Bug ID: 408754
Summary: kwin-5.16.0: GUI (Wayland) freezes
Product: kwin
Version: 5.16.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: b...@ubhofmann.de
Target Milestone: ---
I use KDE plasma in Wayland mode (kwin is the Wayland compositor) on Gentoo
Linux.
Last week I updated to:
- kde-plasma 5.16.0
- kde-frameworks 5.59.0
- kde-apps 19.04.2
After that, my screen randomly froze once or twice a day.
Today I found out that I can trigger a freeze by starting Wireshark-3.0.2 from
konsole: GUI freezes, mouse disappears, top shows 100% CPU for
/usr/bin/kwin_wayland, Alt-Ctrl-Fn or Ctrl-BS don't work.
I downgraded kde-plasma/kwin to 5.15.5 (only this package). I haven't had any
freezes since then and I can start Wireshark-3.0.2 without problems.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login as ordinary user on Linux TTY console
2. Start GUI (KDE Plasma) with 'startx'
3. open a konsole terminal
4. enter 'wireshark'
5. GUI freezes, mouse disappears, top shows 100% CPU for /usr/bin/kwin_wayland
