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.

That's a possibility, anyway, an user above reported the problem with urxvt + compositing, let's wait until next Nvidia release(i hope it arrive soon).

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

I think the resize bug is caused by this:

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

nvidia 270+ supports xorg-server 1.10, so it's not related to that.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Here it happens even when konsole has un-transparent background.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

hmmm... for me that happens with kde 4.6.2 and kernel 2.6.37 and appropriate nvidia driver.
But after to 2.6.38 and the appropriate nvidia version resizing konsole just makes screen to flicker intensively, but system won't freeze.

and here is error.log, generated after resizing

Apr 18 01:24:00 localhost kernel: NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0001 00000000 00005097 000015e0 00000000 00000100

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Same problem here on Arch Linux (x86-64).

nvidia 270.41.03-1
kernel26 2.6.38.2-1
xorg-server 1.10.1-1

GeForce 9500 GT

The problem happens when I resize konsole on KDE 4.6.2.

Exact same setup here. Same problem too.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Occasionally I also get those funny coloured dots all over the screen. Kind of reminds me when I used to try overclocking my old Riva TNT2 Model 64
Anyway, my computer has not crashed this often since the last time I ran Windows. (j/k, OS bashing is not funny...well maybe just a little)

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

My temporary solution: make Konsole unresizable. I know it's not optimal, but at least it saves me when I sometimes absentmindedly try to resize its window.

Right click on Konsole titlebar -> Configure Window Behaviour -> scroll down to -> Window Rules
Create a new rule for Konsole, make sure to select "Use window class" to affect all Konsole windows. Then in the rules:
Geometry tab -> check "Size" and change to "Force"
Workarounds tab -> check "Minimum size", "Maximum size" and "Strictly obey geometry" and change their drop-downs to "Force".

In my experience Windows 7 is just as stable as Linux these days. At the moment W7 > Arch if you have an Nvidia card.
But let's not forget Win9x and the horrible WinME

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Tactfully ignoring Wilco, I have noticed my computer locking up in the same way after leaving it idle for a while. Could be when the screensaver tries to activate. In this case even ssh doesn't work. For the meantime I have downgraded to the previous version of the nvidia driver but things still feel a bit flakey.
Overall I'm a bit disappointed in the stability of my system right now

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

I've had this problem as well, although it doesn't happen when I resize Konsole. I'm able to reproduce it if I'm in Firefox and I attempt to save an image. If I select "Save as..." and then attempt to browse for a folder to save the file, my computer will completely freeze every time. Once it also happened while I was in KMail, although I can't reproduce that. The error is as follows:
Apr 17 23:14:42 localhost kernel: NVRM: Xid (0000:02:00): 13, 0001 00000000 00005097 000015e0 00000000 00000100

I'm using the following:

KDE 4.6.2
nvidia 270.41.03-1
kernel26 2.6.38.2-1
xorg-server 1.10.1-1

* I experienced the error originally prior to upgrading my xorg-server. Once this began happening, I tried using the LTS kernel, and the error was still present.

I get the funny colored dots as well. But they are so much the system is unusable. They also appear on two other instances:
Watching something with mplayer, press volume key to adjust sound volume -> the volume popup messes up with mplayer and video is screwed. Doesn't happen with VLC.
Playing NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 under Windows -> occasionally messes up as well, video screws up, dots appear and restart is required.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Anyone know where the problem lies in?  xorg, nvidia, kde, kernel?
It didnt happen before recent nvidia, xorg or kernel upgrade iirc
I'm looking to workaround it by downgrading packages but i need to know which one cause the issue
(I almost broke my file system while trying to track it...)
At the moment i could only block konsole from resizing

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

There's a good workaround on the Bug (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23381):

Downgrade to:

• xorg-server-common 1.9.4.901-1

• xorg-server 1.9.4.901-1

• xf86-input-evdev 2.6.0-2

This will remove a couple of conflicting packages, which is fine.

Nothing else is downgraded on my machine.  This works perfectly for me and at least two other people so far.

confirmed it is fixed by:
downgraded to xorg-server 1.9.4.901-1 and xf86-input-evdev 2.6.0-2.
appears to be ok with this combination.

I also needed xf86-input-synaptics 1.4.0-1 to have a working touchpad.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Yes, according to the bug report the nVidia driver is freaking out and creating too many events, which causes an event buffer in Xorg to overflow.  It works OK with the older Xorg, though.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Is there an upstream bug report about this? I mean at nvidia.

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

I've mentioned the issue on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthr … ?p=2420546, but I'm not sure if that's the official place for bug reporting.  Is there a better place?

Re: KDE 4.6.2 - resize konsole freezes complete machine

Nvidia just released 270.4109 driver, hopefully it gets pushed to repos soon
New driver that just came out today for Arch still crashes Come on Nvidia fix it

Yep still broken, messed up shit

Disabling desktop effects works for me though on an x64 system. All the other packages are up to date
