Version: 1.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux NVIDIA driver 260.29 (tried with different versions with the same result) Enable desktop effects, enable desktop cube (direct rendering is enabled by default). Press Ctrl+F11 to get desktop cube effect, and rotate the cube with the mouse. After press 'space'. The desktop effects will be disabled after a while, you cant do anything, only mouse works. If you turn off 'Direct Rendering' on the 'Special' tab of the Desktop Effects Settings, everything works normally. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable desktop effects 2. enable desktop cube effect 3. press CTRL+F11 and rotate the cube 4. press 'space' to get back the workspace Actual Results: The desktop is unmanageable, mouse works, but not continuously, after a while the desktop effects will be disabled because of "slow animation" (bubble note) Expected Results: Desktop effects with direct rendering OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37-22-desktop Compiler: gcc
Sounds a lot like bug #260248, comment #4
I tested it with intel based notebook and ati based (open source default video driver) and direct rendering is working correctly. In this case it must be an nvidia related bug. Or not. I do not know. :o) I will report this bug to nvidia.
This is still issue with 270 beta driver?
Yes, with 270 it is the same. 270 is buggy anyway, unusable with opensuse 11.4.
I can confirm this bug. With nvida-drivers 260.19.21 or 260.19.29, on kde-4.4 this problem did not occur. I only started seeing this after I upgraded to kde-4.6. It could still be some kind of latent driver bug, but it is only triggered by this effect. Also, this is always present in the dmesg output when this happens: [ 287.600832] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0003 00000000 00008297 00001b0c 1000f010 00000040 I've tested on all 260 and 270 (up to the latest 270.26) nvidia-drivers and it happens on all of them. It's a very easy bug to reproduce.
- are you on opensuse as well? - try to set the scale method to NOT accurate.
No, not opensuse, sorry, I should have mentioned my system specs a bit: I'm Gentoo, AMD64, kernel 2.6.37 (also tried with several 2.6.36 kernels as well). I tried changing the scale method from Accurate to Smooth and Crisp. No change in behavior. Desktop remains generally unresponsive after attempting to zoom out the desktop cube(only mouse cursor moves) until KDE suspends composite (60 or so seconds). Composite can then be re-enabled and the desktop seems fine.
I updated my system with factory packages, and this bug does not exist during desktop cube effect, but I forgot to tell you this bug also happens at Flipping window switching effect. Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable desktop effects 2. enable flipping windows switching effect on GENERAL tab 3. press Alt+Tab to switch opened windows
flipswitch issue is known - doesn't happen here either :-( -> bug #261323 stupid question regarding comments #12 & #13 there and #5 here: what kind of gtk applications are you running? maybe some docker among them? (cairo-dock etc.)
No gtk dockers...about the only non-KDE things I always have running are Google Chromium and Thunderbird for mail.
I revoke Comment #8, I can reproduce this bug with Desktop Cube effect. :o(
I confirm this bug (both desktop cube and flipping windows effects). It can be always reproduced on Arch Linux (64 bit). System details: Driver: NVIDIA Driver version: 260.19.36 GPU class: G80/G90 OpenGL version: 3.3 GLSL version: 3.30 X server version: 1.9.2 Linux kernel version: 2.6.36 Direct rendering: yes
Tari, you already trying to contact with nVidia about this bug? linux-bugs@nvidia.com (require attach with results of nvidia-bug-report.sh script).

I have the same problem. I'm running gentoo linux with KDE 4.6. I get the same errors as Anish, and experience a "hard freeze" that requires me to turn off my PSU to reboot. I can reproduce it in about 30 seconds from boot, and is definitely the cube causing the problem. Nvidia-drivers default portage emerge. Sometimes ctrl-alt-f1 can be done before a total system hang.

I can also confirm this. GeForce 8800 GTS 512/PCI/SSE2 Drivers: 260.19.44 What does the direct rendering option do?
PS: I only experience this bug since Fedora (14, x86_64) updated to KDE 4.6.1. Under 4.5.x there was no problem (4.6.0 was skipped by Fedora; they said it was to buggy).

Direct vs. Indirect rendering controls whether the application speaks to OpenGL directly or via the X11 server. It's also a requirement for vertical synchronization - did you check that setting?

Just an idea: Are all relevant changes in git? If so, one could bisect to find the commit triggering the bug.
(In reply to comment #28) > Xrender and OpenGL both FAIL with Vsync on or off, Desktop cube freeze up the > computer no many what I do with the settings. You can no way activate the desktop cube with XRender. Are you using compiz instead of KWin? (In reply to comment #29) > Just an idea: Are all relevant changes in git? Git and svn (the move to git was right after the 4.6 tagging) - the svn history should have survived the transformation. The problem is that the issue is likely not in the cube code at all -> gonna be a hard bisect :-( (and no: it does not happen here at all, no matter what i do - sorry)
No, I'm sorry, I worded that wrong. No, it disabled my desktop effects when I tried to use Xrender. I think it's a driver issue to tell you the truth, some people aren't having problems with ATi card, but people with Nvidia are.

It did work without problems with the same nvidia driver and KDE 4.5.x. The hangs are only since I updated to KDE 4.6.1. Hmm, there was also a Xorg update in the same time frame.

That could be, I'm just going to stick with 4.5.5 until it's fixed. Pardus 2011 is an awesome KDE Distro, very fast and stable running on 4.5.5, but it also has the same problems all the rest have if you update top 4.6.x. --- grosser.meister.morti@gmx.net wrote: From: Mathias Panzenböck <grosser.meister.morti@gmx.net> To: redwingsred@linuxwaves.com Subject: [Bug 266182] Desktop is frozen during cube rotation with direct rendering Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 01:28:49 +0200 (CEST) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266182 --- Comment #32 from Mathias Panzenböck <grosser meister morti gmx net> 2011-04-06 01:28:46 --- > I think it's a driver issue to tell you the truth, some > people aren't having problems with ATi card, but people with Nvidia are.

I have the same issue with openSUSE11.4 KDE4.6.2 64bit, nvidia 8400M GT and 260.19.44 drivers. Please, how could I solve?
according to OP by disabling "direct rendering" ("kcmshell4 kwincompositing" / advanced tab) notice that this causes some performance. can someone encountering this issue or bug #261323 please dump and attach his nvidia settings? "nvidia-settings -q all > nvidiasettings.txt"

Yes, by disabling "direct rendering" the problem there is no more, but blur doesn't work. > can someone encountering this issue or bug #261323 please dump and attach his > nvidia settings? > "nvidia-settings -q all > nvidiasettings.txt" I encounter bug #261323 too.

please run "nvidia-settings" and in "OpenGL Settings" disable "Allow flipping" see bug #261323 comments #39 and up.

claiming dupe status then. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 261323 ***
It seems that disabling Allow Flipping only helps temporarily. I've got the next freeze about 10 min. after having disabled it. I checked three times and I could reproduce (had to reboot the box...). It simply takes longer until the freeze comes.

In addition, when press space button and cube disappears the screen becomes black for a moment, like a black flash.
It's a real shame this bug was duped to an unrelated bug based on invalid test results. The only difference that disabling Allow Flipping had for me was that the screen became black (just like the user above belatedly reported)...with only white borders around open windows...other than that, no difference at all in the behavior.
reopening, but it lilkely drains from the same source... (and is still unreproducable here...)
Here is some new information I just saw, btw. It may (or may not) be significant. I recently upgraded to the new 270.41.03 drivers. Now, when I trigger this event, I get some more information from the drivers in dmesg: "[11048.032050] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 8, Channel 00000001 [11050.032031] NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context [11052.032080] NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context"
can you try to move /usr/lib/libkwinnvidiahack* out of the way, ie rename them or move them somewhere the linker won't find them? then restart "kwin --replace&" and see whether sth. changes.
ERRRR scratch that!! kwin won't load w/o libnvidiahack anymore...
further investigation shows it is the same issue *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 261323 ***
