Description Ahmad Samir 2020-06-08 15:29:59 UTC
Logging in with the "plasma (wayland)" or "(full wayland)" now seems to actually work. Using systemsettings to change the DPI in the fonts KCM, or the font hinting style then clicking Apply, suddenly the whole desktop is a blank green/yellow screen:

- sometimes pressing Alt+Ctrl+F{1,6} changes the VT but sometimes that doesn't work
- sometimes Alt+Ctrl+Backspace twice in succession kills the session (I thought that was Xserver-specific)

and in both cases sometimes it's a hard lock up, the only way out is the reset button on the PC case (kernel magic keys are uneffective).

New crash information added by DrKonqi

plasmashell (5.19.4) using Qt 5.15.0

- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Changed font DPI settings in KCM and Plasma froze. Cannot unfreeze except by killing the session with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and relogging.

- System
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (20200801-0), Plasma (Wayland) desktop session. Intel UHD 620 with modesetting driver and OpenGL 3.1 compositor rendering background.
