Bug ID: 452344
Summary: Automatically disabling compositing with unstable
openGL setups makes the system seem broken and
generates bug reports
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
KWin has some internal logic to disable compositing automatically after certain
issues happen, and it sets OpenGLIsUnsafe=true in the user's ~/.config/kwinrc
file.
This is fairly heavy-handed solution that makes the system seem broken and
generates bug reports. For example:
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452193
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446779
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431161
We should try to avoid this if possible. If it's not possible, we need to be
more proactive about telling the user what happened and letting them now how
they can fix it. Sending a persistent system notification could work.
