--- Begin Message ---Package: kwin-x11 Version: 4:5.8.6-1 Severity: important Hello, The last 8 months or so kwin_x11 has been hanging randomly probably at least once a day. The screen just freezes mid-operation and doesn't update anymore; but I can still switch to a non-x11 console. The hangups occur when switching desktops or on some websites in Firefox that are graphics intense or have video. I think the bug is related to the graphics driver code, because there's often a line in the logs around the time freezes happen. Here's one from today: [Mon Apr 10 11:09:48 2017] [drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=20652 end=20653) time 355 us, min 1192, max 1199, scanline start 1176, end 1202 The computer is a fairly old system with the Intel Q35 Chipset and uses the default Intel drivers: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20160919 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0 Killing kwin from a non-X11 console (with `kwin_x11 --replace`) brings back the system – minus some programs that don't like that approach, so I assume the bug is in kwin or perhaps the Intel driver for i915. I have seen other references to "Atomic update failure on pipe ..." in bug reports in diverse places on the net, but no clear solution.

I have seen other references to "Atomic update failure on pipe ..." in bug reports in diverse places on the net, but no clear solution.Sorry, but I don't think this is related to kwin (other than kwin exercising your video drivers).The mentioned issue seems to be a recurring problem with the intel drivers: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91883 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375399 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214177It might be worth checking the workarounds published by the affected users, in particular adding setting the module option "i915.enable_psr=0" seems to have helped a number of users.And if that fails, consider adding more information to the upstream bug (freedesktop), or to the xserver-xorg-video-intel Debian package. Btw, have you already tried switching to xserver-xorg-video-modesetting?I don't think there is anything to do on the kwin side, as such I'm closing the issue.Happy hacking, -- "It's a well-known fact that computing devices such as the abacus were invented thousands of years ago.
