[Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Hello,

I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.

I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:

"For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.

Desktop effect system is not running."

For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.

Any ideas?

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Some Extra information:
I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

A little more information:

Well, evidently the update was not as minor as I thought. I checked /var/log/pacman.log, and according to it, today I updated the following packages:

fftw
hplip
lightdm
liblightdm-qt4
nss
coreutils
kmod
libsystemd
libutil-linux
linux
util-linux
systemd
systemd-sysvcompat
tp_smapi
gdb
git

I may have easily missed something, so here is the log from today: http://pastebin.com/3jEBP60j If anyone needs more information, or the logs from further back, I'm happy to provide.

Well, it's obvious that this was not a minor update, and I should've read the logs more diligently. Aside from that conclusion, given that these packages have been updated, what can I do now? Is this an easy fix, or should I start filing bug reports and downgrade some of these packages in the meantime, or what?

Some of those KDE effects are fairly vital to my workflow,(desktop grid, for example.) so I'm grateful for any thoughts or suggestions at all that might help me get them back as soon as possible...

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

I have the same problem as you describe.

I tried to downgrade the latest packages and the problem persisted. Then I switched in the advanced settings - compositor type to xrender (worked), then to OpenGL 1.2 (worked), then to OpenGL 2.0 (worked), then OpenGL 3.1 (where it originally was before things broke) and it crashed.

I tried upgrading again and see if OpenGL 2.0 and earlier were working with latest packages, but they don't.

So it seems that there are 2 bugs. Some upgrade from some days ago seems to have broken OpenGL 3.1 (though I've tried a few downgrades from previous days and didn't find the cause). And then today's upgrades broke OpenGL altogether.

QT Graphics System was always set to Native.

(note: I couldn't find this thread at first. Maybe it should be moved to "Pacman and Package upgrade issues". There's where people look whenever an upgrade breaks something - at least that's what I do).

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Linux graphics stack relies on 3 components :
kernel
mesa / videocard driver
X

Of those 3 , the kernel is in the list :

[2014-04-09 20:32] [PACMAN] upgraded linux (3.13.8-1 -> 3.14-4)

I'd suggest to downgrade the kernel to verify if that's the cause.

Bogart : please comfirm whether you are using Intel graphics also ?

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Yes, I'm using Intel graphics. I downgraded the kernel (along with a few packages that might depend on the kernel version and were upgraded together, like bbswitch, systemd, coreutils, kmod...) and with that the problem is half fixed (effects work again, but only with OpenGL 2.0, not with OpenGL 3.1 as before).

I also tried downgrading other previous updates like xf86-video-intel, but I couldn't get OpenGL 3.1 to work for now.

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

It seems to be the same bug mentioned here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75723

Some Mesa bug triggered by some changes in kernel 3.14. There is a proposed patch that seems to fix the problem, but I didn't try it myself.

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Same problem here with my Thinkpad X200.
Video card is Intel as showed by lspci:

Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller

Downgrading the new kernel to the previous version as suggested by Lone_Wolf solved the problem.

[PACMAN] downgraded linux (3.14-4 -> 3.13.8-1) 

To downgrade the kernel look for an older version under /var/cache/pacman/pkg. In my case it is 3.13.8-1:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-3.13.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

And can you use OpenGL 3.1 after downgrading? For me it works good with OpenGL 2.0, but with 3.1 it still crashes (In "System settings > Desktop effects > Advanced > Compositor type").

It was showing OpenGL2.0. It set it to OpenGL 3.1 and KWin crashed but I left it with OpenGL 3.1. After a reboot it shows OpenGL 3.1.

Whenever I try to change the Compositing type or the Qt graphics system, KWin crashes.

And this is with kernel 3.13, right? So as with me, there seems to be 2 different bugs. The most important one is introduced with kernel 3.14 (though it's a Mesa bug, as explained in the bug report I linked above) that completely crashes Kwin with any OpenGL acceleration, but there's a previous recent bug that also causes instabiity (in my case it crashes Kwin only if I set it to OpenGL 3.1).

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Downgrading to Linux 3.13 fixed it for me as well, except for OpenGL 3. For now, I can manage fine with OpenGL 2.0, and this weekend when I'm not quite as dependent on my laptop, I'll try the temporary solution tomaszc suggested. Whatever cthulhu did, I'm not able to replicate to get to OpenGL 3.1, but I'll keep trying.

Quick Question: I've only been on arch for a few months, this is the first time I've had to downgrade anything, especially the kernel. Now that I have a solution that I can work with for now, should I go ahead and update the kernel when the newest version comes out, or should I just keep an eye on that bug report until they say it's solved?

Also, I saw that someone mentioned that this might've been better posted in pacman and upgrade issues - I'm not sure how to do that, but to any mods reading this, please tell me if I should've moved it, and how I can do so if you think I should.

I appreciate the help!

If you were using OpenGL 3.1, just downloading the kernel might not solve it. You have to go to System Settings > Desktop effects > Advanced > Compositor type and select OpenGL 2.0.

@TheGuyWithTheFace:

You should keep an eye on the bug report (and/or subscribe to this forum topic) before upgrading the kernel. About where to post it was me who suggested the other forum, but I think that a moderator should be able to tell you better than me.

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Temporary solution until the error will be fixed:

I got the exact same error as OP, and I can confirm that this solution works for me. I've been using Arch for close to a year now and I've never had to roll back any updates, let alone the kernel, so I figured I'd go for this solution first wink

Specs:

- Kernel: 3.14.0-5-ARCH (x86_64)
- ThinkPad T400
- Intel graphics
- KDE 4.12.4
- Compositing type: OpenGL 2.0 (might try with 3.1 later, just happy for now that things are working again)
- Qt graphics system: Raster

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

thanks itsjeyd, I'll try it soon. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the difference between Native and Raster Qt Graphics Systems? I'm on native right now, just mildly curious.

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

With the updated Mesa package (10.1.0-5) the bug is fixed.

I still can't use OpenGL 3.1 as I used to, but that is a different bug not introduced with the new kernel.

Re: [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

I can confirm that the upgrade to the latest mesa + Linux stack went smoothly, and so long as I stick to OpenGL 2.0, everything works fine. Note that this is without having to try the linked workaround - I assume the patch was merged upstream or something.

Thanks to everyone for your help!
