Description EpicTux123 2024-05-16 22:07:20 UTC
Recently, KWin packages were updated, but the "kwin-x11" package remains on an "old" version (not sure how to describe it), but what I can say is that the new update is causing issues. Compositor crashes and alerts about OpenGL backend crash.

Downgrading to "6.0.3.1-2.fc40" for other "kwin*" packages ("6.0.3.1-1.fc40" for "kwin-x11", specifically) fixes the issue.

kwin.x86_64, kwin-common.x86_64, kwin-libs.x86_64 and kwin-wayland.x86_64 latest version: 6.0.4.1-3.fc40

kwin-x11.x86_64 latest version: 6.0.4.1-1.fc40

Judging by the commits:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kwin/commits/f40

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kwin-x11/commits/f40

It seems this one is causing issues:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kwin/c/38060ccda3e68421c478808dfb9f2e5ca58d9f29?branch=f40

Because it doesn't seem, at first glance, that there was any other commit so "significant" that it could have caused any problem. I don't know exactly; that's just a guess.

I'm on NVIDIA with X11.

Thank you for your attention.

Also causes problems in other apps when the compositor is dead (such as Steam).

dnf install link_to_rpm 

should work , and be enough to test
