Bug ID: 471054
Summary: running into a hard coded limit in workspace_wrapper.h
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: scripting
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: o1bigte...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Running a system with LOTS of resources (64 GB of ram for one).
Complicating things is that I run 4 - 1920x1080 and 1 - 4k monitor.
I've found that using virtual desktops is a great way of separating projects
and functions.
Have slowly worked my way up to a total of 46 virtual desktops (Easy to find
space when the panel at the bottom of the desktop is on a 4k monitor!)
Finding that when I use more graphically intense packages - - - FreeCAD being
one, that my system uptime disintegrates.
I find the problem when I return to my system and activate the monitors (from a
sleep mode). When all my pages are piled on top of each other and the panel at
the bottom of the monitor (desktopswitcher from lxqt-panel) has disappeared
well then I need to go to another system, ssh into my main box and reboot.
(After reboot it takes about 1/2 hour to setup all the packages that I have
running on my system when I want them to be.)
In digging into the source code there is a hard limit listed - - - lines 49 to
52 in workspace_wrapper.h .
I have been looking to find where that limit is actually programmed in but I
can't find it.
Apologies to the developers but I don't see where this is a 'useful' limit.
I suppose if one insists on using function keys then the limit makes sense but
when one is using a desktop switching panel an arbitrary limit seems quite - -
- unnecessary - - - at least in my opinion.
If someone were to point out where that hard coding actually resides I would
like to try changing that upper limit to something like 50 -- - - for my system
here - - - and would be very interested in reporting any resultants from such
change.
Please and TIA
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. system with lxqt and using desktop switcher from lxqt-panel
2. set up 40 desktops
3. run with packages and stuff on most of the desktops
4. I get perhaps 10 days before the graphics system barfs.
OBSERVED RESULT
lxqt-panel no longer works
all packages and windows are piled on one virtual desktop
reboot clears the mess
EXPECTED RESULT
