KWin tries best to detect features of the video drivers. It can, however, not prevent crashes when there are bugs in the drivers. Please report the bug to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ a) the backtrace is of little use because it lacks important informations about what code was called inside kwin b) if however results in #7 0xb3910ab7 in xcb_glx_get_string_string_length () from /usr/lib/libxcb-glx.so.0 #8 0xb6ac1da4 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 #9 0xb6aa5b34 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 #10 0xb6aa316f in glXMakeCurrentReadSGI () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 #11 0xb6aa3303 in glXMakeCurrent () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 what means it's a driver bug c) for any kind of further assistance we'd need at least to know your GPU/Driver configuration (you likely wish to upgrade Mesa or try "export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1" d) This should* happen only once, from now on kwin will likely know about your driver issue and do not attempt to activate compositing w/o further explicit actions. *but since it's not possible to precisely say where the crash occurs, this can't be said for sure. forgot to tag the bug... |
