I am seeing the same bug of random freezes which require a complete reboot. It seems that this bug is troubling many other users, too. At the moment Plasma 5 is not at all usable and it should not be labeled "stable release". Don't get me wrong, I love KDE and I appreciate the hard work that goes into its development, but that this bug is still being ignored after months of hundreds of bug reports by many different users is very concerning. I wished KDE developers would go back to making KDE stable first before adding shiny features that are nice gimmicks but do not really add value. I expect these types of errors only in factory versions, but once a package is deemed to be a "stable release", i.e. supposedly making it "production-system ready", severe bugs that take down the whole system about 20 times a day should really not longer exist. For me: Reproducibility: ALWAYS Easiest ways to reproduce: No. 1: Lock screen, get a coffee, and once you are back, you cannot longer log in. Locking the screen and immediately logging in again seems to work, though. The key is leaving the system "dormant" for a few minutes. No. 2: You do not even have to lock the screen. Just do nothing for a few minutes and the system freezes up. Maybe it has something to do with some power saving settings? The problem in question seems to be related to kwin, however, deactivating composition or using other backends does not solve the problem in my case. Version Summary: Plasma 5 Version 5.5.5 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.19.0 Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1) The xcb windowing system Breeze decorations Should be relabeled "Factory", because it is not usable. Major versions should only be advanced once fundamental bugs are sorted out. KDE 5.5 suggests a mature version, but this bug is haunting KDE since 5.0. Please note, as of Xlog the X server is not crashing! It really is some combination of sddm and KDE/kwin. Hardware: NVIDIA 980Ti, newest proprietary driver -- NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28 (sorry, but nouveau does not cut it in my line of work). TTY1, for instance, works and running DISPLAY=:0 kwin_x11 --replace unfreezes until the next freeze. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 342763 *** |
