After update to KDE Plasma 6 random freezes for 4-10 seconds

Marc_Serra_Fontfreda · March 3, 2024, 10:30am

I’m using KDE Neon with X11 and KDE Plasma 6. All system updated.

My problem is like KDE Plasma completely freezes in fullscreen except cursor but with some diferences:

This has start just after update to KDE plasma 6. No problem the other 4 month since I’ve received this laptop.
I’m using Mesa Intel Graphics. Integrated video card, not Nvidia.
I’m using X11 instead of Wayland (I need ksnip rectangular screenshots feature, that not compatible with wayland)

An example of journalctl -b (the freeze was between 11:15:07 and 11:15:14):

I’ve noticed that if I type something with the keyboard while the freeze is in progress, when I regain control of the system, what I typed is saved.

Any idea?

makosol · March 3, 2024, 12:14pm

Same thing here with same config.

Marc_Serra_Fontfreda · March 4, 2024, 7:40am

Does it happen to anyone else?

Another hint… if I’m watching a streaming video, when the freeze appears the video is blocked, but the audio is still heard.

meven · March 4, 2024, 10:10am

You can try spectacle, it offers this feature in Wayland just fine.

tecnicocefet · March 4, 2024, 10:26am

Exactly what is happening to me. Same setup here

Marc_Serra_Fontfreda · March 4, 2024, 12:52pm

Thank’s but I already tried spectacle. It doesn’t have an indispensable feature for me: tabs. Sometimes I need to take 10 o 15 rectangular screenshots quickly and after paste them in (sometimes) a different order.

meven · March 4, 2024, 2:32pm

Spectacle allows to ‘Save’ with one click, then you can use dolphin/gwenview or any other app to select the screenshot you want.
It also has a ‘Copy’ that copies to clipboard, or you can set a setting in general so that after taking a screenshot it copies to clipboard directly.
That’s the best I can suggest to you to align a bit with your workflow.

The rectangular area screenshot code is a bit complicated at the moment. A bit hard to integrate to ksnip, we’d want to improve our API.

The X11 freeze should be fixed in Plasma 6.0.1, in a few days (481721 – kwin_x11 compositor screen freeze (regression from kwin 5))

Marc_Serra_Fontfreda · March 4, 2024, 3:02pm

Yes, I know, and I’ve actually already given Spectable a shot, but it’s not as snappy as Ksnip’s tabs.

Thanks for the comment. Any way to track progress? I’m sorry, but I’m not a developer and I can’t help so much.

Great news! Thank you!

tecnicocefet · March 4, 2024, 3:03pm

It happens the same and I suspect it has to do with the video card driver.

meven · March 6, 2024, 8:25am

Don’t hold your breath on it, there are no plans and this is not a reported bug AFAICT.
Reporting it as a bug would be useful.

Marc_Serra_Fontfreda · March 6, 2024, 9:10am

Ok, I will but where? at kde bug tracker? or at ksnip issues?

If is the second case, there are a few already opened:

Support Capture Rectangular Area for Wayland · ksnip/ksnip · Discussion #884 · GitHub (where @apol and @ngraham already commented)
No "rectangle area" screeshot option in ksnip-1.9.1-continuous-x86_64.AppImage · Issue #660 · ksnip/ksnip · GitHub

meven · March 6, 2024, 9:15am

I did not know/remember about those.

rbits · March 7, 2024, 9:50am

The X11 freeze should be fixed in Plasma 6.0.1, in a few days (481721 – kwin_x11 compositor screen freeze (regression from kwin 5) )

6.0.1 has been released, does anyone know when KDE Neon will get the update? If it doesn’t release soon I will have to roll back to a timeshift snapshot, I can’t deal with freezes every minute or two

Andrew_G · March 7, 2024, 2:09pm

This motivated me to move to Wayland - and was pleasantly surprised that everything’s working quite nicely there. (Including the new Spectacle screenshot features that some have mentioned.)

jacekrz · March 12, 2024, 10:06am

I happens the same to me, no matter if it is X11 or Wayland session. Random freezes 3-10 seconds. My machine is Lenovo Yoga with Intel integrated graphics:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Lenovo TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]
I use KDE Neon distribution. On Plasma 5 all works fine.

jacekrz · March 13, 2024, 1:06pm

Last update to Plasma 6.02 repairs this bug. I work all day and didn’t have any freeze.

tecnicocefet · March 13, 2024, 1:24pm

exactly! After this update it no longer freezes

Marc_Serra_Fontfreda · March 14, 2024, 3:27pm

+1 seems solved here with 6.0.2 too

denzy7 · March 15, 2024, 8:12am

I also have the same issue on arch with 6.0.1. Here is journalctl when it happens
