i was trying different advanced kwin settings

driver bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 253703 *** Sorry, but I cannot resist: why do you think the tab is labeled "Advanced"? What do you think that means? Probably not that users are supposed to "play around". It means that only users knowing what they do should change the settings! Sigh, because of such reports we had to remove the option in 4.7.

I played with advanced settings :) is this a crime ? I think KDE (and linux in general) should be o robust piece of software. In view of this, the worst case scenario "advanced playing" should be the display stop working for, let's say, 10 secs (the timeout for no confirmation of video changes). The user shouldn't be able to trigger a SEGFAULT, in any robust software. It's not a crime to play with a loaded gun, but don't cry if you shoot yourself ;-) Aside this and quoting comment #2 "driver bug". So just get fixed drivers/mesa for your GPU then and or export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 (what will likely workaround this issue which is likely rather *not* restricted to the Texture Generation mode but to the recreation of the GL context) > The user shouldn't be able to trigger a SEGFAULT, in any robust software. No, that's right. Now show me robust software (Saturn V control code doesn't count - it's outdated ;-) What you expect can only be achieved by systems like Apple which are - developers - distributors - HW vendors (on a very limited HW set) ie., ship you the entire system. We cannot prevent sublying libs and/or drivers from having implementation issues (OpenGL calls /are/ -supposed to be- crash safe, ie. even /iff/ kwin did bogus shit, GL should throw an GL_ERROR and maybe paint ugly stuff, but /never/ cause a segfault) fallback mode is removed in master -> fixed |
