--- Comment #10 from Sven Eden <sven.e...@gmx.de> --- (In reply to Martin Gräßlin from comment #7) > @Sven: because KWin writes out the current runtime configuration. It loads > with that from your config and writes it back. If you manually want to > change the config you need to stop KWin. I am very sorry that I did not make this clear enough. I'll try with a list of actions. - Machine booted to console after one of those crashes. - Edit ~/.config/kwinrc and set OpenGLIsUnsafe to "false" and GLPlatformInterface to "glx". (Without the quotation marks of course) - Start SDDM via xdm and log into Plasma. - Compositor is off, systemsettings5 states that it crashed kwin in the past. - Reactivate OpenGL detection. - All decorations disappear with kwin crashing. - Open Yakuake with F12 and "grep GLPlatform ~/.config/kwinrc" reveals, that it is back to "egl". So no, it did not write back a configuration it read, it just decided that egl is a good thing to use. I have scanned all my system and user files whether I have accidentally set KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE="egl" somewhere, but my search revealed nothing. So I have solved this particular part for me by simply adding KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE="glx" to the environment. I am back on mesa-12.0.4 and kwin uses the glx back end. Everything is stable. But another question: Is the "Standard Aurorae/QML" thing something that is worked on? Actually I do use Oxygen with Helium Design and air-oxygen decorations. It is okay if people like Breeze, but I do not. It is too flat, too monochromatic and is more in my way than it helps. The desings based on Breeze do not mix well with the Oxygen icons, and the breeze icons are a nightmare. It is like being back on an Amiga 500 Workbench 1.3 with a monochrome monitor. However, kwin crashes too with everything set to "Breeze" when mesa-13+ is installed. But I guess forcing "glx" might fix that, I'll try this out today and report back. Meaning: kwin-5.8.3 + mesa-13.0.1 + forced "glx" PlatformInterface + "Breeze everywhere". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
