[4.14.6] [Arch Linux] xfwm4 sometimes dumps core
I get random core dumps of xfwm4 since some time and can't get the real cause for them. I never had any of these issues before and I'm using XFCE for a long time now. Maybe it has started since I merged two screens into one screen using xrandr but I'm just assuming this. But one by one:
Tech details:
xfwm4 -V
This is xfwm4 version 4.14.5 (revision d331c9b20) for Xfce 4.14

Kernel: Linux MYMACHINE 5.4.72-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 17 11:06:19 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
OS: Manjaro / Arch x64 XFCE
What I already tried:
- Switch kernel (no change at all)
xrandr: xrandr
Thats the command I'm using to merge my screens: xrandr --setmonitor BigScreen auto DisplayPort-1,DisplayPort-2 ; sleep 2 ; xrandr --fb 5440x1922 ; sleep 5 ; xrandr --fb 5440x1920 ; xfce4-panel -r
Sometimes it crashes when I watch a video in pip mode within firefox but most of the time this works fine. So I couldn't get through whats the real cause.
Most of the time the xfwm4 crash goes alongside with a xfce4-panel crash. I also sometimes use this snippet to restart xfwm4 by hand after a crash: xfce4-panel -r & ; xfwm4 --replace & ; sleep 10 ; xfce4-panel -r
core dump output crash 1 (journalctl -xfe
): coredump-1
core dump output crash 2 (journalctl -xfe
): coredump-2
Seems like this is related to issue #433 (closed)
If you need more information or if I should try something just drop me a message. I will try to help.
