Description snusmoomrick 2018-09-10 10:06:31 UTC

I've installed a minimal Plasma 5 on my Archlinux system. Everything works fine, but when I try to change a wallpaper by clicking on corresponding menu item, Plasma crashes and then restarts. So, I'm unable to change my desktop settings.

When I start plasmashell with gdb and try to get desktop settings again, it fails with such output:

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2018-09-10 21:48:34 UTC

Crashing somewhere in Nouveau drivers.

(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1)
> Crashing somewhere in Nouveau drivers.

I see, that problem is in Nouveau driver. But in other cases (DE's and WM's) it works fine, and Xorg has no errors. Proprietary drivers don't work with my old video card and with last version of Xorg. Wayland also doesn't work properly. So, nouveau is the only working variant for me. And it's buggy only with Plasma desktop.
Ok, maybe it has the meaning to ask nouevau developers about this problem.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2018-09-11 02:18:06 UTC

It was just an observation; I didn't close the bug. :)

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2018-10-04 23:13:34 UTC

Crash is indeed in nouveau OpenGL drivers. Please report this issue directly to nouveau developers via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
