[opensuse] Leap 42.2 - xf86-video-intel - plasmashell freezing on notifications
Hi *, after a few months the problem still exists, even with the latest kernel, the latest X server and Mesa packages and the latest KDE Frameworks5 packages. So I dare to ask again: On one of my machines (Lenovo T420 notebook) I have a problem with plasmashell freezing often when a notification is shown. The notification frame shows up, but no content and then the complete desktop freezes. Killing and restarting plasmashell cures the problem for a short time - til one of the the next notifications wants to display something. It doesn't happen for all notifications, though. Using tools like notify-send the problem can not be reproduced, but notifications stemming from plasma-nm and plasma-workspace itself (like the one for a removed plasmoid) always lead to the freeze. The system originally was openSuSE Leap 42.2, but because of the problem I upgraded step by step to - the latest kernel from the kernel stable repo, - the latest X server plus everyting from the X11:Xorg repo - and the latest plasma workspace including everything from the KDE:Framework5 repo. The problem remained unchanged, though. A few more facts: - The X server is xf86-video-intel. - Switching to the modesetting driver doesn't help. - Switching off the compositor doesn't help either. - Everything worked with Leap 42.1 - No according entry in the journal or .xsession-errors* can be found. - Logging off or restarting the machine doesn't help in case the problems exists at that time. - *Switching off notifications completely cures the problem.* In found a few bug reports for plasma freezes, but none of them seems to fit exactly. Can I debug it and if so, how? TIA. Bye. Michael. -- Michael Hirmke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
