Description kolorafa 2018-01-28 08:13:47 UTC
Application: kwin_x11 (5.11.5)

Qt Version: 5.10.0
Frameworks Version: 5.42.0
Operating System: Linux 4.14.15-1-ARCH x86_64
Distribution: "Arch Linux"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Opening a lof ot browser tab (especially google spreadsheet), factorio, minecraft to fillup my 16GB of memory.
As soon i reach 100% of physical apps starts to crash even when having free swap. (8gb of swap, 20gb - no difference, still everything crashes when physical full)

min_free_kbytes  set to 875840  - but i don't see much difference

Anyone have a clue what could be checked? there is no OOM in the journal or dmesg, but i suspect that OS is refusing memory access and it crashes them that would explain the randomness of what crashes. Stacktrace suggest the same? (I would be greatfull if someone read stacktrace and put some suggestion based on it).

OS: Arch - up to date
plasmashell: 5.11.5
kernel; 4.14.15-1-ARCH

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KWin (kwin_x11), signal: Segmentation fault

Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2018-01-28 08:50:36 UTC
As always for Arch users the backtrace is completely useless as Arch does not provide debug symbols. Please complain to Arch for having you create such bug reports.
Comment 2 kolorafa 2018-01-28 09:22:05 UTC
Thanks, true, going to change makepkg settings to include debug and recompile from "sources" (pkgbuild) those apps that i see crashing.
Comment 3 kolorafa 2018-01-30 18:45:49 UTC
Found (probably) the cause of crashes -> zswap.

After disabling zswap (that was enabled on both my pc) the crashes stopped.
