Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video driver
An update, for anyone who may be following this thread, or stumbling on it down the track. I found that fiddling with the screen orientation using KDE's 'System Settings'-'Display and Monitor'-'Size and Orientation' made the problem go away, even if I changed the settings back to what they were before. I don't have the time or inclination to work out just why this worked, but it might provide a lead for someone else. Thanks for the suggestions!

What appears to happen is that everything above a certain point is good, but below it the text simply doesn't appear. I've not seen any other application that has the same problem. I've attached a typical screenshot to demonstrate the effect. It always helps if you: 1) tell others what version of LO you are having issues with (and also if it is from LO or some other source; linux distribution repository or PPA, etc), 2) what OS type and version (there are about thousands of versions of linux). My /guess/ is that you are running some form of Ubuntu, if correct please tell us which version you are running. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Try the Debian user lists to verify. Reason for pressing this is that nouveau is still pretty experimental, and IMO not ready for anything yet. If you file a bug in Debian they may be able to help. If you file a bug in LO they may just say you have a crap video driver. Note: I checked the LO bug list for possible related bugs didn't find any. But you might also have a look as well: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/ Anyway thanks, I'll try filing a bug report as you suggested. Welcome good luck.

Sorry I don't know what I was thinking. I was obviously using the nouveau driver. Previously I'd been using the proprietary driver, but it must have been the 173 not the 71 variety.

From your lsmod output your video graphics is entirely handled by kmod-nvidia (although the nouveau package is installed, it is disabled). I personally grew weary of nvidia propriety driver months ago and settled for nouveau. It'll be interesting if I can replicate your scenario otherwise I've had no issues using LibreOffice on my nouveau driver. - from twohot@device.mobile :) -Original Message- From: Andrew Douglas Pitonyakand...@pitonyak.org Date: Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:55:12 To:users@global.libreoffice.org Reply-To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video driver [root@pitonyak ~]# lsmod | grep -i nvidia nvidia 12112133 40 i2c_core 25728 3 nvidia,videodev,i2c_i801 Without grep: Module Size Used by lp 9581 0 tun14111 0 ppdev 7360 0 parport_pc 19600 0 parport32310 3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc fuse 61671 5 bnep 14195 2 bluetooth 202902 7 bnep lockd 70080 0 rfkill 16336 3 bluetooth ip6t_REJECT 4008 2 nf_conntrack_ipv6 7714 2 nf_defrag_ipv6 9115 1 nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv4 8310 2 nf_defrag_ipv4 1513 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 xt_state1306 4 nf_conntrack 67597 3 nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state ip6table_filter 1655 1 ip6_tables 16776 1 ip6table_filter binfmt_misc 6983 1 reiserfs 211389 2 nvidia 12112133 40 uvcvideo 56989 0 videodev 78689 1 uvcvideo joydev 9567 0 snd_usb_audio 105405 1 snd_usbmidi_lib18071 1 snd_usb_audio snd_rawmidi19878 1 snd_usbmidi_lib snd_hda_codec_realtek 312967 1 media 11511 2 uvcvideo,videodev v4l2_compat_ioctl32 7665 1 videodev snd_hda_intel 24072 2 snd_hda_codec 85462 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 6264 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_codec snd_seq52186 0 snd_seq_device 5941 2 snd_rawmidi,snd_seq i7core_edac16001 0 snd_pcm78498 3 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 19372 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm i2c_i8019237 0 edac_core 40154 3 i7core_edac snd63124 17 snd_usb_audio,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer iTCO_wdt 12024 0 iTCO_vendor_support 2578 1 iTCO_wdt soundcore 6267 1 snd snd_page_alloc 7311 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm r8169 40493 0 asus_atk0110 12395 0 i2c_core 25728 3 nvidia,videodev,i2c_i801 microcode 18539 0 mii 4335 1 r8169 serio_raw 4298 0 uinput 7230 0 sunrpc201219 2 lockd ata_generic 3587 0 pata_acpi 3419 0 mxm_wmi 1727 0 firewire_ohci 26101 0 pata_jmicron2643 0 firewire_core 49303 1 firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1547 1 firewire_core wmi 9049 1 mxm_wmi uas 7775 0 usb_storage45966 0 On 12/03/2011 02:10 AM, Onyeibo Oku wrote: What's your output for: lsmod nvidia - from twohot@device.mobile :) -Original Message- From: Andrew Douglas Pitonyakand...@pitonyak.org Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:57:16 To:users@global.libreoffice.org Reply-To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video driver I was not aware of Leigh's advice until I saw your response here.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video driver
It always helps if you: 1) tell others what version of LO you are having issues with (and also if it is from LO or some other source; linux distribution repository or PPA, etc), Here are the details. I'm currently running LO version 3.4.4 OOO340m1 from the Debian sid (unstable) repository. The Debian revision number is 1:3.4.4-2. My OS is Debian/sid. The video driver is from the package xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-71xx revision 71.86.15-1 with kernel module built using nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-dkms revision 71.86.15-1 My kernel is 3.1.0-1-686-pae My video card is a dual-head GoForce something - sorry I can't seem to find the model number in /var/log/Xorg.0.log though it does mention Chipset: NVIDIA NV34 My xorg.conf is cut-and-paste below. For what it's worth, I have never had any trouble with QT apps, as some other repliers to this thread have. Only with OOo and LO.
