Perhaps Ubuntu/Kubuntu installs libraries to a different path from most distros, causing the KWin-lowlatency backends to be installed to a wrong directory and thus causing version conflicts when started which causes the crashes?
Try using:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
instead of
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=lib -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
?
Wait. Can you please print the output of ls /usr/lib
?

Of course. Attached is the output. usrlib_out.txt
Can you print the output of:
cd /usr/lib
find | grep kwin
? This is most likely the final step before I can fix README.md for (K)Ubuntu

Yup, cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
should do. Can you try using that in your build dir, making again and installing? If it works after that, I'm updating the readme.
That fixed it for me. Thanks so much for you help and this great patch!
No problem. Reopening because I still need to update the readme.
Done. Closing.
Hi,
I apologize in advance if Kubuntu/Ubuntu is not supported. I recently compiled and installed kwin-lowlatency with all required dependencies installed. There were no issue during installation but I found that I cannot enable the compositor anymore. Every time I turn on the compositor, kwin crashes several times and reverts to running without a compositor.
I am using Kubuntu 19.04, the latest kwin-lowlatency (5.16.2) and nvidia 430 drivers. I used the repo clone step to get the source and compile it.
Attached is my kwin crash backtrade: kwin_x11-20190628-133015.kcrash.txt.
Thanks
