Description of problem: Open application. Click on GUI. Machine freezes - power off required Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdenlive 20.08.01 libwayland-cursor-1.18.0-1.fc32.x86_64 Linux localhost.localdomain 5.8.12-200.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 28 12:17:31 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Qt Version: 5.14 (qt5-qtbase-common-5.14.2-5.fc32.noarch) System is i7/nVidia; Fedora/Gnome/Wayland/Nouveau How reproducible: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kdenlive 20.08.1 2. Click on the Logging, Editing, Audio, Effects, Color items in the top right of the GUI 3. Wait a couple of moments Actual results: Mouse movement ceases, keyboard unresponsive. Last resort - pull power This happens of 3 different Fedora 32 installations. One on a i7/nVidia/nouveau another Core 2 Duo/Intel VGA and another on i5/Intel VGA Expected results: Application continues running, does not reduce the machine to inoperable state Additional info: This has been reported to the RPMFusion Bugzilla who determined that this looks like a Wayland issue. Starting the application under X.org is successful confirming this suspicion. (https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5783) journalctl has these kinds of messages Oct 06 14:17:30 localhost.localdomain kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: PBDMA0: 00200000 [ILLEGAL_MTHD] ch 12 [004f042000 kdenlive[7106]] subc 0 mthd 0004 data 00000040 Oct 06 15:18:54 localhost.localdomain kdenlive[48817]: qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate() Whatever happens the machine gets eaten alive such that the mouse and keyboard cease working. In 20 years using linux I've never had a situation where the only option is to pull the power.
