i didn't quote the log files, i've just put them between the "code" tags, as i though it should works like some other forums where the "code" tags show the log files into a scrolling window, instead of taking all the page. but it doesn't here. i will send them as zips. about my problem, the viewer doesn't start: i can only see the outher boundary of a full black window, no menues, no buttons, no images. edit: the log.zip file enclosed

Your system is a 64bits one, so my guess is that you are missing some 32bits compatibility libraries (especially: libpng, libpixman, libpcre which are required for the QT Webkit browser). Try: And see what ldd reports (watch for missing libraries and libraries pointing to 64bits ones instead of 32bits ones).

i think i've got all requested dependencies but libgl, because: by google translation: Resolution dependency ... Research of the ongoing conflicts ... Libgl :: nvidia-utils and are in conflict. Want to remove nvidia-utils? [y / N] y Error: Can not perform the requested operation (could not satisfy dependencies) :: Nvidia: requires nvidia-utils = 295.53 :: Nvidia-settings: requires nvidia-utilsmay it be my problem? sorry but i don't know how to use ldd command, and for wich files to use. could you suggest me the exact command you wish me to run pls? PS: i've got the package from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55985

I gave it to you in my last post !!!... See the two lines enclosed in the "Code" section. Sorry, but I don't provide support for third parties' packages (why aren't you using the installer I provide and why are you taking the risk of using a hacked package from an unknown source ???). Please, ask to the packager: they shall know how to make their own package work, shan't they ?

Actually, I am the packager  What the package does is simply check the dependencies and then run the installer and then install .desktop files etc. Peterpan, that shouldn't be a problem. If you look at nvidia-util's PKGBUILD (lines 80–81), you will see: which means that the nvidia bundle contains the required libraries already, hence it doesn't need (it already contains) libgl. I don't know why your AUR helper complains, but I recommend you do the following: (a) Try manually installing the package, without a helper. Simply download the "source" tarball, uncompress it, and run makepkg inside. If it succeeds, then pacman -U the package. If it keeps complaining about conflicts with libgl, open the PKGBUILD file with a text editor, and delete libgl from the depends array. (b) Reinstall the nvidia bundle (c) Ask at the Chakra forums.

Please, seek help from your Linux distribution forum/community. I'm afraid I can't help you since it's obviously a distribution-specific issue and I don't know this distribution.
