Spectacle crashes picom #48

Closed DesjardinsRepos closed 1 year ago

DesjardinsRepos commented 1 year ago

Basically the title, whenever spectacle starts its overlay picom crashes

info log (video) debug log (video)

Specs: Arch x64 i3-gaps rx 5700, xf86-video-amdgpu 22.0.0-1, mesa 22.1.7-1 picom-animations-git 1770_Next.208.g51b2135_2022.05.29-1 config glxinfo -B picom --diagnostics

Whoa, that's very weird.

Does this happen in upstream (current) Picom? Also, since we still haven't merged recent upstream commits, does this also happen in the latest upstream commit we have (cd50596, I think)?

DesjardinsRepos commented 1 year ago

Ive been trying to reproduce this issue for a few days now, turns out my script was calling picom with --experimental-backends enabled, which fixes these crashes.

Same behaviour on cd50596

I dont know if youre still working on the legacy backends, if not you can close this issue

dccsillag commented 1 year ago

Ah, nice catch! Yeah, we're not going to implement stuff on the legacy backends (especially considering that they aren't even the default anymore on upstream), so I'll be closing this.

Thanks for the notice!
