p.s. I clicked on Desktop#6 in the Pager and KWin crashed while the desktops where changing (the animated 3-d desktop cube rotation.) mmm. A lot of Qt code at the top of the crash report (#7 to #14). I'm really not sure its an oxygen related crash. Does the crash happen often ? Is there a way to reproduce ? Indeed the line pointed to by #7: e.g. /usr/include/bits/string3.h:52) corresponds to some mem_cpy. So my best guess indeed is that you ran out of memory. Things to try to reduce memory footprint (on the oxygen front). 1/ in oxygen-style - disable animations (using oxygen-settings) - disable pixmap caching (by adding MaxCacheSize=1 under the [Style] section of .kde4/share/config/oxygenrc) 2/ in oxygen-deco set the Shadow Caching mode to 'disabled' in oxygen-settings. Outside of oxygen, don't run applications that eat too much memory ! see: http://hugo-kde.blogspot.com/2010/09/performance-issues-one-script-and-call.html I made a couple of commits that strongly reduces (up to x10) the memory usage for oxygen style) Should help. If you have a chance to run it (or use kde4.5.2 when it is out), and if you do observe significant memory reduction, please close the bug, cause indeed it should largely prevent these kind of crash. still happening ? I suspect memory corruption or memory getting full. |
