Hello

Recently, the latest update of the nvidia driver (G04) for current cards (Geoforce 9xx) broke many people's installation. Until the driver itself is fixed, the current solution was to make sure there was only one kernel installed. I got hte problem and used that solution which works.

However and sadly.. in my case it affects Krita. I use the latest stable version from the repositories 2.9.1-3.8.8 and the program shuts down with any action related to the canvas, painting a single stroke, making a selection, etc..

It could be the current NVidia driver or the way Krita works, I don't know. I can tell you that Gimp does not has a problem as I'm using it while the problem is solved , whichever is.. Krita, the Nvidia driver or the iteration between the two of them.

Best

Well a cursory glance around the forums can tell you that Krita unlike Gimp has an openGL driven canvas that can be turned off via settings->configure Krita->display->openGL. Turning it off here might help, but there's also a few other options to play with such as 'use texture buffer'.

You could also check out if the same problem happens on the 3.0 pre-alpha(the portable linux builds and it's instructions can be found in the news posts), this is worth doing because 2.9.1 is pretty old. We're on 2.9.11 now for stable releases and we may have actually fixed this bug past year.

Very likely, what is happening is that the OpenGL compatibility mode broke on those drivers. Regardless, if you get a thingy which tries to generate a crash report we'd like to see it.

Thank you, didn't knew that since Krita and Suse has always been very stable for me, only 2 troubles in more than 5 years, both related to the Nvidia driver (first one was a conflict between a kernel update the the nvidia driver) I'll check those settings, and will post the crash report.

Running by the command line I found:

when using a tool on the canvas:

Must likely the driver then, I have OpenGl turned off

But thanks for looking.

UPDATE:

I installed Krita 2.9.9git from another repository from krita.org. It hasn't crashed now.

Hope it got solved. thank you.

UPDATE 2: I was working on it and didn't had any trouble, I guess updating the version solved my crash problem. I still have OpenGL turned off.

You can also try the stable calligra/krita 2.9.11 from openSUSE's KDE:Extra repository.

See https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_reposit ... n_releases, but you should also just find it in YaST's "Community Repositories" list (open YaST->Software Repositories, click on "Add", leave the default "Community Repositories" selected and enable the Repo in the list).
You can switch the installed version by clicking on "Versions" below the package list in YaST->Software Management.
