Created attachment 144429 [details] Journal boot logs until KWin crash SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** Sometimes at boot kwin_x11 throws "Freeze in OpenGL initialization detected" and disables compositing (with OpenGL x.y compositing enabled in systemsettings). This happens apparently in a random fashion. I am using the default user configuration files in /home. I put the journalctl log in the attachment. This error never happened to me before, but I can't recall which change triggered the error. I recently updated Plasma, though. Clicking "Re-enable OpenGL compositing" in systemsettings and relaunching kwin effectively re-enables compositing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable OpenGL (whatever version) compositing under System Settings > Composer 2. Restart 3. Launch a Plasma X11 session in sddm OBSERVED RESULT No compositing, sometimes kwin_x11 doesn't even start remaining a blank screen. EXPECTED RESULT Compositing working SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.76 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Processors: Intel Core i7-6850k Memory: 128GB Graphics Processor: Nvidia GeForce GTX1060 6GB Nvidia Drivers: 495.44
Reassigning to product KWin (product bugs.kde.org is for bugs with the bug tracker itself)
I can confirm this issue with a GTX 1070. This only happens with the latest "new feature branch" nvidia driver (495.44). With the current "production branch" version (470.86), it never fails.
Here are the details of my system: Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.6-arch2-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2
I don't have this issue anymore with latest nvidia driver (510.47.03) and Plasma 5.23.90.
