Description Yamashita Ren 2016-11-18 00:43:37 UTC 
Since a few days (or weeks), kwin compositing doesn't work anymore.
Here's the result when I try to start it from LXQt : https://zerobin.net/?8e84e46dad4b993c#Ts1MNKpLrbzJyROZZ+Nm/NQcVoix4BNGUAeQ8uKFu4A=
Here's the debug console from Plasma : http://pix.louiz.org/o/clCcv.jpeg
My GPU is a Nvidia Geforce GT 540M. Nothing seems wrong in the NVIDIA X Server Settings.

Didn't use my Archlinux boot for some time, I have no idea what caused this.
Compiz compositing seems to work fine.

Please add the ouput of this Konsole command:

qdbus-qt5 org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation

(or just qdbus, if qdbus-qt5 is not found)
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2016-11-18 06:41:19 UTC 
Please also:
qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor compositingNotPossibleReason

Also please go to the compositor settings in systemsettings - there might be some information.

Here are the results :
1) https://zerobin.net/?de86220b380ddf7f#lFpQP736XZKTzUXI9bQIeU4YH0CCD9nboR9/Wslxy68=
2) https://zerobin.net/?c986fe53d745b3c9#LYbbvTCWz5B6zplNdo4uNxYuz0jmir3DSgO+dG0s+w4=


Got the same message as 2) in compositor settings.
Re-enabled the opengl detection and now it works.
I missed the "compositor settings" when I searched them prior to submitting the bug... Sorry for wasting your time :/
Thanks for your help both of you !
