Hey, Since 30d2489930 in plasma-workspace, we're setting the QSG_RENDER_LOOP to "basic", if it's not specified otherwise by an env var. This has been done to prevent crashes in the threaded renderer, but unfortunately, it seems to come with its own set of problems: Plasma produces artifacts, high CPU load and grinds to a complete halt after a while.
I've tried setting the QSG_RENDER_LOOP to threaded, and that does indeed prevent those problems, but obviously, plasma-shell is more crashy with it. Now some of those crashes (at least one I've observed) is indeed in the scenegraph, but I've also seen other crashes (one in groupmanager of the taskbar, indirectly, not sure if that's related). I think we might need to revisit this patch, and find a "stable" way forward. Just switching to basic renderloop doesn't seem to be the solution. :/ Cheers, -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
