Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Linux Distro: OpenSuse 11.1 KDE version 4.2.0 (latest update from OpenSuse-Servers: 21.02.09) Seems I have to report this as a new bug to get notified: Since the 4.2.0 edition of KDE I am following the daily updates from the OpenSuse server (as a daily complete package update (newer versions). Lots of things have improved so far! Great work!! But since 3 days, after the update (and continuing through the last updates I have an annoying bug, that each time leaves me with the single chance to completely restart the system, though the system itself seems not to be affected. This is how it goes: when starting certain programms (dolphin, konsole, various other), opening documents, sometimes when changing system settings, I get, ransomly but reproducably a completely black screen with nothing but a mouse pointer on it. This pointer may be moved and even changes its appearance, like residing on clickable buttons or window borders, but since nothing is displayed I can't produce reactions, nor are there any changes on the screen. All this leaves nothing but a complete restart, though the system itself seems unaffected by the crash an no crashreport is displayed. therefore I have nothing but this description of this odd behaviour... Please could someone help me with this, there are some programs nearly unusable, since I can't even start them without getting this crash ... Thanks Jay
Hello. I can confirm the problem. I compile from source and the problem appeared a few days ago indeed. A workaround is to trigger a kwin effect or to turn off/on compositing with alt+shift+F12 for instance.
Note that i use a Radeon HD 4850 with the binary driver.
just for the record: my system is a dell inspiron 9200, the graphics is running on a radeon mobile 7500, described in the KDS sysinfo applet as: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL Driver is: 1.3 Mesa 7.2 from the DRI R300 Project I am currently using the "no compositing"-workaround but that should no be a solution for all time ....
Same problem here. openSUSE 11.1 x64 trunk compiled from source NVIDIA 9600M GT (with 180.12 driver I think) Compositing/Desktop effects enabled What helps for me is to switch to another vty and kill kwin. When I switch back to the desktop-vty the black screen has vanished although I don't have a window manager anymore ^^ -- so I have to start a new one from a vty and everythings working again (including desktop effects)
I can also confirm this, but only on one of three systems. But i think it is more a openSuSE-buildservice-problem, please add your report there too. The system is a 1400er Celeron, the two systems without the problem are 64bit-AMD, one Desktop and one Laptop. I have made a complete reinstall of the system, before that i got the black screen, after the installation the system crash everytime, when try to open a new window. Last entry in .xsession-errors is: kwin: X Error (error: <unknown>[DAMAGE+0], request: XDamageDestroy[DAMAGE+2], resource: 0x180010f) I tried out two Nvidia (GF6200 and GF6600GT) and ATI Radeon 8500, but nothing helps. Nvidia driver is 180.29, ATI is the opensource-driver, installed with openSuSe 11.1.
What I forgot to mention was that I'm using a recent Qt 4.5 Snapshot.. so maybe it is related to the switch to Qt 4.5? I suspect the openSUSE 11.1 packages of trunk (mentioned by the initial reporter) are also compiled against Qt 4.5?
Bernhard, i do not think it is a Qt 4.5 or a buildservice problem. I use Qt 4.4.3 and KDE is compiled by myself.

Hello! I observed this bug, too. My Setup is OpenSuSE 11.0 x86_64 (AMD64), NVIDIA graphics (using proprietary driver) with Packages of KDE 4.2.0 from the Factory-Buildservice. On my system it seems that adding a plasmoid or opening the K-menu/lancelot are the most reliable triggers for the black screen. Using opera or kontact f.e. has so far shown a much smaller probability to cause this phenomenon. Anybody similar experiences? As Jay Ambee stated the system seems totaly unconvinced by this blackout-behavior. Starting programs by clicking on the then-invisible symbols in plasma works. Blindly opening the program-starter with Alt+F2 and typing "kwin --replace" is processed instantly and brings back the normal view. And until now the Xserver has not complained about anything that might seem related.
Adding plasmoid results 100 percent crash since some days up to two weeks, Kickoff about 80 percent since the last update via zypper on thursday evening, dolphin only one crash, i had enough ;-), other programs tested, but not count. I gone back to 3.5.10 on the old machine, and then i can use all programs without crash.
I have opened a report on opensuse. please add your comments there too. https://bugzilla.novell.com:443/show_bug.cgi?id=478495
I can confirm this but there is a way more easy workaround until the issue is fixed: When the black screen appears, just disable compositing by pressing [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[F12] -> Your windows re-appear. Afterwards, you can re-enable compositing with the same hotkey: [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[F12]
*** Bug 185204 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Could you please try to pin down if it is a specific effect causing this? To do this deactivate all and try to reactivate them one per one and check if it is back. To the devs: Is it really necassary to backport new effects?
> Could you please try to pin down if it is a specific effect causing this? The only thing i could say, is, the crashes happened with a fresh emtpy ~/.kde4, i have not enough time to disable the desktop-effects. Ok, i could disable the effects in the configs, but i need this machine working, so i can't test this frequently.
I have the same problem: I have an old nvidia 5600 FX with lstest supported binary driver. I'm running self compiled sources (kde+qtcopy) on kubuntu. I notieced that after restarting kwin the bug does not occur for a long while. Dunno if this could help.
I've tried trigers you've mentioned but I could not reproduce this bug, I wonder where is the difference between my system and yours. My system: Linux 2.6.27.8-9.1-default x86_64 openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) Qt: 4.5.0-rc1 KDE: 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) "release 102" Plasma Workspace: 0.3 x11-video-nvidiaG02-180.29-0.1
Pawel if you are using openSUSE repositories it is because your version is outdated, the is no KDE4:Factory build for Qt4.5 on openSUSE 11.1 anymore. Doesn't apply if you build kde from svn.
If this problem does not occur if the present window effect is disabled it is probably a duplicate of bug 178471.
Karsten, I use up-to-date version, and I have qt 4.5-rc1 (libqt4-4.4.90+4.5.0rc1-35.1.x86_64.rpm), AFAIK KDE4:Factory recently switched to 4.5, so I'm not sure what do you mean. Regards
I have found this in forums.opensuse.org I can't test it, because the machine isn't here http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/408398-newest-kde4-factory-black-screen-when-firefox-starts.html#post1947633
I also experienced the bug two or three times (KDE trunk, qt-copy trunk, nVidia 177.80). Invoking »Present Windows« helps, I'll do some more research once I get struck by it again. This seems to be similar to bug 178471 indeed, although I hesitate to mark it as a duplicate, since there are too many details unknown yet. (I have changed the title since this is apparently not related to plasma at all.)
(In reply to comment #21) > AFAIK KDE4:Factory recently switched to 4.5, so I'm not sure what do you mean. No, it switched to whatever Qt there is in the main or update repository. This is Qt4.4.3 for openSUSE 11.1 and Qt4.5rc1 for openSUSE Factory (the to become 11.2) (check buildservice logs) But you are right, it will run with Qt4.5 as well (the version build against 4.4.3), but I don't think it's recommended. Interesting find anyways, that might mean something from trunk got backported which doesn't work on Qt4.4.3
I can confirm comment 23. It is not related to Qt 4.5, since I run 4.4.3. Disabling the "Present Windows" solves it. I got the impression that it is related to the number of windows (graphics RAM/cache?). At a certain stage every new window, even opening the menu triggers it. Yet the same actions with not other windows present does not.

I can trigger this bug on openSUSE 11.1 for x86_64 (KDE 4.2.0 release 102 from openSUSE's build service), Qt 4.5 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.1, and NVIDIA driver 180.29 by launching kdiff3 compiled from source (available from kdiff3.sf.net). Just typing kdiff3 in konsole does the "trick". Also it seems to occur (somewhat randomly) when I switch desktops (or click Show Desktop) and attempt to launch an application from a desktop icon.
Please add the following to the ServerLayout section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Option "BackingStore" "False"
I tried with the "BackingStore" option, but it did not fix the issue for me. Disabling the present windows effect fixes the issue for me so far.
I've tried to kill kwin. It has restored himself automatically and the black screen disappeared.
I have the same problem. I use openSUSE 11.1 and I update KDE4.2 almost every day from opensuse repos. This bug appeared circa 3/4 days ago, I cant be sure. The description is also similar to bug 178471. Graphic card: Ati Mobility Radeon X1600 Backingstore: off Qt: 4.4.3 (same repo from comment #27) Drivers: radeon build from git today radeonhd build from git today fglrx 8.11 and 9.2 (I have the "black screen bug" with all this drivers, except when using "AccelMethod" EXA with the radeon and radeonhd drivers)

I need confirmation as to whether the above patch fixed the problem or not. This is now a blocker for 4.2.1 and it cannot be released until this is fixed.
*** Bug 185272 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Removing blocker status as this occurs in the original 4.2.0 release and so is not a regression. Why it just suddenly appeared for OpenSuSE users right now I have no idea.

Why it just suddenly appeared for OpenSuSE users right now I > have no idea. Why do you think it happend in 4.2.0? AFAIK it started after a branch-diff was applied, it did not happen with the initial packages for 4.2.0. Further, if bug 178471 is a duplicate, then there are reoprts from gentoo, arch linux etc.
(In reply to comment #38) > Why do you think it happend in 4.2.0? AFAIK it started after a branch-diff was > applied, it did not happen with the initial packages for 4.2.0. Another developer that is using the same Arch Linux KDE packages as I can reproduce the problem while I can't. The packages were released the day 4.2.0 was released and they have not been updated since.
*** Bug 178471 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It is also worth noting the date that bug 178471 was opened, it is well before the release of 4.2.0.
Having a look at the Novell bug report there is a ~/.xsession-errors log that contains near the end of the file: kwin(3802) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ): 0x "500" The next time someone reproduces this can they please check the end of their log for this error. Unfortunately this output can mean pretty much anything, but if everyone gets the same error then that's a start.
(In reply to comment #38) > Why do you think it happend in 4.2.0? AFAIK it started after a branch-diff was > applied, it did not happen with the initial packages for 4.2.0. There were a few occasional complaints in IRC and it happened to me with the initial 4.2.0 packages. So it seems the cause was there in 4.2.0 release already, but a change to 4.2svn made it trigger much faster. Also the problem is fixed by just disabling "present windows" effect already, I doubt this fixed the root of the problem. If openSUSE noted changes are correct, the last update to 4.2branch was 18.2.2008, the previous one on 6.2.2008, this results in only http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&sortby=rev&revision=922459 http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&sortby=rev&revision=924119 But they look innocent to me =/
I am the original reporter of 178471 which marked as dup. The bug appeared in my system in a pre 4.2 version. Just before the tagging of the 4.2
I just had the same effect - without the GL hit in my .xsession-errors
Can anyone reproduce in XRender mode?
(In reply to comment #46) > Can anyone reproduce in XRender mode? Yes, I can reproduce in XRender mode. The bug presents itself in exactly the same way.
Woot. Lucas, I just built kwin from branches/KDE/4.2 and I couldn't reproduce this. I'm not sure if it's because I'm running with your fix, or if I'm running without whatever OpenSUSE 11.1 packages have, but it looks much better. Previously, btw, I could trigger this 100% by doing this: for f in $(seq 1 10) ; do glxgears&; done or by continually opening new urxvt windows. Can't get it to happen now, as I said. Thanks Lucas! =:)
(In reply to comment #48) > for f in $(seq 1 10) ; do glxgears&; done Thanks for this :) I was finally able to reproduce this bug for f in $(seq 1 10); do glxgears& done trigers the bug and the other weird things - first black screen and movable cursor, just as described than after alt+shift+f12, desktop comes back (sort of) - afher that, the desktop is shifted right (scrollbar in firefox is now on the left and when I move the mouse far right - it appears on the left), it gets back to normal after ctrl+alt+f1, alt+f7. I've seen this bug before - it was triggered by qt bug (task ID #244185 ), found through arora (http://code.google.com/p/arora/issues/detail?id=262) and qt demo browser. Unfortunately I can't send you a screenshot, because the desktop isn't shifted on screen shot - whole plasma panel have standard blue background (my wallpaper and bg color are black) - this one is new to me and I don't have workaround yet (I can logoff off course ;) ) funny thing is, that now I can't reproduce it any more (may be it's the blue bg stuff - I'll check it later)
> - whole plasma panel have standard blue background (my wallpaper and bg color > are black) - this one is new to me and I don't have workaround yet just shift+alt+f12 again, bg is blue only with composition disabled. I've been able to reproduce it once more (after +20 tries), but I don't know yet how to get 100% reproducibility.
I'm able to reproduce this bug every time with 23 glxgears: for f in $(seq 1 23); do glxgears& done I've also noticed that "screen shift" bug doesn't occur every time. my console says: ... 1670 frames in 5.0 seconds = 333.976 FPS XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 225 requests (225 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Hi, May I participate to this whereas I work on ubuntu system ? Just in case would be be interested in talking about this, I have a similar problem, Since last update my screen randomly goes black or freeze and leaves a moveable mouse which does not work any event. I've read a bit of all that discussion so I have to precise that neither keyboard respond to events so I just can't swith tty and kill kwin. The only thing I may do is a complete restart of my system I may experience the similar error: <unknown>[DAMAGE+0], request: XDamageDestroy[DAMAGE+2] in my xsession-error file. I thought as well that it could be linked to an update of qt libs. anyway, since I disabled all desktop effects, it goes better ! So this is the bug declaration I left on this site: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188072 Thanks to all who would have a look on this.
Are the patches from above merged into the 4.2.2 branch?
I upgraded to KDE 4.2.2 yesterday and despite the fact that this bug was not fixed in 4.2 branch (according to the changelog), i dared to re-enable the present windows effect. And guess: I did not have a single black screen (or crashing kwin) since yesterday. I made heavy use of the present windows effect and it seems fixed for me now. Can someone confirm this?
I am experiencing the problem with KDE 4.3 for openSUSE 11.1 (build service). kwin version is 4.2.95-282.3 as of this writing. disabling compositing usually leaves me without a taskbar alt-f2 plus "kwin --replace" as suggested above corrects the issue but this is getting to be pretty annoying.
I can confirm this bug in Debian with KDE 4.2 and KDE 4.3. In my situation it sometimes appears after unsuspending from RAM. Disabling compositing by unplugging power cable restore normal view, but disabling compositing manualy (Alt-Shift-F12) restore view incorrectly - there is no plasma in the screen, hotkey for krunner doesn't work two. But Alt-tab works. Switching to console and back to xserver completly restore normal view. Confiuration - Lenovo T500 Graphics card - intel GMA 4500MHD, ATI Radeon 3650 this bug appears in both graphics cards. compositing mode is XRender *I can attach a screenshot of desktop without plasma(after disabling compositing manualy) if it is necessary? but there is nothing interesting.

But Alt-tab works. > Switching to console and back to xserver completly restore normal view. that's likely no kwin issue - plasma and krunner are independent apps please check whether plasma & krunner are running at all ("ps -A | grep -E '(plasma|krunner)'") if not you can start "plasma-desktop --display :0; krunner --display :0" if they're up you can try "xrefresh" and see whether the background gets updated (you'll need to have e.g. an open terminal on X11)
Ok, I met this situation again. Plasma and krunner were running, just not rendering. xrefresh helped.
This bug looks fixed to me. Does anyone who experienced the bug still see this issue?
I'm on kde 4.4 beta1(4.3.81) in opensuse 11.2 and can't reproduce.
I'm running latest trunk and this issue hasn't presented itself in a long time. Count it as fixed here.
I have met this issue recently. But it appears only once for a long time and it was probably a problem with combination of xorg-xvideo-ati driver and system dist-ugrade. And I can not reproduce it.
seems to be fixed. If anyone is still experiencing this issue, please reopen.
I am still experiencing the issue. openSUSE 11.2, KDE 4.4, qt 4.6.2 Other possibly related bugs: bug 220211 and bug 205803 and bug 197684.
