Description of problem: I use KDE. When I switch from GUI to VT2 console by Ctrl-Alt-F2, kwin process goes up to 100% CPU and stays there. When I switch from console (Alt-F1) back to GUI, kwin goes back to normal, everything seems to work fine. The steps are repeatable. The behaviour is the same with other VTs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde-workspace-4.11.5-1.fc20.x86_64 kdm-4.11.5-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always, see steps below. Steps to Reproduce: 1. GUI to VT2 (Ctrl-Alt-F2) -> kwin 100% CPU 2. VT2 to GUI (Alt-F1) -> kwin Normal 3. GUI to VT2 (Ctrl-Alt-F2) -> kwin 100% CPU 4. VT2 to GUI (Alt-F1) -> kwin Normal . . . Actual results: kwin eats 100% CPU. Expected results: kwin does not eat 100% CPU. Additional info: # lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 425M] (rev a1) Let me know if you need additional logs, what logs and how to generate them.
Not reproducible here, with 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c) may be a driver issue.
Sorry, I just found out that there is a strange trigger which is not easy to reproduce. After reboot everything works fine. Steps: 1. I have auto-login (user1) to GUI (VT1). 2. Open konsole, start top. 2. Login to VT2 also user1 - console only (not GUI). 3. Start top on VT2. 4. Switch randomly between VT1, VT2 and VT3 (nobody logged in) several times. Kwin runs normally. 5. Start firefox (VT1), play a Flash video. (Used this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRSZeTPQFAE) 6. Switch randomly between VT1, VT2 and VT3 several times. Kwin runs normally. Note: The sound from the Flash video is also present when running on VT2. There is no sound for VT3++. 7. Maximize/Full screen the Flash video. 8. Switch randomly between VT1, VT2 and VT3 several times. At some point it happens, kwin goes up to 99%CPU for VT2, VT3++. 9. Then Full screen can be left, the Firefox Tab with the Flash can be closed, even whole Firefox can be closed. Kwin still goes up to 99%CPU for VT2, VT3++ and goes back to normal for VT1. 10. Reboot fixes the problem. It seems that somehow the Full screened video plays role in triggering the issue, but I am not 100% sure. I was able to reproduce the issue also with user1 logged into KDE on VT1. Then after 'Switch User' user2 logged into KDE on VT2, steps same as above.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. 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 Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
