So this is probably NOT the plasmashell issue. Next, I will try UXA. And after that I will try not using Chrome.
So I went onto UXA and found that Chrome, and apparently only Chrome, was getting some annoying blinking of the window header and tabs. I looked around in "Configure Desktop" and in Hardware > Display and Monitor found Compositor. The Rendering backend was set to OpenGL 2.0. I changed it to XRender and the blinking was fixed. Putting it here in case someone googles. As the hang was associated with Chrome, I now suspect that the hang, too, was linked to this incompatibility between Chrome (likely Chromium too) and OpenGL compositing. I will see if this current configuration can produce the hang over a good few hours of use. If it does not produce the hang, I will perhaps try bringing back SNA but keeping XRender compositing. UXA does not sem to affect 3D performance negatively. I do not see tearing in videos. Perhaps I'll benchmark 3D in UXA vs SNA one day. I have copied Jan Ritzerfeld as he seemed to have the same issue as I had. Jan - could you try changing Compositor to XRender and see if the issue goes away, too? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
