Description Vassilis Virvilis 2022-10-27 06:28:52 UTC
Application: kwin_x11 (5.26.0)

Qt Version: 5.15.6
Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Operating System: Linux 6.0.0-1-amd64 x86_64
Windowing System: X11
Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid
DrKonqi: 5.26.0 [KCrashBackend]

-- Information about the crash:
Hi,

I got a lot a crashes from kwin probably after 5.24 (not so sure). It happens every 3 days - sometimes sooner with a X error 22 bad request. Previously I had kwin running for months.

Usually kwin cannot restart itself after that.

This time it managed to restart and offered me the KCrash dialog so this is probably a different bug and I thought to sent it over in case anybody can see it through...

I have some 3D effects enabled not sure if that plays any role.

The crash does not seem to be reproducible.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KWin (kwin_x11), signal: Segmentation fault

Comment 1 Vassilis Virvilis 2022-10-27 06:35:20 UTC
Just remembered something that may be important.

My monitor broke down (don't ask) and I had to connect a new one (same resolution though). Then I got the KCrash dialog in the new monitor.

Hope that helps.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2022-10-28 17:55:49 UTC
The backtrace paints a somewhat clear picture: KWin tried to position windows on the screen that no longer exists, queried its properties, and crashed.
Comment 3 Ricardo J. Barberis 2022-10-29 17:43:02 UTC
Can this bug make kwin_x11 die?

Since a couple of weeks ago (I upgraded Plasma 5.26.0 + Frameworks 5.99.0 + Gears 22.08.2 at the same time, so I can't pinpoint the reason) I'm having constant kwin crashes and I have to start it manually, either via konsole/yakuake o krunner.

I had no luck triyng to reproduce it o debug it, nothing relevant in dmesg, /var/log/messages or ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log.

Yesterday I had like 10 crashes in five hours, I got fed up and rebooted and still haven't experienced any crash so far.

My system is a notebook to which I connect an external monitor (HDMI TV actually) when working from home, bu I also experienced crashes when at the office with no external monitor/TV attached.

Also, I don't usually reboot my notebook but use suspend/resume.

Thanks.

Comment 4 Ricardo J. Barberis 2022-10-29 17:47:02 UTC
Oh, and I never got a Dr Konqui crash report about these crashes.

And a couple of times I also had to restart plasmashhel because it hanged after starting kwin_x11.

The only thing I notice is that the crashes seems to happen when I receive a notification, but it might be just bad timming because while working I usually receive lots of them (from mattermost in a browser tab mostly, and also from kmail).
Comment 5 Vassilis Virvilis 2022-12-06 07:12:36 UTC
This crash is consistent for me now.

The way to reproduce is:

-Start Plasma session (login)
-Remove old monitor
-Attach new monitor (same resolution - don't know what happens if you reconnect the old monitor. Hm?)
-kwin seems working
-try to change virtual desktops - kwin crashes and the report-bug is popped up.

Is overview/present windows/desktop grid active when you change virtual desktop?

Do you mean the thumbnails of virtual desktops selector? (sorry I don't know the proper name).

In that case yes - I would say. It is always shown when I change virtual desktops. So it should be shown also when the bug is triggered (after monitor change). Now I can't remember if it is actually shown or crashes trying to show it and I am not at work so I cannot reproduce it.

However in a recent update kwin started to restart itself after the crash and the mitigates the severity of this error.

Can you attach the screenshot of that effect?

---

I can't reproduce the crash, kwin doesn't crash if I remove and reconnect an output while the overview effect is active and switch between virtual desktops.

As is, I'm confused by KWin::DesktopBackgroundItem::updateWindow() call.

I don't think so. It is transient during virtual desktop switching. I would need probably to record it in video.

Ok I have 2 different monitors with the same resolution.
When I came in the morning sometimes I have to switch the monitors (for some non related reason).
When I get back in my chair everything is normal. When I try to switch to another virtual screen I get the crash.

Hope that helps
