After yesterday's update to 4.10.0 (from 4.9.98), KDE no longer starts properly. The last thing I see is the splash screen where icons like KDE, tools and disk are shown. It continues after pressing alt-shift-f12 -- a short-cut for disabling effects. If I enable effects again, it also stops redrawing windows. # rpm -q `rpmqpack |grep -i kde`|sort bundle-lang-kde-cs-12.3-4.1.noarch flash-player-kde4-11.2.202.261-1.3.x86_64 kdeartwork4-wallpapers-weather-4.10.0-1.1.noarch kdeartwork4-wallpapers-4.10.0-1.1.noarch kdebase4-artwork-4.10.0-1.1.noarch kdebase4-libkonq-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 kdebase4-openSUSE-lang-12.3-16.1.noarch kdebase4-openSUSE-12.3-16.1.x86_64 kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 kdebase4-runtime-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 kdebase4-session-4.10.0-4.3.noarch kdebase4-workspace-branding-upstream-4.10.0-4.1.x86_64 kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd-4.10.0-4.1.x86_64 kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle-4.10.0-4.1.x86_64 kdebase4-workspace-plasma-calendar-4.10.0-4.1.x86_64 kdebase4-workspace-4.10.0-4.1.x86_64 kdelibs3-default-style-3.5.10-70.1.x86_64 kdelibs3-3.5.10-70.1.x86_64 kdelibs4-branding-upstream-4.10.0-2.1.x86_64 kdelibs4-core-4.10.0-2.1.x86_64 kdelibs4-4.10.0-2.1.x86_64 kdenlive-0.9.4-2.6.x86_64 kdepimlibs4-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 kdepim4-runtime-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 kde4-filesystem-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 kde4-kgreeter-plugins-4.10.0-4.1.x86_64 kde4-l10n-cs-4.10.0-1.1.noarch libkdecore4-4.10.0-2.1.x86_64 libkdeedu4-data-4.10.0-1.1.noarch libkdepimlibs4-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 libkdepim4-4.10.0-1.1.x86_64 libkde4-4.10.0-2.1.x86_64 liblockdev1-1.0.3_git201003141408-21.6.x86_64 liblockdev1-32bit-1.0.3_git201003141408-21.6.x86_64 libproxy1-config-kde4-0.4.11-1.1.x86_64 lockdev-1.0.3_git201003141408-21.6.x86_64 mozilla-kde4-integration-0.6.4-36.1.x86_64 polkit-kde-agent-1-0.99.0-14.6.x86_64 polkit-kde-kcmmodules-1-0.98.1+git20110929-4.6.x86_64 python-kde4-4.10.0-2.1.x86_64 qtcurve-kde4-1.8.14-1.3.x86_64 Reproducible: Always
Oh, and I have openGL compositioning enabled.
please run: qdbus org.kde.kwin /Compositor setCompositing true; sleep 10; qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation > kwin_support.txt; sleep 5; qdbus org.kde.kwin /Compositor setCompositing false (this will enable compositing, print the support informations into kwin_support.txt and then disable compositing - hopefully ;-) Attach kwin_support.txt here. XRender compositing works?
Created attachment 77140 [details] kwin_support.txt
(In reply to comment #2) > XRender compositing works? Yeah.
Comment on attachment 77140 [details] kwin_support.txt try: kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key GLStrictBinding true kwin --replace & (and of course report the impact ;-)
(In reply to comment #5) > kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key GLStrictBinding true > kwin --replace & > (and of course report the impact ;-) Hmm, no change.
kwrite --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key GLLegacy true kwin --replace & if that does not do either, try whether indirect rendering still works KWIN_DIRECT_GL LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 kwin --replace & if that also does not work, please enable the "show paint" plugin and see whether there's region update flicker Don't forget to reset the things above (ideally delete the keys on ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc, k*config can't do that)

> Should that be KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 or KWIN_DIRECT_GL=0? Should be "KWIN_DIRECT_GL= ", ie. ensure to unset the variable =)
(In reply to comment #9) > > Should that be KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 or KWIN_DIRECT_GL=0? > > Should be "KWIN_DIRECT_GL= ", ie. ensure to unset the variable =) Ok, still no cookies.
Did you update anything else (like esp. mesa)? It's not like the window content does not update, but nothing does (also not when you attempt to move a window), yesno? Please deactivte all effect plugins and set the sacel method to "smooth" or "crisp" (but this is unlikely gonna help)
(In reply to comment #11) > Did you update anything else (like esp. mesa)? Not Mesa (it was and is 9.0.2). But intel driver from 2.20.19 to 2.21.0. Let me check if downgrading helps. > It's not like the window content does not update, but nothing does (also not > when you attempt to move a window), yesno? Exactly, the whole screen is stuck. When I move a window, nothing happens until I disable compositing with alt-shift-f12.

Nevermind. Happens more then less often =)
