SUMMARY I am unable to rotate the screen under a wayland session. The screen will always stay in non-rotated mode, regardless of which rotation I select. Sometimes, the desktop will crash and restart upon applying the setting. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open display settings and under manual orientation pick 90° clockwise, counter clockwise or upside down. 2. Click Apply. OBSERVED RESULT The screen either doesn't rotate, or desktop crashes, blinking to text mode before reloading. EXPECTED RESULT The screen is rotated to selected setting. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.22 (User Edition) KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - The system is running on nvidia proprietary driver, version 470. - I have two displays connected and the behavior is the same on first and second one, as well as when disabling one. - I have found reports of similar issues on KDE forums in regards to Plasma 4.21 (https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=170833). Note that a similar bug was supposedly fixed in 1.19, so this could be a regression (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389665).
Sounds like KWin itself is crashing. Any chance you could get a backtrace of the crash? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports, particularly the section about coredumpctl.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Sounds like KWin itself is crashing. Any chance you could get a backtrace of > the crash? Managed to get one. This took a few unsuccessful rotation attempts, turning second monitor on and off and moving screens around, but it happened eventually. #0 __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at

AMD laptop, so this could be nvidia-specific.
The relevant code where kwin used to crash has been dropped.
