This maybe related: I run KWin with KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1. *** Bug 300722 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** CompositingPrefs (ie. all OpenGL testing) was dropped from the kcm for 4.9 crash was in fglrx dri code, so yes: KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 *is related* Um, how can I fix this behaviour? Unfortunately, I don't know what does KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 mean That is an environment variable forcing the usage of direct rendering (which was denied for fglrx for being far too crashy in the past) - iff you experience *precisely* this crash (with the same backtrace!) you only have to not export it, direct rendering should be disabled automatically then. If it still crashes, try exporting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 instead (such can be done eg. by scripts in /etc/profile or ~/.kde/env - KWIN_DIRECT_GL is stronger than LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT so if it shows up with "env | grep KWIN_DIRECT_GL" and you don't find where it's set, you'd have to explicitly disable it by exporting KWIN_DIRECT_GL=0 later on) Thank you, LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 did the trick. Now Desktop Effects settings are opening well. Also, videos now run smoothly. |
