It looks like the fbdev platform does not create any screens.

Please check whether FramebufferBackend::queryScreenInfo() queries the proper m_resolution.

please also note that using fbdev platform plugin on such a device will not result in a pleasant experience. It means no OpenGL ES at all for any application.

This same issue also affects drm

If the same also happens on drm platform than you have an issue with the hardware you try to integrate with.

What I find suspicious is, this error popped up even when we tried to
run kwin in --virtual mode, where literally there is no hardware
requirement I believe.

While it might not be obvious from the debug output: the problem here is not KWin failing, it's XWayland failing. XWayland gives up because "there are no screens" and without XWayland KWin gives up.

So the question is why does XWayland think there are no screens. Possibilities are a "strange" XWayland version (too old, too new, custom patches).

actually after reading through the messages again I think the problem is somewhere completely different: kwin is not compiled with the breeze dependency.

Due to that Aurorae is used which pulls in QtQuick. And that might be failing and asserting KWin.

So best try with breeze dependency.

Bhushan, did comment #9 help to resolve the issue?

If you can provide the information requested in comment #10, please add it.

To further investigate this issue, KDE developers need the information requested in comment #10. If you can provide it, or need help with finding that information, please add a comment.

I'll close this bug as downstream bug, since later in Dec 2017-ish we learned that Alpine is building qtdeclarative without JIT enabled (since it provides only armv6 packages), and that resulted in instant crash in anything which uses QML, after fixing the qtdeclarative Plasma Mobile and kwin worked on the device(s)
