kstart5 plasmashell log

SUMMARY
Turning primary monitor off and on causes plasmashell to crash, opened windows seemingly unaffected, requires a manual start of plasmashell to get it back.

MONITOR CONFIGURATION
primary monitor HP-24f on HDMI-A-1

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn monitor off
2. Turn monitor on

OBSERVED RESULT
plasmashell disappears and has to be started manually

EXPECTED RESULT
plasmashell continues to function normally

Same with opensuse tumbleweed

Potentially 2555663c9f59b93f5fcc5d3ead233bee280e36f8 in QtWayland (Qt6) fixes this.

It's not in Qt 5.15.2 it is in our KDE backports.

Can you get an exact version of QtWayland (or at least specific enough that we can ask OpenSuse people what patches that contains)
Comment 4 Christian Hartmann 2021-06-19 16:13:52 UTC
It's libqt5-qtwayland-5.15.2-4.2 (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE%3AFactory/libqt5-qtwayland)
Comment 5 neto0110 2021-06-20 21:51:11 UTC

I looked up and that commit should be in the Arch package since apparently they are using commit a6476d1a1c78eb7f17408241b268404e27b3e161 in the https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qt5-wayland repository for that package
Comment 7 David Edmundson 2021-07-09 07:58:50 UTC
I have a theory on this:
 - some suspends cause screen removals
 - Qt inserts a QPlatformPlaceholderScreen
 - this has a size of 0
 - Creating a window with a size of 0 is illegal (and pointless)

Not sure whether we should guard this in the client or in QtWaylandClient. Probably both

platforms/drm: introduce virtual outputs

When the last output gets disconnected, create a virtual output as a
placeholder until we have access to a physical output again. While
this placecholder never gets rendered to, with virtual outputs in
general that is possible (with gbm and qpainter atm) and can be done
for future use cases like wireless displays.

plasmashell crash log on 5.23.1 with patch 1125 applied

I tried 5.23.1 with the patch mentioned applied

<https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1125>

But I still get the same crash when re-plug the monitor, and log is also almost exactly the same. I don't think this bug is fixed. It should be reopened.

See attachment for the log.

Comment 30 Francois Prunier 2021-10-26 22:03:02 UTC
I think I can reproduce this bug (or a very similar one) any time by:
- starting a session on my laptop with an external display
- suspending the laptop
- waking it up not connected to the external display

-> I then get a black screen with only the pointer moving, all apps seem to be running still but I can't see them (I can see them with a `ps` command on a vt)
Comment 31 ltstarwarskid 2021-10-27 14:51:27 UTC

With Plasma 5.23.3, when I turn off and on my screen, now desktop survives, al panel stay in place and working (they were gone before), although kde or qt apps opened (I'm not sure, apps like dolphin or system settings) remain open but they become non-responsive and grey and need to be closed.

But its a step forward.

Yes, for example clementine playpack freezes after screen comes back. It feels to me like the panel is not the old one, but it is a new one created when there is no panel (see the panel drawing animation, it starts the animation later, the screen is the first).
Comment 47 Mircea Kitsune 2021-11-19 18:19:09 UTC
Got on Plasma 5.23.3 in Manjaro. Even in this release the issue hasn't been fully addressed: Tested Wayland session again on my mother's computer, it uses a common HDMI connection for the monitor. Once the monitor shut itself off, it came right back up as usual... this time however I only saw the desktop wallpaper and none of the keys worked, it's like the entire system froze as not even Alt + Shift + F# to change runlevel worked any more, though I could still move the mouse pointer around which was peculiar.
Comment 48 robinhuang123 2021-12-04 03:30:26 UTC
I'm observing the same bug on Plasma 5.23.3 (on NixOS 21.11). After turning off and on my monitor connected via HDMI,

* The desktop environment doesn't respond to key presses and mouse clicks
* If this is done on the lock screen, the lock screen also does not respond
* The cursor still moves around
* Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F3 to switch to ttys does nothing (while ssh-ing into the machine still works)

Maybe we should reopen this ticket?
Comment 49 Dima 2021-12-04 08:02:40 UTC
Same thing as above happens to me with 5.23.3 on SUSE Tumbleweed in Wayland, while Xorg works fine.
The cursor changes when hovering over e.g. resizable widgets but I can't interact with anything.
Can't switch TTYs with the keyboard even after doing Alt+Sysrq+R (though the rest of the REISUB sequence works).
Comment 50 Mircea Kitsune 2021-12-04 10:33:49 UTC
Is it okay to reopen this please? Clearly the core issue hasn't been resolved, at best it might have been moved elsewhere. Seems this option is provided below the comment box, figured I'd ask first before messing with the bug status if it will let me as a non-reporting user.
Comment 51 phrxmd 2021-12-04 14:29:19 UTC
I'm in favour of reopening, I don't think this has been fixed.
I am still observing this in Plasma 5.23.4. I power down my external HDMI monitor, Plasmashell goes down, taking all applications with it. In addition (probably as a consequence of Plasmashell going down) Akonadi segfaults.

This is on OpenSUSE TW, Plasma 5.34.4, Frameworks 5.88, Qt 5.15.2, libqt5-qtwayland 5.15.2+kde34-1.2.

Done, hopefully this works. This issue has been around for so long and is literally the one reason why some of us can't use Wayland and need to stick to X11, hope this offers more hope in solving the issue soon.

plasmashell crash backtrace after Qt patch

I'm still seeing this crash even after applying the Qt patch and doing a local build with that patch. The backtrace for each crash appears to be roughly in the same area (+/- a few lines). This crash is actually in QML/QtQuick code, and I know that it doesn't happen on X11.

I've attached the backtrace as well as a bit of debugging I did. It's been a while since I did any programming with Qt, but I'd guess that this object is getting destroyed (or was destroyed) and this function got called in the middle of that cleanup.

Same here when turning off my DP screen in Plasma Wayland session.

Operating System: Gentoo 2.8
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.15.6-gentoo (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor
Memory: 62,7 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 5700
Comment 57 Francois Prunier 2021-12-10 13:36:17 UTC
I still have the same problem with a patched Qt on Kubuntu 21.10 with backports enabled:

Operating System: Kubuntu 21.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-22-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz
Memory: 15,3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4600

Something I noticed: it seems slightly better because a few times I've been able to access krunner and restart plasmashell, but most of the time all I get is a black screen with only the cursor moving and I'm stuck with that.
Comment 58 Antonio Chirizzi 2021-12-30 16:26:17 UTC
I can confirm this problem is still alive on Fedora 35 (KDE spin):

Operating System: Fedora 35 (KDE spin)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.15.11-200.fc35.x86_64
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (family: 0x19, model: 0x50, stepping: 0x0), microcode: 0xa50000c
Memory: 32 GB of RAM

I have 2 monitor attached: one through a DisplayPort and one through HDMI. The HDMI is turned off and is disabled through the display settings. So if I turn off and then on the monitor on the DisplayPort port I get the plasmashell crash.

This is the log from "journalctl -f":

Comment 59 amm 2021-12-31 00:23:52 UTC
Same behavior as above, nothing really new. Just wanted to mention that to be able to use Wayland without plasma crashing, I just disabled display switching off in settings for energy savings.

We believe this will be resolved by: https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtwayland/-/merge_requests/27

Please reopen if this an issue afterwards.
Comment 61 Francois Prunier 2022-01-12 15:29:31 UTC
@David Isn't it the same patch as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438839#c53, but on the 5.15.2 branch instead of master ?

A few people, including myself, have tested this patch and still get the crash, so I think we should re-open this.
Comment 62 David Edmundson 2022-01-12 15:32:13 UTC
With master? Or stable branches. There were other p-w commits relating to the placeholder screen.
Comment 63 David Edmundson 2022-01-12 16:04:51 UTC
If you are on stable I can find them out. There were two relevant.
Comment 64 Francois Prunier 2022-01-12 16:37:05 UTC
I'm on Kubuntu 31.10 with backports enabled. 

I only built Qt 5.15.2 with the patch, at the time the backports had:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Comment 65 Francois Prunier 2022-01-12 16:38:34 UTC
I'm currently running:

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-25-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Comment 66 Andreas Sturmlechner 2022-01-20 16:33:15 UTC
The situation seems to have improved considerably indeed. plasmashell is no longer crashing, falkon, dolphin and kmail survive multiple screen off/on switching, however konversation does crash regularly when doing that. But that is likely a different bug then.

Operating System: Gentoo 2.8
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.90

Comment 67 Nate Graham 2022-01-20 16:38:58 UTC
Awesome, let's call it fixed.
Comment 68 phrxmd 2022-02-09 22:47:38 UTC
It's not fixed. I'm on 5.24.0, when I switch off my external monitor I get a crash and lose all my open applications.
Comment 69 Nate Graham 2022-02-10 17:25:38 UTC
Plasmashell can't take out your apps when it crashes, only KWin can do that. This bug is about a Plasmashell crash, not a KWin crash, so your issue is about something else. Can you open a new bug report for it? Thanks!
