Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
I cannot reproduce this, but occasionally stopping Steam causes the whole desktop environment to stop.
I am running:
Gentoo
Linux 6.1.38-gentoo-dist-hardened
NVIDIA 470.199.02
X.Org X Server 1.21.1.8
EFL 1.26.3-r2
Enlightenment 0.25.4
The composite settings are set to OpenGL. EFL is compiled using
-D opengl=full
. Thewl
anddrm
options are disabled.This is what Steam seems to have logged:
This is the xorg log:
That's your xserver crashing... that'd mean best rrpots to your xorg maintainers - possibly driver maintainerts (nvidia). reality is xorg maintainers won't care because you're using the nvidia closed blob. they will wash their hands of it. So contact nvidia and hope for the best. There is nothing E can do about the xserver crashing. it's a different process.
Thank you for the insight!
I just read around and I think the issue might be related to problems with GPU acceleration on Steam and Nvidia. If I find some more useful information, I will add it here for anyone having similar problems.
It'll be entirely an issue inside the nvidia driver (most likely) and not steam. steam may just set upt he conditions to show the bug happening, but the but won't be in steam. given it's the xserver crashing - the problem is in there. 90% chance it's the nvidia driver module that xorg loads rather than xorg internals itself.
a lot of people make the mistake of assuming just because some process runs and the crash happens then that it's that process at fault. often enough with processes interacting, this process just sets up the conditions to show an existing bug that was not detected before.
Well I sent an email to linux-bugs@nvidia.com. I gave them all of the information I have. Will update the thread if anything interesting happens.
