The freeze occurs when closing gwenview. It happens occasionally, but not always, unfortunately I haven't found a way to reproduce it. I never experience similar freezes with other programs. During the freeze, the mouse is still responsive (for moving), but I can't click anything. Keyboard is entirely unresponsive (so nothing works, neither CTRL+ALT+DEL nor CTRL+ALT+F1), and so is the power button. Programs like audio player or torrent seem to continue to run tough. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. View image in gwenview 2. Close gwenview Actual Results: Close gwenview Expected Results: Screen freezes Since the complete screen freezes I am unable to provide any more useful information. Since ssh might still work I may be able to log into the frozen computer, but I am unsure what I can do from there.
Created attachment 76753 [details] Xorg log from when the freeze occured, containing several backtraces
Correction: after browsing the syslog it seems that the system tried to shutdown, but xdm refused to stop, leaving the screen open
As a workaround you could try to set "Animations" to "None" (under Settings -> Configure Gwenview -> Image View).
Is this still the case with newer versions of the nvidia driver (and gwenview)?
