Description Sid Boyce 2010-08-31 20:54:03 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

The system is booted into KDE, the mouse pointer moves but clicking or keyboard input does not work. I can ssh in from another machine and do commands, though after a while it freezes.
From dmesg:
[  129.090180] kwin_opengl_tes[4450]: segfault at 3d4 ip 00007f9e53c2f171 sp 00007fff1c1ee5b0 error 4 in ld-2.11.2.so[7f9e53c1c000+1f000]

Alt-SYSRQ-B sometimes causes a reboot, other times it takes a hardware reset.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up and login to KDE.
2. Boot up and trying GNOME, desktop never comes up.
3.
Actual Results:  
Desktop freeze.

Expected Results:  
Normal operation.

Same problem with the previous 2.6.34-11-default.

With GNOME, the desktop never starts, just the background and live mouse pointer.

Comment 2 Lubos Lunak 2010-09-01 11:03:52 UTC

This can be pretty much everything including faulty hardware.

Comment 3 Wei Wang 2010-09-02 05:17:18 UTC

please  attach /var/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Xorg start up log 

No problem with ICEWM

Comment 5 Forgotten User K-uAvjqJ3n 2010-09-03 12:20:24 UTC

I can get into plasma desktop by logging into icewm or failsafe and using the xterm console and entering plasma-desktop. bu no kwin. kwin fails and throws me back to the log in screen. This happens with an upgrade too. I upgraded to kde 4.6 and that works.

Installing the -debug* packages mentioned in this log would help a lot here.

Comment 8 Sid Boyce 2010-09-03 21:55:11 UTC

I still get the error in dmesg after using the repo
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/SC/openSUSE_Factory/
I am now using xorg.conf with
sepulot:~ # grep radeon /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        Driver      "radeon"
        Driver      "radeon"
sepulot:~ # lsmod|grep kms
drm_kms_helper         28085  1 radeon
drm                   196572  5 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_core               23393  6 i2c_dev,videodev,radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit

However, KDE comes up and doesn't freeze. Without xorg.conf it freezes.

plasma has always been up when the error occurred, so does kwin.

Without these packages installed I can't help here. I'm sorry.

Comment 11 Larry Finger 2011-02-20 17:21:03 UTC

This bug reviewed as part of Open-Bugs-Day Feb. 20,2011.

As there has been no action on this Bug for about 5 months, and this reported has been using KDE with 11.4 RC1 without this kind of problem, I'm marking it RESOLVED+NORESPONSE. If it still is valid, please REOPEN.
