STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install the nvidia hybrid drivers and kde plasma then enable compositing 2. close the session OBSERVED RESULT kwin crashes and disables the compositor EXPECTED RESULT the session should close without issues keeping the compositor SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS FreeBSD 13.1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CPU : intel i7 8750h GPU : NVIDIA GTX 1060 RAM : 16 gb ddr4 this is an optimus laptop (acer predator helios 300 PH315-51) so I use the nvidia-hybrid-graphics freebsd drivers which by default use the mesa intel UHD graphics 630 when it comes to debug log, I did try to obtain one but I'm getting this issue seledreams-pc% gdb -pid $(pidof kwin_x11) -batch -ex "set logging file kwin_x11.gdb" -ex "set logging on" -ex "continue" -ex "thread apply all backtrace" -ex "quit" Excess command line arguments ignored. (1913 ...) 1922: No such file or directory. ptrace: Device busy. The program is not being run. so i'm not that sure about how I could send a more detailed log, I also did try the "send crash report" button after the kwin crash but then nothing happens
If something crashed, we need a backtrace of it so we can figure out what's going on. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Can you please attach one? Thanks!

Hi, I did check this page however the link provided in the freebsd section of this page is dead
Then I guess you'll need to find the FreeBSD-specific instructions yourself. And when you do, please edit the page to fix the link! It is a wiki, after all. :)

While I'm still looking to get gdb working with kwin, I tried starting kwin from command line and get a log going some things i noticed is that when it crashes it creates tons of zombie kwin_x11 processes that i can see in ksysguard, I also notice that when I start a session it always tends to start *two* kwin_x11 processes, and I don't get the crash when I make sure to kill one of the two kwin_x11 processes
