Kwin crashing when exiting World of Warcraft Classic #45

Closed Odzinic closed 4 years ago

Odzinic commented 4 years ago

I've been having consistent crashes due to a seg fault when exiting World of Warcraft Classic while it is in fullscreen. I mistakenly sent a bug report to KDE bugtracking before remembering that I'm using kwin-lowlatency. The bug report contains a backtrace and system info. I'm not sure if this is specific to only World of Warcraft Classic but it has been occurring consistently while playing it through multiple Wine versions.

Let me know if I can provide some more information.

No, sorry. I cannot work on this right now. I am busy with so many things that I simply cannot keep up.

In the meanwhile, run kwin_x11 under gdb over SSH (there is another bug report that has instructions on how to do that) and when it reaches SIGSEGV do backtrace and post here.

In the meanwhile the compositor will keep crashing until I have time to look at it.

Here is the bug report that has backtrace instructions: https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency/issues/35

OK, so I have added a line of code to check whether the backtrace is right. Can you please run KWin again, make it crash, and then check whether you see EMERGENCY: ...? how did we reach here? in the console?

What?

Does it not crash anymore?

@tildearrow Apologies if that was not the right way of dealing with the issue. I stopped playing the game shortly after making this issue and no longer pay subscription so I can't test it out. Felt bad keeping it as an open issue that I can't test and no one else has commented on.
