kwin crashes if the user hits the global keyboard shortcut to turn off compositing, but only if QSG_RENDER_LOOP is set to basic Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a script with the contents "export QSG_RENDER_LOOP=basic" to autostart pre-KDE. 2. Switch off compositing 3. Note kwin_x11 crashing The system this was discovered on runs nvidia 349.16 and qt 5.4.1. The issue does NOT occur when QSG_RENDER_LOOP is not set to "basic" This issue here may be related: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347807
can you please post the bactrace (no compositing sounds rather like a qml issue, ie. likely related to the deco in use)
After building and installing debug versions of kdecoration and kwin, I can unfortunately no longer reproduce the issue. Now I am doubting whether QSG_RENDER_LOOP ever had any influence on it or whether the few crashes I experienced were simply a coincidence.
if you still have or can reproduce, feel free to post the backtraces of the stock arch packages (even limited info is better than none ;-) also attach the output of "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation" (as mentioned, I mostly care about the used deco plugin)
Even with stock packages, I am no longer able to reproduce. However, coredumpctl shows me two coredumps which might be associated with this, one is from ksplashqml and the other is from kscreen_backend_launcher. I will attach them in the hope that they are related and report back if I can reproduce the crash at a later time.
Okay, filesize is over the limit, so here's a URL of the dumps: http://fratti.ch/tmp/kde-dumps.tar.gz I'll attach the output of "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation" though
