Bug ID: 363499 Summary: kwin occasionally restarts compositing and hangs Product: kwin Version: 5.5.5 Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: andy...@mail.ru Occasionally, I can see compositing being restarted at random actions, like opening or closing application windows. This can be seen as flickering semi-transparent panels on the desktop, as if the "Background contrast" effect has been disabled and re-enabled. One time kwin hung while doing this and stuck in an infinite loop, desktop unresponsive. I saved a few backtraces while it was hanging. They were the same, so I attached only one. strace only shows "clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {90155, 71576276}) = 0" call in a loop (the numbers change). Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I don't know a reliable way to reproduce this. Kubuntu 16.04, x86_64. Nvidia driver 367.18. The restarts also happened with 364.19. OpenGL interface: GLX, rendering backend: OpenGL 3.1. Desktop theme: Breeze, window decorations: org.kde.oxygen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
