KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Since KDE 4.6 trying to resize a konsole window by dragging the window edges results in a complete freeze of the machine. Only hard reset is possible to get out. Using Nvidia 270.30-4 and xorg-server 1.10.0.901-1

Xorg.0.log says:

[   240.070] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate 2D engine
[   240.070] (EE) NVIDIA(0):  *** Aborting ***
[   240.070] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate 2D objects

[   240.070] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Error recovery failed.
[   240.070] (EE) NVIDIA(0):  *** Aborting ***


Does anyone experience the same problem?

Yes,

Iḿ facing the same problem. Seems to be a known bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23381
But you can still ssh into your box. So no hard reset needed.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Cannot reproduce. Does it persist if you disable effects? Which graphics card/video driver?

I use acpid from this kind of things. tongue this will poweroff the machine normally. I tested it while using nvidia 270.30, but with xorg-server 1.9.5.
/etc/acpi/handler.sh

...
        case "$2" in
            PWRF)   logger "PowerButton pressed: $2"
                    /sbin/poweroff
            ;;
            *)      logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
        esac
...

Indeed, I do smile

Another daemon, pffff. I saw no need for acpid before but it seems to be useful in this special situation. Until now I was quite happy with the KDE powerdevil.

Thanks for your input

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

I reproduced that this is only happening with the nvidia driver from [testing]. Works fine with [extra] driver, also works fine with ATI Cards

Now this is happening too with the updated nvidia driver on [extra], i think we can just wait for an update from nvidia

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

I actually use Ubuntu but got hit by this bug on Natty with my nvidia video card. I had to disable Desktop Effects to get konsole not to crash upon resizing it. I tried disabling all the effects but konsole still crashes, the solution was to "Disable Desktop Effect" under the System Settings menu.

Not the "prettiest" solution but at least got konsole working. hope this helps until a fix comes along.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Same problem, not using testing only stable repositories. System up-to-date and using Nvidia

Disabling composition (desktop effects in KDE) solves the situation.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

I don't think Konsole is a factor. I had the same problem with latest KDE with [testing] enabled and resizing urxvt with compositing on also crashed.

The problem is the Nvidia Binary driver (270.41.03 for me), i tried with xf86-video-nouveau and nouveau-dri without problems, the bad side is that nouveau performance on KDE isn't very good, so we have to wait for and Nvidia Propietary release  : /

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Same problem here!
The problem is not only with konsole, but also with windows having transparent areas! So, when i switched (for testing purposes) to Oxygen-transparent theme, I could not perform a single window resize!!!

Magic Sysreq dont work either? It one can ssh, they should be able to REISUB as well.

I also have bad experience with the new 270.* nvidia driver, not the same phenomena, but I think this might be related, as disabling composite solves the problem:

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

On top of that, exposing the cube (Ctrl+F11) and then selecting a desktop also causes a crash....

That desktop cube crash has been present on earlier driver releases...i think might be related, i hope nvidia fix this issues soon...

Even with no effects resizing Konsole triggers the bug also. Very annoying. I just installed gnome 3.....

This issue isn't really a good reason for a DE change, anyway i have my Desktop Effects activated, I only have to be careful to DO NOT RESIZE konsole until Nvidia fix this...

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

btw, yakuake works as usual. I can maximize, change it's size... Yakuake bypasses kwin, so maybe bug is not in nvidia driver, but in kwin?
Moreover, I hadn't experienced that bug when used kde 4.6.1.
