Description Vincent Schut 2025-04-24 15:23:43 UTC
After upgrading from F41 to F42, kwin_wayland crashes. Downgrading kwin from kwin-6.3.4-3.fc42 to kwin-6.3.4-1.fc42 fixes the issue.

Fedora system is up-to-date.

This is an issue in Qt, reassigning.

Comment 3 Mark Pearson 2025-04-30 02:30:48 UTC
Tested on T14s G5 (don't have a P14s I'm afraid - but it's the same MTL device). My system has a different panel (2880x1800~120Hz)
Mine is from a fresh install, not an upgrade. Not seeing any issues - system is working nicely

From the above I see nouveau is being used - does the system have an Nvidia card? Anything interesting in the kernel logs related to that? The nouveau driver is in much better shape than it used to be...but still has issues.

Comment 6 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 12:43:58 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '42'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
