Plasma workspace freezing

Hello all,

I’m running KDE, Wayland and Nvidia drivers. (latest 555)
While working it’s very common for the UI to freeze, like pressing the hotkey for the start menu, it pops up but then it freezes. Sometimes it helps to trigger some form of refresh like windows key + D and it will unfreeze. (Not always)
It’s very hard to reproduce but now I have a 100% case which just requires KDEnlive.

When I render out a short video, a notification is presented with a progress bar. Once that is finished, the whole desktop is frozen. Ever application still works but everything that involves Plasma is dead. KRunner (alt + space) still works though but taskbar, startbar, top bar. All frozen.

Now I had my fair share of problems with KDE and Wayland, basically I never got it really working at an acceptable rate. I’ve tried to find similar topics and freezing is quite common but then they are related to KDE5, are years old, not about Wayland, etc…

I just wanna know if I’m the only one who has this problem because when I read about others experience, it seems so, although I find that very unlikely.

And apart from that, how do I go about solving this problem. Logs, debug, etc…

Thanks!

The problem is with Wayland. X11 runs fine.

Then use x11 :slight_smile:
Problems with nvidia and wayland are well known, there are several threads about it.

Hi. I just created an account since I was searching for this specific issue and landed here.
I am having the same issue. If X11 is the solution why is everyone ditching it for Wayland? Apologies if that comes off as snarky. It is a genuine question. It comes off as “My Mustang is stalling. The Prius doesn’t stall. Drive the Prius then”.
Yeah I get to work that way but it doesn’t fix the Mustang.

I would prefer figuring out why this is happening on Wayland and fixing it if possible. This only started happening about a week ago. I deleted my
plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file thinking that might fix it if it was a plasma issue but it still persists.

Here is my Inxi out:

Falling back to X11 is a workaround for folks who are stuck on Nvidia hardware. Outside of that group of users, the transition to Wayland seems to be going relatively well as far as I can tell.

Just anecdotally, many of us have been happily using Wayland for years.

This analogy isn’t quite right. Switching the display server protocol isn’t comparable to switching to a whole different car. It’s more like switching a single component in your car.

To straighten out your analogy, it would be more like there is a new high-performance air intake system available for Mustangs. It’s better than the old intake system so a lot of Mustang owners are switching.

However, you also installed a high-flow fuel pump on your Mustang. After some testing, it turns out when this component is combined with the new air intake system, the imbalance between the air and fuel mix causes the engine to run too rich and leads to stalling issues.

The manufacturers are aware of the issue and they are working on some changes that will allow the two components to be installed together, but that may take some time. The simplest solution in the meanwhile is to hold off on installing the new air intake system until it is compatible with your other custom components.

This is why:

You probably won’t be able to fix it unless you are a Nvidia developer. You could try your luck with the beta drivers or another kernel…but other than that you probably just need to wait for the issue to be addressed upstream.

And you paid how much for Plasma versus the Mustang?

Talk to the KDE developers, else you’re just pissin’ in the wind.
