Bug ID: 433794
Summary: kwin compositor crash recovery handling is overly
annoying
Product: kwin
Version: 5.21.1
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Running nvidia on my laptop, when I disconnect external monitors, or
suspend/resume, the compositor often crashes. I get that that probably can't be
helped, but recovery is more annoying than it needs to be.
Currently, I have to go into compositor settings and click the re-enable
detection error message (ctrl-alt-f12 doesn't work). Then I have to change a
setting twice. Once to get it to turn compositor back on, and once to change
the setting back to where I want it to be, now that the compositor is enabled
and working again.
It would be nice if simply clicking the re-enable would turn the compositor
back on, with current settings.
I tried to figure out if there was a way to do this automatically with dbus and
set a hotkey for it, but couldn't figure out what needed to be done, if it's
even possible.
