Hi, Anyone else experiencing the window decorations disappearing just as the "kwin_x11" process stops? This is happening quite often in Tumbleweed. I this a normal to have a separate process just for just for the decorations. Cheers!

I find it while using ksysguard. ksysguard sits on my panel for fast access. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Well, I prefer htop, but have started an instance and will allow it to run for a while and report if I see visual abnormalities. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Understood. I don't see this in Leap. Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

The thing with kwin_x11, you have to go into systemsettings5 and open a number of windows. Do some extra clicking for it to stop. You can't just sit and wait for it to stop :-) Cheers!

Hopefully this will be fixed soon. Is there another way of restarting it without continually logging out and logging in? -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hmm, most of the other "window managers" have a "--replace" option. Try "kwin_x11 --help" in a terminal to get a short help, if there is such a option try to use it in a "kde run command" (Alt-F2) or (Win+R) That should start kwin_x11 in a way that it replaces the earlier, stopped version. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I think it should be: kwin_x11 --replace &. Daniele. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hi,

Anyone else experiencing the window decorations disappearing just as the "kwin_x11" process stops? This is happening quite often in Tumbleweed. I this a normal to have a separate process just for just for the decorations.

Even worse, plasma shell often freezes on my system. Do you have desktop effects enabled? Someone suggested, the blur effect could cause plasma freezes. Below is a short shell script, I mapped this script to ctrl-alt-p and whenever plasma freezes, I press ctrl-alt-p and the desktop gets reset. Before pressing ctrl-alt-p to executy the script I sometimes need to wait a second, sometimes have to press twice. #!/bin/sh pkill -KILL plasmashell pkill -KILL kwin_x11 DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/plasmashell & DISPLAY=:0 kwin_x11 --replace & -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I'll try it out and report back. I'm using an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS card. Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
