SUMMARY I booted the Fedora Rawhide/41 KDE Plasma live image Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20240527.n.0.iso in a QEMU/KVM VM using GNOME Boxes with 3D acceleration disabled using the llvmpipe driver from mesa 24.1.0. Plasma 6.0.5 on Wayland started. I started Konsole. I tried to run a nested kwin_wayland session using the instructions at https://community.kde.org/KWin/Wayland export $(dbus-launch) kwin_wayland --xwayland The nested kwin_wayland window didn't appear. The following output was in Konsole which showed KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied errors and a segmentation fault in kwin_wayland. export $(dbus-launch) kwin_wayland --xwayland No backend specified, automatically choosing Wayland because WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set unable to lock lockfile /run/user/1000/wayland-0.lock, maybe another compositor is running Accepting client connections on sockets: QList("wayland-1") OpenGL vendor string: Mesa OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 18.1.6, 256 bits) OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 24.1.0 OpenGL shading language version string: 4.50 Driver: LLVMpipe GPU class: Unknown OpenGL version: 4.5 GLSL version: 4.50 Mesa version: 24.1 Requires strict binding: no Virtual Machine: no Timer query support: yes KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied kwin_wayland_backend: Could not find a suitable render format qt.qpa.wayland: Creating a fake screen in order for Qt not to crash The Wayland connection broke.

address 0x0 This trace was different from the nested kwin_wayland 6.0.4 crash I reported at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487217 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Boot a Fedora 40 KDE Plasma installation updated to 2024-5-31 with updates-testing enabled 2. Log in to Plasma 6.0.5 on Wayland 3. Start Konsole 4. Install GNOME Boxes if it isn't already with sudo dnf install gnome-boxes 5. Download Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20240527.n.0.iso from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2457255 6. Start GNOME Boxes 7. Boot Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20240527.n.0.iso in a GNOME Boxes QEMU/KVM VM with 3 GiB RAM, UEFI enabled, and 3D acceleration disabled using the llvmpipe mesa driver 8. Start Konsole 9. In Konsole, run export $(dbus-launch) kwin_wayland --xwayland OBSERVED RESULT Nested kwin_wayland 6.0.5 crashed in QRegion::QRegion in VMs using the llvmpipe driver EXPECTED RESULT No crash should have happened SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Rawhide (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Nested kwin_wayland didn't crash with Plasma 6.0.90 in VMs using llvmpipe, but its window didn't appear. Just a task manager Wayland icon labelled KDE Wayland compositor WL-0 was shown which didn't show the window when I tried to click on it or maximize it. I'll report that problem separately.
There won't be any 6.0 releases anymore, but according to bug 487860 it's fixed in 6.1
