010/04/09/con...-on-slackware/

I used the driver :
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.15-pkg1.run

Also did not work! :-(

My xorg.conf


Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder75)  Fri Mar 12 01:44:55 PST 2010

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder75)  Fri Mar 12 01:42:27 PST 2010

    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection
I will try to install the version of drivers

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run

or use the nvidia-driver and nvidia-kernel SlackBuilds provided by Heinz Wiesinger ...

many thanks
