a) set this to "true"
[Compositing]
...
CheckIsSafe=false -> CheckIsSafe=true
b) the "[Windows]" group is completely borked (but that's hardly the reason for this issue)
c) the relevant info would be "glxinfo" (don't post, but attach it!)
-> Does /any/ openGL application work for you (try glxgears)
The xrender backend ("kcmshell4 kwincompositing", third tab) should still work, though.
d) another relevant info would be the terminal out of "kwin --replace &"
e) Try to downgrade the driver *below* 270.x

So please specify "Can't enable or desktop freezed". Is the GUI really frozen (no updates? Can you still move the pointer? Switch to VT1 by ctrl+alt+f1?) or do you just think compositing is not active (eg. because the panel is not translucent) In the latter case, can you set a window to be translucent? (right click the titlebar, set an opacity below 100%) Also please run "kdebugdialog", filter for kwin and check the two kwin entries (2012 & 1735, the latter number is probably not not shown - "kwin4" is a game and the client errors are hardly related). Apply and then again start "kwin --replace &" please answer questions from comment #3. Please also note that in case of user support http://forum.kde.org is the better place than a technical issue tracking.

Can you still move the pointer? Yes I can, after frozen for a while, I can move. But when I logout and relogin, I can't enter the desktop environment. Switch to VT1 by ctrl+alt+f1? Don't works. or do you just think compositing is not active (eg. because the panel is not translucent) When I checked "Enable desktop effect" check box, and try to apply, no confirm window is poped, after about 10 seconds frozen, the "Enable desktop effect" check box remain unchecked. > In the latter case, can you set a window to be translucent?

Same problem on 7300 Go and 7400 Go, but it's regression in nVidia proprietary driver that present since 270.* (at least for me). In my opinion this is not KWin issue because it's not reproduced with nouveau and nVidia proprietary driver 173, 256, 260, 265. I suggest you switch to nouveau or nVidia driver 173 and contact with nVidia tech. support: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/ask (also it's will be nice if you publish ticket number here). Sorry, this somehow dropped from the table ;-)
Nvidia will likely ask you to provide a core dump and to further investigate this
from kwin, you'll also have to be able to "use the system while it's broken" so ideally you'd have ssh access to that machine but at least ensure this flag is in the server section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
........
Option "DontVTSwitch" "false"
.....
EndSection
If you still cannot switch to VT1, your kernel is stalled - big time trouble :-(
Also ensure that your driver "matches" your X11 version
ie. was not released ABI compatible for an older X11 (270 added support for 1.10) - the glxgears has an X11 IO error which -despite the claim it works- is not supposed to be there.
Whatever the issue was, it's a little outdated ;-) Issue was in proprietary driver. It was fixed around 304 driver release (one and half years later from first contact with tech. support about this issue). I'm sorry that I forgot about this bugreport and doesn't write about fix on nVidia side here :( |
