Description hsf83357 2018-07-02 16:37:19 UTC
Whenever i select opengl rendering it doesnt matter if open gl 2.1 or 3.0 is selected Kwin crashes and falls back to xrendr mode. However this is only the case with nouveau drivers. (GTX850)

 
Steps to Reproduce:

        1) Enable the NVIDIA Card with the Variable DRI_PRIME=1
        

        2) Go to KWIN Settings and select OPENGL Rendering

Results: KWIN crashes and falls back to XRENDR Mode


Expected Results: KWIN should now use OPENGL

Build Date & Platform: KDE NEON 5.13 with all updates.

If kwin actually crashes, can we have a backtrace please.

This is the new report after installing libproxy-tools-dbgsym

Hello. i installed libproxy-tools-dbgsym (0.4.15-1). I hope this is correct ? i have attached the new crash log of kwin.
Comment 6 Martin Flöser 2018-07-03 04:19:21 UTC
libepoxy not libproxy
Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2018-07-31 01:08:33 UTC
If this crash is still reproducible, please install debug symbols for 'libepoxy' and add an updated backtrace.
