Description Marcus Better 2008-06-02 10:01:06 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have a laptop with dual-monitor setup using xrandr. When activating the second monitor, kwin terminates with an assertion failure:

~$ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024
~$ ASSERT failure in QVector<T>::operator[]: "index out of range", file /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qvector.h, line 331

This is a Thinkpad running Linux 2.6.25 (x86_64), KDE 4.0.80 (Debian experimental). The xrandr config is:

~$ xrandr

Comment 1 Lubos Lunak 2008-06-02 11:51:34 UTC
Could you please provide the backtrace from the crash caused by the assert?
Comment 2 Marcus Better 2008-06-02 13:44:45 UTC
> Could you please provide the backtrace from the crash caused by the assert?


Can you provide some hints on how to do it with the Debian packages? I have 
all the -dbg packages installed, and tried running kwin under gdb. But after 
the assertion failure, "bt" gave no results. I think the process terminates 
normally from the system's point of view.

I could try a breakpoint somewhere but operator[] does not seem like a good 
candidate.
Comment 3 David Nolden 2008-06-02 14:01:04 UTC
You probably need the debug package for Qt installed, then start "gdb kwin", and type "break qt_assert_x" and "break qt_assert" into the prompt before you type "run" to start the program.

Then gdb will break as soon as it hits an assertion, and you can get the backtrace by typing "bt" into the prompt.

Great, got it:

a backtrace of a kwin's crash

I'm not sure it is exactly the same bug but I have a similar crash when running
"xrandr --output TMDS-1 --right-of LVDS". My xrandr output is

The attachment shows the backtrace of the crash. The problem is that it doesn't
show the exact line doing the faulting call, it seems.

Same thing here, this is really a nasty one except that kwin graciously restarts itself automatically :)

xrandr output is:

My Backtrace differs a bit (and has no Qt debug symbols, because I removed the .debug files as it takes far to long here to load that stuff all the time)

seems like I have this bug too when I use nvidia-settings and want to use a second monitor using twinview, I get often a crash. Sometimes it works after several tries.

here is the backtrace

Comment 11 Marcus Better 2008-09-09 09:45:02 UTC
I'm now running Debian KDE 4.1.1 and the original assertion failure is gone, but I now consistently get the crash in comment #6. I assume the above fix should already be in, so reopening.
Comment 12 Marcus Better 2008-09-09 09:46:44 UTC
Created attachment 27331 [details]
stack trace of new crash

Similar to the trace in comment #6, uploading it just to be sure.
Comment 13 Robert Knight 2008-10-13 11:52:55 UTC
Created attachment 27848 [details]
Quick-fix patch I used to fix this crash on my system

The problem is that clientArea() is being called with the new screen/desktop indexes earlier in updateClientArea() through the call to adjustedClientArea() before the screenareas array is resized at the end of the updateClientArea() method.  

This patch is a simple work-around which just uses QDesktopWidget::screenGeometry() if the screenareas array hasn't been updated when clientArea() is called.
Comment 14 Pavel Benisek 2008-11-05 14:14:05 UTC
I use Kubuntu packages KDE 4.1.2 and ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 with proprietary drivers. I am experiencing the same problems using KRandRTray or xrandr.

Comment 17 Frank Aune 2008-11-10 15:43:26 UTC
I can confirm this bug still exist in KDE 4.1.3 on Kubuntu 8.10 using two monitors.

Hardware: 
- IBM T42 Laptop in a docking station with ATI 9600, using HAL for detecting X.Org setup. Proprietary fglrx driver is _not_ installed, so its the open-source ati (radeon or radeonhd) being used.
- Two NEC MultiSync 2070NX connected through VGA-0 and DVI-0

I've also tried the workaround provided above by Robert Knight, but it does not solve the problem for me. Please let me know if a backtrace is desired, however I'm hoping what others have provided will suffice in revealing where the problem is.
