I confirm @arne anka's findings on my install. Debian unstable, Fully upgraded. Kernel: 4.8.11-towo.3-siduction-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.8.4 @thflorek: do you have an SSD? I am trying to figure out if this is related to that hardware change I can confirm this issue. I have two machines at the same patch level, one Radeon, one Intel video.

When the freeze happens, change to a tty (v.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) and then go back to the graphic session (v.g. Alt+F7) and everything will work normal, at least for a while. Then repeat the process.

How much time do you wait when that event happens to your machine? >Did you use some special command to get the software info you posted? No, it's just some info extracted from .xsession-errors I wait no longer than about two minutes, then my patience expires. Afterwards I change runlevels via terminal and login again, sometimes not only once. You do not need to relogin. Alt-F2 brings up krunner. Run "pkill -f plasmashell" Alt-F2 again: Run "plasmashell" Repeat as needed. Sometimes is works for a few hours, others a few minutes. Many thanks for your hints, Syd. Let us hope, that this nasty bug will soon be fixed. Many thanks for your hints, Syd. Let us hope, that this nasty bug will soon be fixed. (In reply to thflorek from comment #10) > Many thanks for your hints, Syd. > Let us hope, that this nasty bug will soon be fixed. You are welcome, I am sure it will be soon. The system I am having the issue with has a readeon graphics card, at work. My home system is an Interl and is not having the issue. I back reved the xorg driver but that was late on Friday. I'll report more on Monday. If you are also radeon, go back the the previous driver and see what happens. Might be sooner than I can report.

into my xorg.conf (need a custom one anyway), today for the first time in weeks I did not experience those freezes.
not sure, how much KDE the issue is -- I see this with plasmashell and chromium (though that could be a consequence of plasmashell issues).
Not much we can do about it. We have to wait to communicate with the Xorg drivers, and we have to except them to work. Thanks for doing the investigation. There is hope now: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%23847025#25 [quote]xorg-server (2:1.19.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium ... * Cherry-pick upstream commit d6da2086951, Revert "damage: Make damageRegionProcessPending take a damage not a drawable".

Closes: #847025, #848321. -- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort <pochu@debian.org> Fri, 16 Dec 2016 19:39:45 +0100[/quote] Greetings Tom Unfortunately annoying bug did not disappear. Subscribe... still freezes on 1.19.0-3. Debian Stretch with HD Graphics 520 (Latitude 7270). Please change status since this bug seems not to be resolved with xserver-xorg-core_1.19.0-3_amd64.deb and xserver-common_1.19.0-3_all.deb. Who said that it is fixed? Has it actually been reported to xorg developers yet? Comment #18 just mentions a crash fix, which is unrelated to a freeze. *** Bug 373697 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Has this actually been resolved upstream? I'm running xserver-common version 1.19.0-3 (Debian unstable) and I'm still affected by this. If I force the use of DRI3 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (I'm using the radeon driver), the problem goes way. However, this causes another, worse problem: when I resize the window of a GTK application, my plasma desktop goes crazy with all sorts of artifacts, windows flashing, etc. When this happens, I can switch to the other virtual desktops using the Pager applet, but I cannot go back to the virtual desktop containing the resized GTK application.

Video sequence that demonstrates this bug
After doing some research with the intention to find a way to reproduce this bug I'm not anymore convinced that this is not a KDE bug.
(1) plasmashell crashes on KDE window operations like closing a window, but only if there is activity in the system tray. I could not crash plasmashell reproducible when there was no activity in the system tray, also it DOES crash randomly without an obvious reason (but maybe it's still related to system tray activity, because there are often things like notification popups). I've attached a short video sequence to demonstrate the bug. Have a look at the file transfer indicator in the second part of the video - it stops when plasmashell crashed.
(2) Nothing like this happens when closing a GTK window or when using Cinnamon as desktop manager

Rolan's GDB trace
Copying and pasting the result of a private email thread with Roland.
He had exact the same backtrace as Stefan in 373697
(attached anwyay)
and enforcing DRI3 did resolve the issue. Despite using an Intel driver not an ATI one.
Enforcing DRI3 indeed solves the issue, but it generates recurring artifacts where parts of the screen seem to flicker until they're repainted. SO it's a workaround at best, but not a solution. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 373427 *** Created attachment 103685 [details]
xorg file
Hi, fresh install of Stretch RC1 x64 on Vostro 1700 with Nvidia G84M [GeForce 8600M GT] using nouveau drivers. Plasmashell freezing every few minutes, but like others , I was able to use krunner to kill and restart plasmashell. What I did (pure luck, i'm noob here) was, restarted into single mode (killing sddm from other session Ctrl+Alt+F1 didnt work, as sddm restarted right away for some reason) I ran 'X -configure' to generate xorg.conf file, as there was none in /etc/X11/ and copied it to this directory. Restarted laptop, and running for second day without hickup. I'll try to attach my xorg.conf, so developers might find the cause, or a fix. if you need more information, please tell me HOW to do it, as I said I am noob. @ Kestutis: As you can read above, this one is a dup of bug 373427 and as you can read there, it was fixed with xorg-x11-server-1.19.1 ;) Hello, now in Debian testing (buster) I have same error. |
