Dear everyone,
so I got a new desktop PC at work and the first thing I did, of course,
was to install Debian sid and enlightenment-git. ;-)
The machine has a Nvidia T600 card and this is where troubles probably
begin. As I kind of need the graphics performance for CAD I went with
the drivers from Nvidia (the stock open source drivers were terribly slow).
Now what happens is that enlightenment crashes often. Like kind of
constantly. I got the impression it happens mostly when several windows
are going through their appearance fade-in transition at the same time.
Then the "red screen of death" appears and I need to press F1 to
continue. With some applications this happens always (Eagle anyone?)
with others only sometimes. After the forced restart many windows (e.g.
terminology always, firefox sometimes) need to be minimized and
uncovered again for their content to display again. Some dialog windows
won't even show their content from the beginning and instead just some
different portion of the screen. Needless to say that for a machine at
work this is not an optimal situation.
The most pressing issue are of course the crashes. I recompiled
everything with debugging symbols and optimization disabled (or at least
I thought so, some things seem still to be optimized away) to get some
meaningful dumps. One of which I uploaded to pastebin
(https://pastebin.com/YWSarC10) hoping that it makes sense to someone.
I am sure that it is not E that is "at fault" but Nvidia, but for now I
need to find a way around this so that I can work without having to
reset everything every five minutes. Any ideas?
Oh, I also tried to disable OpenGL in the compositor settings and
choosing the software option. And it still crashes!
For starters I was hoping that I can just switch off all the window
transition-fading eye-candy but I did not understand whether this is
possible. Is it?
Finally, being a desktop system (my first in like 10 years or so) it
does not run an acpi daemon. I don't really see any reason to do so.
Therefore E also complains on every startup that no acpi daemon can be
found. I did not find any compile time or runtime options to disable
acpi. Is there a way to silence this error/warning?
Cheers,
Florian
