Compositing is not activated in _failsafe_ mode by purpose, so this is no bug at all. The session type "failsafe" is probably pre-selected at KDM (the login screen) either by yourself or due to repeating crashes on login attempts, which may even likely caused by the compositor and broken X11 drivers (a client should not be able to crash the X11 server _ever_, therefore this is no KDE bug either), possibly because nouveau was in use before. I don't know much about the failsafe session handling, how hard it is to detect or revert, so i just move the bug over to kdm, making it a "warn about failsafe modes" wish. upstream kdm has no magic to automatically activate the failsafe session. whether it actually is selected can be verified by running "echo $DESKTOP_SESSION" in a shell. other than that, the lack of session choice visibility is a long-standing problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 74500 *** |
