System Freezes After KDE Plasma 6.3 Update

naim · February 16, 2025, 6:09am

Try with -5 or -6.

Maverick · February 16, 2025, 6:19am

I just tried -5 with color profile None. It took longer, but did lock up. Do you want me to try another version?

naim · February 16, 2025, 6:31am

Yeah, with the other versions up to 8 please.

naim · February 16, 2025, 6:47am

I’ve also pushed -9 in case all the other versions also lock up.

Maverick · February 16, 2025, 6:49am

Versions 5-8 all lockup with Color profile set to None. FYI, I haven’t had the version from the extra repo lockup yet. When I switch back to it I can test it some more.

Maverick · February 16, 2025, 6:50am

Ah, just saw this. Gimme a minute and I’ll test -9.

Maverick · February 16, 2025, 6:59am

No luck with -9.

naim · February 16, 2025, 7:00am

Yeah, it’s an upstream Kwin bug I guess. -9 is identical to Arch’s package except it was built with v3 and -O3. Let me know if you can reproduce the lockup with Arch’s package. Thanks.

If you can’t, I’ll do a build without compiler optimizations and see.

I don’t know if it helps, but I get the feeling that it happens when:

You have a window at the top of the screen
Click on the title bar and immediately try to drag up

At least that’s what I’ve noticed a few times during testing. It may not be definitive.

Hey @naim

I haven’t been able to reproduce the lockup with Arch’s package. I’ll keep trying, but maybe it’s a compiler optimization bug. Let me know when you’ve got a build without compiler optimizations that you’re ready for me to test.

naim · February 17, 2025, 1:29am

Sure thing, I’m building a kernel right now but I can build Kwin later. Thanks.

naim · February 17, 2025, 2:15am

-10 is up, please try

Maverick · February 17, 2025, 3:02am

-10 locks up. BTW, the -3 kwin package from the extra repo still hasn’t locked up.

naim · February 17, 2025, 4:56am

What about -11 from Nginx Directory

Maverick · February 17, 2025, 5:01am

@naim A quick question before I try -11.

I just upgraded my system except for kwin. I now notice that the extra repo no longer has -3 but -5 in it. So I assume after testing -11, I won’t be able to go back to -3 if the new -5 hangs?

naim · February 17, 2025, 5:03am

-5 from extra shouldn’t hang.

Maverick · February 17, 2025, 5:27am

-11 hung a couple of times, but it felt like it took more fidgeting with windows to get it to hang. Of course, it may have just been random.

Maverick · February 17, 2025, 5:52am

After testing -11, I installed 6.3.0-5 from extra/kwin. It’s hanging now. Interestingly, Octopi is showing that both extra/kwin and cachyos-v3/kwin are installed. Can I safely uninstall the -v3/kwin from Octopi?

naim · February 17, 2025, 1:57pm

I don’t think that’s true. It’s just parsing the version, which is the same for both. pacman -Qi kwin will show u which one is installed.

naim · February 17, 2025, 2:07pm

-12 is up, please try, thanks!
