GNOME Konsol crashes

Hi.

GNOME Konsol has crashed for me, bringing down all 10+ windows I had

open (and plenty of ongoing work halted...). I've now seen this twice,

so I suppose it counts as reproducible, even though I don't know how to

trigger it. I recall that it happened when I used the mouse to maybe

resize windows or switch workspace somehow.

This is guix v1.3.0-60008-g7e00fb9f31 with a fairly normal system

configuration [1] on a fairly ordinary amd64 desktop (MSI Z790P).

Syslog has these two crashes:

Anyone else seeing this? I know it is hard to debug based on this

information...

The crash indicates some driver issue, probably in Mesa. Since GNOME

is increasingly hardware accelerated, you tend to notice them in a lot

of places. You can twiddle the GSK_RENDERER environment variable to

something less buggy, potentially at the cost of performance.

Particularly the cairo one ought to do slow, but correct CPU rendering.

Built-in UHD 770 in the Intel 14900K CPU (no overclocking). I am using Dasharo system firmware if that makes a difference.

I’ve used this system extensively and think some recent update may have introduced it as I started seeing it only recently. Hard to tell though since it only happened after 4+ hours of interactive work each time.

Ah this makes sense. I will try and see if I notice it again. It hasn’t happened for any other application.

Hi Simon,

Are you still having problems with GNOME Console (you do mean 'Console',

the default console application in GNOME (the one whose executable is

'kgx') ?)

I saw the problem a couple of more times, but I have switched away from kgx (which I think is called Konsol not Console?) to the old Terminal app and haven’t had any issues since. I’m okay closing this bug report unless there is some more information from anyone else who have time to debug the kgx/Mesa issue further.

It might well be Konsol in some language – it's Console in English. As

for kgx/Mesa bugs, there might be some due to GTK using hardware

acceleration under the hood (which, in turn, is controlled by a few

variables and depends on whether your hardware works nice with libre

software/current Mesa).

I've searched for similar reports and found none specific to GNOME

Console (kgx), although this one about the whole Xorg server crashing

looks similar [0]. One of the commenter there also mentions the problem

vanishing after upgrading their memory to 32 GiB, so perhaps it's

related to something being OOM'd ?

Anyway, if you can reproduce this, I think the best place to report the

issue would be upstream on that mesa tracker: they are more likely to

figure out the actual problem and come up with a fix.
