Oh, I forgot to mention: I'm on proprietary NVIDIA drivers (v352.30) using OpenGL 3.1 rendering backend (GLX). Also see https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=128544 The bug is somewhere likely between libplasma, qtquick and plasmashell - and the nvidia driver. Can you please attach the output of "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation"? PS, wild guess: is it an autohiding panel? No, I hate auto-hiding panels. ;-) Here's the qdbus output you requested: KWin Support Information: The following information should be used when requesting support on e.g. http://forum.kde.org. It provides information about the currently running instance, which options are used, what OpenGL driver and which effects are running.

you disable the second screen and/or stop + deactivate the kscreen daemon in "kcmshell5 kded"? b) I noticed that when suspending the compositor, the panel briefly "sets off", not sure whether shrinks and also re-grows or just shifts out of screen - does this happen for either of you? c) is the panel position relevant? a) Happens to me with one and two screens. b) I made a video how it looks on my system: https://vid.me/2D1I . I pressed Alt+Shift+F12 twice, starting with effects enabled. https://vid.me/2D1I c) Tried it in different positions, no difference. I noticed something else. It does not happen in the beginning. Directly after booting my system it works for a while but after using the system for a bit it always comes back. When it happened once it never goes back to normal again. A similar thing. After testing c) i noticed that directly after moving the panel it works for 2 - 3 switches. Every time i moved the panel. Hope that helps. Greetings I can confirm those observations. I can also confirm that it sometimes works after a fresh boot. Right now, for instance, I can't reproduce it, but I know that it'll come back as it has always come back since I'm using Plasma5. Another thing I noticed is a bug specifically with KeepassX2. This might be unrelated, but maybe it's not. When I turn off compositing I can't restore the minimized window from the system tray anymore. I only see a flicker where the window is supposed to be but that's it. This condition stays even when I turn compositing back on until I restart KeePassX2 (except for that I don't see the flicker anymore, instead I see nothing). Hmm. Forget the KeePassX2 thing. It's a bug with the program itself I guess. I just realized that the problem occurs when I re-minimize it using the tray icon instead of the window titlebar button. It happens with both compositing turned on and off. I just never clicked the tray icon to minimize the window under normal conditions. Btw. a workaround we figured on the forum is to resize the panel (and I assume restarting the plasmashell process should do as well)
Does either of you use triple buffering? ("grep -i triple /var/log/Xorg.0.log")
Yes, I'm using Triple Buffering to get rid of tearing issues. No triple buffering. ie. "insignificant". *sigh* The same problem here, works after restart then starts this after some time. $ qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation KWin Support Information: The following information should be used when requesting support on e.g. http://forum.kde.org.

This would seem like a mere conflict of/between QtQuick (and other "opengl apps" (which?)) on apparently the nvidia driver (w/o any relation towards redirection state changes) => Is this an optimus system (ie. a notebook with an intel IGP *and* an nvidia GPU)?

do you have

if not, what if you run:
kquitapp plasmashell # desktop gone
QSG_RENDER_LOOP=basic plasmashell & # desktop back

Do you maybe override swapcontrol in nvidia-settings (or by exporting __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0)
Did you configure the system for triple buffering ("grep -i triple /var/log/Xorg.0.log")?
One note. Ive noticed now that it is always the first time i start kodi (didnt checked other apps) that freezes the uncomposited desktop immediately (i have a rule to disable compositing for kodi and some apps) . If i close kodi, quit plasmshell and restart it and kodi bug isn't present any more, at least its not occurring instantaneously like with fresh start. > do you have > env | grep QSG_RENDER_LOOP nope > if not, what if you run: > kquitapp plasmashell # desktop gone > QSG_RENDER_LOOP=basic plasmashell & # desktop back > > in konsole? nothing changes i can still get that bug on first run > Do you maybe override swapcontrol in nvidia-settings (or by exporting > __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0) .nvidia-settings-rc -> https://paste.kde.org/phop9x2ij no i dont ( at least i dont think i did ).

I have this problem on three different systems with three completely different hardware configurations. All proprietary nvidia gpus tho. See comment #22 The problem is in plasmashell, though the bug will ultimately be in QtQuick and/or the nvidia driver. Apparently whenever some ("fullscreen"?) GL context (kodi, in that case) is closed, plasmashell/QtQuick stops updating (on nvidia, at least) unless it's redirected and until the QtQuick context is resized. It's for pretty sure not in KWin - suspending the compositor is just one way to close a gl context and unredirect all windows (by the nature of the feature) Hi there, i just installed KDE, QT 5.6 and the latest nvidia drivers and this bug is still present. I am having this problem as well as of the latest update from Opensuse repos. The main trouble for me is the task manager, which doesn't update with compositing off, making me have to guess where the app I want to interact with is if I need to. This has been going for a while and happens every time compositing is turned off. My video card is an Nvidia 750 ti. My CPU is AMD. Since 5.5 (or 5.6?) I also have the issue that not all windows are shown on the task manager when compositing is turned off (mostly those which were opened after turning it off) and the clock isn't updating. Everything seems to be in the state at which it was when disabling compositing for the first time. So enabling and disabling it again doesn't help. If my clock was at 3:45 when I turned it off, it stays at 3:45 until I turn compositing back on. And when I disable compositing a second time, it's again shows 3:45, even though it was, e.g., 5:32 when I re-enabled compositing temporarily. Using nvidia-358.16 on a GTX 650.

Panel freezes. Moving / resizing it resolves the issue for a while.
typo: Qt/Plasma 5.7 (In reply to Thomas Lübking from comment #27) Considering this post, it looks like the bug description is misleading or two different bugs are discussed here. Another "me too". https://paste.kde.org/ptwwwkems I think something dies in the background and the non-composited panel stops rendering. For instance, my current local time is 1:23PM but if I alt+shift+f12 I see 3:28PM, which is presumably yesterday, and presumably when it got suck as I've watched it for an hour or so and it hasn't moved from 3:28PM. I'm running 3 displays on 2x GTX 580s in SLI (Propreitary drivers) Resizing it caused an immediate update here as well. *** Bug 359661 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I am encountering the same bug, with Debian unstable on x64, using proprietary nvidia drivers, so this is still not fixed. It is triggered by any full-screen app, which I guess turns off compositing. Quite an annoing bug, not good that something like this stays around for more than 12 months over several releases. A permanent fix would be much appreciated. This still happens in 5.8.0 and is super annoying. Now I don't know if this is a bug specifically in Chrome or indeed a general NVIDIA issue, but when I started an application that disables compositing, not only the Plasma panels showed this bug, but also the Chrome UI froze until I minimized and restored the window. Anyhow, this bug is a super show stopper and deserves a fix. Any more insight on what exactly may be causing it? Yes, this bug is still present with 5.8 but no one seems to care. Confirm that the bug is still present in 5.8. You can prevent it by turning off compositing completely, so the bug title is actually wrong. I also noticed that the bug goes away temporarily if I switch composting from GL 2.0 to 3.1 and vice versa.

I disable compositing automatically for Mplayer, so when I'm watching videos, my clock displays a time in the past (the first time the compositer went off, I think), the system tray icons don't correspond to the actual icons (you click one and trigger the other), the taskbar is wrong, etc...

This workstation runs OpenGL code for visualizing data, and after a while I see this bug kicking in. What's most annoying is that it can show up even a few hours after a fresh reboot. One thing that I've noticed is that it seems to be loosely correlated with the use of the X11vnc server. Another possible suspect could be the VirtualBox driver, but, again, loose correlation here. I've checked the .xsession-errors log, but there isn't anything related to the issue (just the usual 220Mb of Kmix errors) Given the two years anniversary around the corner, it would be nice to see some good news. *** Bug 383810 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 371219 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 108776 [details]

Make sure Systemsettings > Display & Monitor > Compositor > "Allow Applications to block compositing" is checked. (This is not absolutely necessary but it makes the bug appear faster on my system.)
Make sure compositing is actually active (You have shadows under your plasma panel)

Extract the game and change into the folder
Start the game with "Wishcraft.sh" (Now this is the tricky part. It does not happen all the time, but if you start the game multiple times, sooner or later my panel freezes in "non compositing" mode. I have to restart kwin then to get it back to work until it freezes again)

For this bug to occur you can use any opengl app. Blender will be enough to trigger it. Turn off composigint (via ctrl+alt+f12 or using "Allow Applications to block compositing" option ) and after few minutes panel stop redrawing. *** Bug 363647 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Same issue on 5.11.5 with nvidia drivers. Is a fix in the works? No, we didn't find a developer yet who understands the cause for this issue and is able to propse a patch. It is not clear if the bug is in kwin, the plasmashell, or anywhere in graphics subsystem. I recently stopped using kwin for my window manager in favor of i3wm and compton for compositing. I am no longer able to reproduce this bug, even if compton is not running.
Since the nvidia driver and plasmashell remain the same, this lends some support to the problem being kwin related.

Well, i just noticed that panels/plasma keeps updating again by just restarting kwin, even with compositing disabled. I mean, kwin restarts without compositing. Just wanted to add that it seems to be still present in 5.12.0. Let me know if there is anything else needed to help debug. Not sure if I have done anything but it seems to be gone for me with plasma 5.12 on the 384 latest drivers and a 1060. Will let you know if it comes back. This problem isn't solved by using the "Allow applications to block compositing" for me. For me the panel will freeze when launching Unity 3D "games", or other games. Also after closing the game the font turns blurry. For my work this is debilitating. I cannot restart every single time I want to run this software which I need for work. The only thing that works for me is using XRender instead of OpenGL. I am using the Nvidia driver 390. This really sucks because it also disables all the nice visual effects. Yes indeed sorry it has since some back... Hi ! I get a random issue that seems related. Sometimes, (it occurs quite regularly, like once every few days) the panel "freezes". Well, not really, as it remains clickable, but it is not updated "visually" anymore. I can still raise / lower windows, switch desktops... but the panel doesn't reflect what I do. Disabling / re-enabling desktop effects makes no difference. I didn't think of restarting KWin. I will, next time. I remember that several minutes earlier, I started Steam and got a notification according to which desktop effects had to be reinitialized. It didn't seem to have any consequence, but that might be related. Then I pinned some apps to my panel, and this is when it occurred. Apps running : Thunderbird, Firefox, Steam. Also, I'm using NVIDIA drivers 390.x (but it occurred before) and Plasma 5.12.1 (KDE Neon). I don't know how to make it reproducible. But it's quite frequent. BTW, as you people all seem to encounter it when using NVIDIA proprietary drivers + some openGL apps that suspend compositing automatically, can you tell what specific tweak you applied ? Here I force the composition pipeline (otherwise my desktop animations are too jerky) but I'm pretty sure it also occurred when using "export __GL_YIELD=USLEEP" I believe I have enabled "export __GL_YIELD=USLEEP" and I still get it. More often than not, using Steam cause kwin to perform a "graphics reset". Plasma doesn't get that and tries to render to the old addresses. You can monitor the kwin output and react to the reset, with a: kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell /Allan Since this bug breaks basic desktop functionality, many hours daily for some users and there is not solution in sight. Is there a way to add a dirty fix for NVIDIA users? Instead of just disabling compositor run: disable compositor kwin_x11 --replace disable compositor How could we add this our self so it is automated? So this is a corner case with nvidia i suppose? I haven't head this issue in a while even though i still have the same hardware as when i reported this issue (under a different bug). I have to admit though, that was at a time when i played a steam game almost daily, something that hasn't happened since. But i'm curious. Nvidia was once the card you should have for linux. Any desktop would work best on that. Then it was Intel which was - till a few years ago - putting out driver updates fairly regularly. AMD was always a big no-go due to it's massive unstable behavior and always lacking behind in kernel support. Where are we now? Which GPU is recommended? As i get from the comments that nvidia is apparently not recommended anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if "AMD" would be the answer now. As they have become really good (in terms of open source drivers). *** Bug 354492 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to Mark from comment #73) > Where are we now?

Oh absolutely, if I get get asked which ditro someone should try, my first question is what GPU they use because I just cant recommend Plasma in combination with an NVIDIA GPU. Not just the panel breaking, but also the generally poor desktop performance. If I resize a windows quickly I can get the desktop FPS down to 20FPS with a 970 GTX, where an old iGPU runs smoothly at 60fps.

Mine still is a GTX 670. But is that perormance issue really an issue of KWin or just Qt (QML more specifically)? I managed to fix my issue. I have an Nvidia 1070 and the latest Nvidia drivers.
If you run into this issue follow these steps and report back.
Scale Method : Smooth
Rendering backend : OpenGL 3.1
Tearing prevention("vsync") : Full screen repaints
Keep window thumbnails : Only for Shown Windows
Experimental :
Enable color correction : false(unchecked)
Allow applications to block compositing : false(unchecked)
The key is really not allowing applications to block compositing for me. After I stop letting applications to disable it, after it reverting when the application was closed never gave me any issues. I think compositing isn't re-starting properly after an application disables it.
Just to add my tuppence worth. I also had this problem where the panel stops rendering ie appears frozen, but remains clickable along with widgets such as the simple monitor also not rendering. In my case I was also using the Docky launchpad application. Interestingly Docky remained working after the panel had frozen. However after removing Docky the panel is now working reliably which is great because I don't really need Docky. It does sound like any 3rd part app that requires compositing causes an issue in Plasma rendering. I don't have any third party apps (or widgets even), and I get this issue on both my Laptop and Desktop, so I would doubt they are the issue. And, yes, the panel stops rendering but remains "clickable", although the text/position of things gets pretty far off as its not repainting. Panel rendering freeze still happens in Plasma 5.12.3 (KDE Neon). I'd been running KDE Neon for probably 6 hours (laptop), I was only using Chrome, Gimp, Kmail, Dolphin, no games or apps that require compositing as far as I'm aware. On the desktop I'm using the 'simple monitor widget'. I noticed the seconds on the clock on the panel had froze, panel was still clickable ie you could close apps but the rendering then no longer matches what actaully running. The simple monitor also freezes. To restart rendering I switch panel to autohide or alternatively CNTRL_ALT-F1 followed by CNTRL-ALT-F7 restarts the panel & widget rendering. Test Just had the panel rendering freeze again, was using with kmail at the time, so did a bit of detective work. As I had enabled seconds on the panel clock it gives me a time to look for in the logs. So the panel froze at 00:13:35. Looking at /var/log/syslog, the following entry exists at 00:13:33 that's relevant to the GPU. There was nothing else around that time that was unusual. Sorry post this in sections as bugs.kde.org seems to think my post contains spam ! ;-/ I can't post the actual error bugs.kde.org keeps telling me its spam ! Anyway ...

This URL explains the error I'm getting http://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/xid-errors/index.html#topic_5_2 This error is inserted into /var/log/syslog by the Nvidia driver and indicates an error. If I've understood this correctly, this is XID error 31. So I looked up the NVidia documentation which states: XID 31: Fifo: MMU Error This event is logged when a fault is reported by the MMU, such as when an illegal address access is made by an applicable unit on the chip Typically these are application-level bugs, but can also be driver bugs or hardware bugs. When this event is logged, NVIDIA recommends the following: Run the application in cuda-gdb or cuda-memcheck , or Run the application with CUDA_DEVICE_WAITS_ON_EXCEPTION=1 and then attach later with cuda-gdb, or File a bug if the previous two come back inconclusive to eliminate potential NVIDIA driver or hardware bug. Note: The cuda-memcheck tool instruments the running application and reports which line of code performed the illegal read. The cuda-memcheck tool sounds like it might be very useful for tracking down this bug. Has anybody tried running cuda-memcheck with plasma ? Is it even possible ? I don't think this is just an NVIDIA issue. The log messages from their driver are useful, but I've been experiencing this exact bug with Intel graphics for years. The system I've encountered it on is a late 3013 MacBook Pro (the 13" one with Intel-only graphics). Apologies for the typo - I don't really own a laptop from the future. Although if I did, I imagine sourcing drivers for it might be a little tricky ;-). 'Late 3013' in my previous message should actually read 'late 2013'.

I agree, I'm hoping that somebody that knows this code could work on it if we can find a 100% reliable way of triggering the bug so at least it's easier to track it down. Although I code mainly in C and a tiny amount in C++ I'm tempted to start delving into this. KDE & Plasma is a great platform but it needs to be stable. My windows colleagues would laugh if I told them I had to CNTRL-F1 & CNTRL-F7 periodically because the panel & desktop rendering had frozen !

I sure hope this bug has been fixed by 3013 :-D, not to mention Wayland working with Nvidia hardware ! KWin forgot to inform Plasma about new render memory location, Plasma renders to a bad location and NVidia MMU says Xid 31. Triggered easily with Steam. Restarting plasma causes correct rendering again: kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell >KWin forgot to inform Plasma about new render memory location, Plasma renders to a bad location and NVidia MMU says Xid 31.
That doesn't sound right at all.
What makes you say it's that?
The complete process goes: Steam (or others) triggers KWin to reset graphics subsystem -> Plasma is now rendering to a bad address -> NVidia throw Xid 31. Speculation that fit all the facts. :) Just wanted to clarify that the problem is not random an easy to reproduce, it happens every day to me if I have steam running and launch CS:GO. >Speculation that fit all the facts. :)
Not really. Kwin doesn't allocate memory for plasma to render into. We're on GLX here.
Can someone paste the error they have in pastebin that mentions XID error 31.
Sure I'm travelling at the moment but I'll send it in about 4 hours I think XID error 31 is unrelated to this bug. I get xid error only when launching steam, then kwin restarts with "Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset" notification. I made a video with panel bug where I didn't get any xid errors: https://streamable.com/3czun Also, someone stated that this bug occur with intel gpu, so it has to be problem either with kwin or plasmashell. My desktop effects just reset and the compositing has switched to XRender instead of returning to OpenGL 3.1. I don't know if it is a separate bug or is still related to this. Anyway the plasma panel doesn't update anymore (either by enabling or disabling compositing with the shortcut).

Backtrace of plasmashell
Attached plasmashell backtrace, captured while the panel was frozen, the only programs I was running at the time were kmail, dolphin, filezilla, chrome, kate, okular and system activity monitor. Is there any other processes I should be getting a backtrace or other data on ?
Just out of curiosity, if anybody has a working knowledge of ThreadWeaver what's going on here and is this bad?. It looks bad to me but then I know diddly squat about thread programming. This is one of the plasmashell backtrace threads captured during a plasma panel freeze. For all the other associated threads see the attachment.

No.
It shows an krunner thread is sittling idling.
Plasma isn't frozen, if you run with gammaray attached whilst the panel is froze the panel in gammaray's view is updated fine.
Thanks, I've killed plasmashell & restarted using the command gammaray plasmashell but I can't see any view ? Am I starting it correctly ? I've had a quick look online but can't find any info on starting a view. I've seen some of the gammaray docs that show more options in the left hand column like quick scenes, state machines which I seem to be missing. Are there KDE docs that describe using gammaray, or am I going to have to read the manual & figure it out. It's the same with me. Once the problem starts, the desktop effects are lost, the time is frozen, the taskbar icons are ghosts and many times I can't shut down the system from the "start" button, as another process breaks down, having to shut down the system from the terminal. But the problem does not end there.... now the computer does not shut down because there is a process that does not close -A start job is running... -. I have to wait 90 seconds for it to finish closing, and when the PC is finally turned off, it starts again automatically. When that happens, the computer turns on correctly, but whenever I turn it off, it starts automatically. It reminds me a lot of a problem I had with the wake on lan, that whenever I activated it, the computer would only turn on when I turned it off. The only way to get it to shut down again is to force the button to shut it down. *** Bug 393175 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Something I noticed last night: when the panel gets stuck like this even after exiting the OpenGL/Vulkan application/game, switching to a virtual terminal and then back to X restores the panel to working again.

That's the trick I use too. :-) Interestingly that trick does not work when plasma hangs when you move (cut & paste) a large number of files using Dolphin. Plasma stays frozen until the freeze ends, the time period of the froze being depending on the number of files moved. Try moving 1000 files and see how long plasma freezes for.. Speak of the devil, just glanced at the clock and the seconds (along with hours/minutes and the rest of the desktop is frozen. Froze an hour and ten minutes ago (uptime 2:18) and all I've been using is kmail, Dolphin & Chrome with 8 tabs open. And of course CNTRL-ALT-F1 followed by CNTRL-ALT-F7 starts it working again. *** Bug 394146 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Having the same issue on an NVIDIA + Ryzen Desktop build...

Today happened again, with no game opened, just DaVinci resolve and chromium browser. Yeah, I have seen it now on my desktop atleast twice recently where it happened outside of full screen games. I'll be a happy camper when this bug gets fixed, I can tell you. I've just realised the plasma panel clock has froze at 17:13 and it's now 18:26, I should have left work 45 minutes ago ! Again no full screen games just chrome, dolphin and kmail and libreoffice. I've got nothing to prove this but it feels like it's whenever I'm using Dolphin or kmail this thing kicks off. Certainly if I leave the computer running without those programs running I've never seen the panel freeze. The more I'm playing with kmail & Dolphin the more this is likely to happen. So it happened to me last night again with only Chrome open. Seemed to kick in when I opened up roll20, so I would guess whatever graphics api they are using (maybe webGl or something?) can trigger the bug without fullscreen. *** Bug 394445 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 356035 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 394950 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** May be fixed my new nvidia driver (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-390.67-Linux-Released) > Fixed a bug that caused kwin OpenGL compositing to crash when launching certain OpenGL applications see comment 84, it is present even with intel drivers.

In my experience (many different machines over the years), it never occurred on Intel or AMD hardware but did occur several times a day with Nvidia GPUs. I'm sorry that's not very helpful, but there is definitely something making the issue more prominent with Nvidia drivers.

So to recover from a plasma freeze which may happen once or twice a day depending on what I'm doing, I just CNTRL-ALT-F1 to bring up the full screen terminal and then CNTRL-ALT-F7 to return to the GUI. I then find the plasmashell is now working again. Alternatively enable auto-hide on the task bar. (Click the three bar menu on the extreme right of the task bar, click on 'more settings' then click auto hide in the visibility section'. If there is not a three bar menu on the extreme right of the task bar, click right on background of the desktop and make sure there is a menu entry that says 'lock widgets', if it says 'unlock widgets' then click it. The three bar menu will appear. Autohide seems to have the same affect as CNTRL-ALT-F1 & CNTRL-ALT-F7. The taskbar also seems to freeze for me when I'm using Dolphin more than any other program. Thanks Nick. Switching between the full screen terminal and the DE fixes the problem. Thanks Nick. Switching between the full screen terminal and the DE fixes the problem. Still affects me, and always has. Maybe I'll give this a try on my machine with amdgpu to see if it happens just to see if it is an nvidia only thing and report back. Arch Linux nvidia 396.24-1 kernel 4.16.9-1-ARCH 1080ti For me, the taskbar does not update at all when in non-composited mode. When I switch back to composited with Alt+shift+F12, it works. I like to use non-composited when gaming because I am sure the compositing is not interfering, and I get less stuttering and weird behavior when I alt-tab during a game. The ability to do this is why I like Plasma. Same here, with the compositor disabled the task manager never updates correctly. I'm using an nvidia quadro card. I believe the new Nvidia drivers fixed the issue. Please confirm you have the newest drivers, or if you get this bug and end up here try them and report back. (In reply to Ryein Goddard from comment #130) > I believe the new Nvidia drivers fixed the issue. I cannot confirm this observation. Still an issue with the newest driver. The plasma freezing on compositing enable/disable is definitely NOT fixed with the (currently latest) 390.67 nvidia drivers (GeForce 1050). It might have fixed a frequent kwin freeze though. *** Bug 395971 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 394583 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Coming here from (it was duped by someone) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394583 For me at least, the task bar freezing is gone when I disable the compositor.

Panel was > frozen as always. Hmm, I encounter the same phenomenon, but is the panel restored when the game is exited and compositing resumed ? Here the panel is often frozen when compo is disabled but it used to ALSO remain frozen when compo is re-enabled ; didn't witness it so far. Actually, yes, the panel appears to be only broken now when the vulkan/opengl app is running, the panel seems to go back to normal when things are exited. I guess thats... something. For me the panel always has worked well after the openGL app exited. @Alex : actually, in the past, the panel would sometimes remain stuck even after resuming compositing on my machine, so that's a significant yet partial improvement (as one doesn't have to kill plasmashell anymore). The current situation is "only" annoying if you alt-tab away from games... @Mahendra Tallur Exactly. Although I would also say that I have triggered this just in Chrome and not full screen (on roll20), so it still can be a bit more annoying that just alt-tabbing from full screen games. *** Bug 397552 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 400176 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** KUBUNTU 18.10 - nouveau driver OK, nvidia - dead stick @https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395781 as guru said NVIDIA _I_ U DISPERSE ALL bug isnt related to KDE or even kernel Created attachment 116933 [details] przejebane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AJm4mlylzw&feature=youtu.be Pure installation new kubuntu 18.10 sleep mode using nouveau driver gives normal behaviour. Change to nvidia 390, or go back to nouveau keeps bug alive ---- but has been a litle fixed since >2 last years since drawing is more close than before I spent some time today on this, I wrote an app to block compositing every few seconds. I also tried to reproduce the panel in a separate app of rendering multiple QQuickViews and adding the same shadows/blur that panel does. I have some relevant notes: - It doesn't break consistently - When it does break, toggling compositing back on and then off again will always give you the first broken frame (i.e if I toggle every 10 seconds, if I have a stuck frame with the clock saying 12:00:00 when it breaks and I toggle compositing back on it'll resume 12:00:10, 12:00:11, blah blah, when it toggles off again it goes back to showing 12:00:00) - Even if the app is frozen you still get that broken frame when you toggle compositing, so it's a breakage once, not a breakage each toggle event. I also built libxcb with this. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/commit/?id=bbda345a718ff73086437e51f03fcbb73e4365b9 The description vaguely matches a setup behaviour that we see in Plasma. We have nvidia-glx rendering one thread, whilst our panel is making a tonne of X calls directly to adjust the panel shadow. The commit is trying to fix a crash, but a missed reply could have other consequences. print statements showed we end up in the "fix" code a lot. So far I haven't reproduced afterwards. I recently switched from an AMD GPU to an nvidia GPU. I think I might have a useful observation. When my panel freezes, it turns more of a dark black, as apposed to the default breeze look. This same thing -- at least cosmetically -- happened on my AMD card before I switched. However, with the AMD card it would within a few seconds correct itself. I suspect if the cause of this graphical glitch can be found and fixed for mesa, it would also take care of the issue for nvidia cards which recover less gracefully. I think it's also worth noting, you can kill plasmashell and restart it to fix this issue. The issue only occurs during the transition from composited to non-composited.

Setting the compositor to XRender instead of OpenGL does seem to fix this issue for me, I've been well over a week without seeing this issue. Is that an NVIDIA driver issue?
