Small, but disagreeable problems after update to -current 64bit (maybe GTK problems)

After last update(20 nov)- few strange things.

- Don't view popup menu for Network Manager applet. If right or left click at NM tray applet- See only line at top left corner of screen (it's seems like then menu coordinates not at visible screen)
- Same problems in recompiled Transmission (menu) - not see any menu, but see line at top left of screen
- Same in Nvidia server settings. And when close this software- Confirm menu is visible, but at top left of screen. (start from 0px/0px from corner)
- Same problems in MELD.

Hi...

Welcome to the forum :)

Not sure I can help here but for the benefit of those who can, what distribution and version are you using?

Regards...

I using slackware-64 current.
Interesting moment- problem exist only with enabled Nvidia driver(358.16).
xorg.conf in this variant
----
Section "Module"
Load "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

----
If X run in VESA mode(xorg.conf deleted)- all menu(in NM, Transmission, MELD) correctly show.

And problem exist for two not same notebooks, one with optimus technoly, Nvidia 740M, second- Nvidia GTX970M

Transmission 2.84 (recompiled on -current) menu works for me, using GTK+3.18 I think.

Edit: Have you tried the long term 352.63 driver?

Mats

Only now try 352.63 driver- problem exist.
In few minutes try 340.96, and write result.

P.S. 340.96(manually installed) - same.
Can't find solution. Now see slackbuild for nvidia.

Be careful, 340.xx drivers don't support GTX 970M.
Remember to edit the $VERSION string in the SlackBuild-script.

I try now at notebook with 740M(lenovo z710)
But.....problem exist.
VESA- all work excellent... Strange ((

I would hope you are using bumblebee bumblebee-project http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:har...nvidia_optimus
as for how you upgraded from a stable platform to a new platform may yield many things.
as for the gtk problem again this means do you have broken links from the upgrade.
Right now upgrading from 14.1 to current means doing a full clean system.
None of my upgrade test have passed one hundred percent.

Code:

slackpkg update

slackpkg install-new

slackpkg upgrade-all

slackpkg clean-system

then make sure you do not have /etc/slackpkg/blacklist

#

# aaa_elflibs can be upgraded

#

#aaa_elflibs

then set your slackpkg mirror to current.
again

Code:

slackpkg update

slackpkg install-new

slackpkg upgrade-all

now go rebuild your bumblebee.
This is a huge change in slackware I wish it was as simple as
upgrading from 14.0 to 14.1 but it has a few big changes.
or you can do it the slackware way. when 14.2 comes out this page will be written for 14.2.

No problem. You might see an "Edit" button on the bottom of that particular post, if so, click on it and remove what's in the text window and then click "Save" right below it. :)
