Bug ID: 475190
Summary: Toggling Fullscreen on Plasma Wayland Session crashes
i915 DRM
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.8
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: wayland
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: platform-drm
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sooma...@proton.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When toggling a window to fullscreen in Plasma Wayland Session, there is a
chance that the screen freezes, glitches or starts flickering. Nothing crashes
and the system will still respond to input, but thanks to the screen glitches,
the system is unusable. The screen, in rare occasions, returns to normal after
a few seconds, but recovery is exceptional and inconsistent.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Firefox in plasma wayland session. (Or/and your favorite application.
Firefox makes it most consistent for me, but other applications also do the
trick.)
2. Toggle Fullscreen. For Firefox, press F11. In general, press Alt+F3 > M > F
4. The screen glitches, freezes dark or flickers.
(Not totally consistent and seems to occur with different likelihood with
different windows. Trying a few more times with different windows usually does
the trick. I have succeeded with dolphin, konsole, emacsclient too, but less
consistently. In an imprecise manner, it seems that the more complicated
windows trigger the issue more easily.)
OBSERVED RESULT
The window becomes fullscreen. Then the screen glitches, freezes or starts to
flicker.
The following error is produced upon glitching in the kernel log.
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Timed out waiting PSR idle state
On the first time this glitch happens, it also produces the following error:
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun: port,transcoder,
Nothing crashes and no further errors are produced
The screen may or may not recover from the glitch after toggling off
fullscreen, closing the window or waiting a few seconds.
The system remains responsive to inputs. Switching to another TTY does NOT
resolve the issue, but one may then Ctrl-Alt-Del to perform a normal reboot.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window becomes fullscreen.
