Created attachment 1560828 [details]
systemd logs close to the moment where kwin wayland crashes

Description of problem:
Whenever the system has no connected monitor kwin_wayland segfaults. For example it is triggered when:
- all the monitors are plugged off
- the existing monitors are put into sleep mode by plasma
- the monitors are turned off (this is not reproducible with all my monitors just with one)

If you have two or more monitors applying the previous steps to all but one monitor does not lead to the crash.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.15.4


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a wayland plasma session
2. Unplug all the monitors
3. Plug back at least one monitor

Actual results: kwin segfaults and you are greeted with a black screen. The system is also not in a recoverable state (can't access any tty to restart plasma or take any action) the only option is to forcefully reboot it.


Expected results: kwin should not segfault


Additional info: 
Mesa 19.0.3-1
Plasma 5.15.4
KF5 5.57.0-2 (but reproducible also with 5.55 which is the current stable)
kernel 5.0.9-301
wayland 1.17.0-1

Graphic card: AMD Radeon RX 580

The attached systemd logs were reproduced with a single monitor which has then been unplugged leading to the segfault (note the part that says "requesting unexisting screen -1"):

This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '30'.

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 30 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.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2020-05-26 14:56:12 UTC
Fedora 30 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-05-26. Fedora 30 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.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
