Bug ID: 485899
Summary: System-freeze when watching YouTube Videos in Firefox
or Chromium
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: phil...@schich.tel
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Watching YouTube videos in Firefox or Chromium completely freezes my system on
Plasma Wayland. Watching the same videos on the system system in a Gnome
Wayland session works without issues. Both browsers are configured to use
Wayland natively
When the system freezes no audio plays and I can't ssh into my machine
suggesting a complete lock-up. I haven't found useful logs of the incidents, no
coredumps in coredumpctl anything else useful to debug this, but it happens
very reliably, pretty much any video. The freeze doesn't happen at the same
point in the video everytime, sometimes sooner, sometimes later.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Plasma Wayland
2. Start Firefox and open YouTube
3. Watch any video (possibly in HD?)
OBSERVED RESULT
Sooner or later the system completely locks up.
EXPECTED RESULT
The system obviously shouldn't lock up.
