Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

I have this recurring issue where, seemingly at random, some of my open windows will become corrupt and unresponsive. This seems to be triggered by Steam, but I cannot say this conclusively.

Here is my system journal, which I managed to capture immediately after it occurred.

Not all of my windows become corrupt, but it consistently affects Steam and some terminal emulators (kitty, ptyxis)

Any assistance diagnosing this problem would be much appreciated.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

What GPU? Are you running out of VRAM? Please use [ code ] not [ quote ] for outputs. After reproduction what link do you get from 

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Have an RX 6700 XT, and this occurs regardless of my VRAM usage. I have also run out of VRAM before without having this issue.

Here is the complete log for my previous boot, which this occurred towards the end: http://0x0.st/8oaK.txt

As mentioned above though, the log I grabbed is from exactly when it occurred. It started with my Steam window closing and reopening (changing screens), and being corrupted.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Few things to try, redshift is dying left and right, can you reproduce without it? gamemode might have an effect can you reproduce without it? Lately xf86-video-amdgpu started showing some issues, can you reproduce without it? Other than that have you e.g. tested a wayland session? did this happen recently? Which windows show corruptions? Potentially an issue with the change to a vulkan renderer on GTK4, you might want to try and export 

GSK_RENDERER=ngl

globally to check whether there's a relation.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Thank you for the detailed explanations. I can try to reproduce without redshift, though I've seen similar error logs with it for a long time despite it working without issue. It is also the primary reason I use X11. I can try reproducing without it.

In terms of gamemode, I wasn't even aware I had it, so I am removing it.

In terms of xf86-video-amdgpu, is it problematic to remove it? I am unclear for which circumstance it is required, as the wiki just describes 2D acceleration. I would have assumed this meant it was needed.

This happened only a few hours ago, and the main windows affected were Steam, and terminal emulators including ptyxis and kitty, but not gnome-terminal. I believe other apps such as discord and freetube (electron apps?) were also affected. Unaffected apps include Firefox and obsidian. The gnome system monitor was also affected.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

That likely rules out a GTK4 renderer inference, but 2D corruptions tied to xf86-video-amdgpu are a possibility. Assuming you didn't create custom config that explicitly sets amdgpu options for e.g. TearFree or so, removing it will make xorg fall back to the modesetting driver, which is generic and does 2D accel via standard OpenGL means, so the specific xorg drivers are not strictly necessary anymore. And they generally are less and less tested since most focus will be on either wayland or the modesetting driver.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Just reproduced it, so now I am trying with xf86-video-amdgpu removed.

I did also try launching different apps with the GSK_RENDERER=ngl flag, which still resulted in corrupted windows (not sure if it needs to be global)

Here is the trimmed log for the most recent incident:

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Next to your X11 gnome session you're also running GDM on wayland - what if you switch that, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Use_Xorg_backend ?

There's a shitload of 

Jan 14 10:47:23 arch-desktop gnome-shell[1820]: cogl_framebuffer_set_viewport: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed

in the journal, so soemthing seems to try to operate on a zero-space.

Can you trigger the problem w/ "xset dpms force off" (and waiting briefly before you wiggle the mouse to reactivate the outputs)?

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Just tried "xset dpms force off", and this did not trigger it.

I'll test switching GDM to X11 later once I have to logout.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Any other discernible pattern as to *when* this happens?
Can you capture it on a screenshot?
Does it help to resize the window - or toggle its fullscreen mode (in the hopes it gets un- and then re-redirected after some seconds)?

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

The only 'pattern' I have discerned is that it seems to more often happen if I leave Steam open for a while.
Not sure a screenshot would be helpful, as the corrupted windows seem to grab whatever other parts of the desktop are in the frame buffer (i.e. they show static images of other parts of my desktop)
I cannot interact with these windows in any way, as they are completely frozen, and I am eventually prompted to wait or force-quit the applications. Force-quitting makes no difference as new instances are still corrupted upon opening.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

happen if I leave Steam open for a while

In fullscreen mode?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/ … D_Graphics - disable unredirection

grab whatever other parts of the desktop are in the frame buffer (i.e. they show static images of other parts of my desktop)

Force-quitting makes no difference as new instances are still corrupted upon opening.

Next time this happens dump the output of "ps aux", the process might be in an IO deadlock or SIGSTOP'd - it seems beyond implausible that whatever harms process X will also affect process Y so most likely nothing is ever quit here.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

No fullscreen mode, and I don't have any special xorg configs (e.g. tearfree) enabled.
I'll run the command if and when it happens again.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

The idea was actually to disable the fullscreen unredirection (not so much because of tearing but because of the un/redirection itself) - let's see what the process list shows…

Still happening. Here is the output of ps aux:

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Nothing in T, two kworkers in D state (I don't think that's really relevant) - did you at this point already try to kill the affected process?

Random observations:
1. redshift (doesn't gsd-color do the same?) - try to omit that :\
2. there're 3(!) xbindkeys processes? (it would be an absolute kick-ass bug if the locked each other around server grabs, but the limited impact doesn't suggest that - unfortunately)

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

When I get the chance I'll test out without redshift. Unfortunately gsd-color sucks by comparison.
Killed the xbindkeys processes, so I will await to see if that makes a difference.

I did try killing the affected processes, but even after doing so, opening new windows with them still have the same issue.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

I did try killing the affected processes

And they also no longer show up in the process list?

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Had it happen again. Steam was not open when this occurred. I was away from my PC so I'm not sure when it happened. I will note that I haven't had steam open in a while, so it seems to have occurred much less often as a result.

Here's my log for the day http://0x0.st/88JQ.txt

That log is 300MB… most of that is spam from discord and (to a MUCH lesser extent) rtkit

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

cogl_framebuffer_set_viewport: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed

is frequent

gnome-shell[1805]: Can't update stage views actor unnamed [MetaSurfaceActorX11] is on because it needs an allocation.

is at 15:17 and 15:07 somewhat along 

Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0

The recent and isolated issue is 

Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Set global engine failed: Operation was cancelled

apparently triggered by ibus, what if you switch to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Input_method#Xim ?

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

As an aside, a couple of these are old, known X11-specific issues which shouldbe™ harmless and are unlikely to be addressed.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

Interesting. I didn't know I could switch inputs methods. I'll try switching to Xim and see what happens.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

After reading into it, do I even need ibus? I only type in English and French, the only package I have that depends on it (optionally) is zoom.

Re: Window corruption on Gnome (X11, likely triggered by Steam)

No idea about you, but I don't need it.
If there's no hard dependency, maybe get rid of it, but the environment variables should™ do.
(I was under the impression it to be a hard dep for anything gnome, no?)

Next question is whether it does anything about the problem.
