 Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2016 8:15 am Post subject: Plasma Desktop graphics hang |
 |
|
Hello!
Since a couple of days, the graphics of my Plasma Desktop sporadically hang, like in this screenshot:
http://imgur.com/vh7Zufo
So the loasing splash stays in the background, rendering the workspace (or whatever in english) useless. Sometimes the taskbar also freezes. This leads to the clock not ticking any more ore the window overview does no longer update or sometimes even hangs when a new window comes, like Okular in the screenshot.
I think maybe I have screwed some configuration, so I already tried to reset the Plasma configuration by deleting plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and plasmashellrc but it made no difference. Or could this be an other problem?
I am running Gentoo ~amd64 with linux-4.4.0-gentoo-r1 and Plasma 5.5.4 from the KDE overlay. I will provide further information if necessary.
Thank you for helping me out! |

| I ran into that issue too recently. What worked here was to delete the .kde4 folder. You'll have to configure everything over again though. |

What (version of) graphics driver are you using?
@Tolstoi: That would be strange, since Plasma-5 does not use the .kde4 directory. |

I know it's strange but it worked.
I've got x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.99.917_p20160203 running. |

| Sorry, I'm sure I deleted files and or folders from the .config directory. |

It's not perhaps related to this bug I recently filed - is it? dev-qt/qt*:5 - Enhancement: +egl , +opengl USE flags function are quite ambiguous
If you build dev-qt/qt*:5 with USE flag +egl,+gles2 then you disable Desktop OpenGL support... 
I think there's also an issue with the newest Nvidia drivers that might cause this effect... What GPU + driver are you using (are you using Optimus / Prime?)
A bit more information would really help - you haven't even supplied an:
dump... Hence why your post is getting ignored (hint  )

I am using an optimus notebook with Intel and nVidia. I have installed bumblebee so that the nvidia graphics gets shut down properly. The nouveau driver is installed but not loaded.

Do you know what files you deleted? Is there any way to get to know which program a file belongs to?

Perhaps. But for now, the problem seems to be solved by switching Plasma to GLX. If I find the time this evening, I will see if I get any difference with the older driver.
Anyway, is there any advantage or disadvantage for choosing GLX or EGL? |

Or maybe this?

Maybe we should post it on Gentoo buglist? |

That setup will break Qt5 GL support / Plasma 5 compositing with the nvdia proprietary driver. Did you not read what I said. I spent 2 weeks trying to unravel the mess I made of things. I'm trying to save you the pain !! gles2 support is for tablets and mobile stuff...

Bob - could you explain more about this egl and gles2 USE flags. So if I use Plasma5 and Nvidia Optimus - do I need them?
I putted those flags in make.conf files long time ago, so I am bit confused what to do now. |

| Well, egl and gles2 are the recommended settings upstream, and it works very well, at least with non-Nvidia hardware. |

Okay but we are talking about a toolkit that still has a few (cough) bugs left.  My understanding was that these make flags "work" now - that's not exactly a recommendation!!
I've tested out egl / gles2 support personally (by accident actually). I can therefore report that it really did not play well with the latest Nvidia drivers (I'm using a GTX 970M btw - the Intel GPU is disabled in the EFI firmware). That's half the battle for a working Nvidia Optimus setup - lost at the first gate!
- This setup (dev-qt/*:5 +egl +gles2) appears to expose a bug 572274 in the Gentoo eselect-opengl implementation - whereby the system links EGL libraries from both mesa and nvidia simultaneously. That's probably what causing the sddm/Plasma splash screen to stay in place (been there, done that, got the T-shirt).
- Even working around bug 572274 (I've actually re-written the eselect-opengl support - with some experimental packages - which are in my Overlay) - you still end up with broken Kwin desktop effects - when running Plasma 5 with the Nvidia proprietary driver and dev-qt/*:5 +egl +gles2.
Obviously I can't comment about Intel GPU support for EGL - Intel GPU free here...
