I am experiencing similar problems on Fedora 23. I am currently running plasma 5.5.5 but the problem started with 5.5.4. At first everything seems to work fine. If the screen is switched off, moving the mouse or hitting the keyboard turns it back on and the shell is responsive. After some indeterminate amount of time, however, the shell will freeze after the screen is switched off. The system itself is not frozen; I can switch VTs, login and even start a new X session - it's just the original plasma session that is frozen. Killing the session and starting a new one does not help in that it will immediately freeze again as soon as the screen goes to sleep. The system must be restarted to "reset" things so that things work for at least a short period. As far as I can tell, the problem only occurs if "Screen Energy Saving" is enabled and the screen switches off. The "Dim Screen" setting makes no difference. I would just like to notify that I have not been able to reproduce this issue after updating to plasma 5.6.0/5.6.1 and mesa-git from roughly two weeks ago. Not sure which of the packages that fixed the issue, but I have not encountered it for two weeks now and it used to happen several times a day. I will leave the issue open for others to comment on in case this issue is not resolved for everyone. This crash is in your graphic driver and is really old. There is nothing we can do. Sorry. |
