Created attachment 763615 [details] emerge --info Since a recent update I can't login to KDE anymore since it crashes after I input the credentials in SDDM. In dmesg I can see that it logs a segfault: [Tue Jan 25 15:20:04 2022] kscreen_backend[6550]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f06e0e583cd sp 00007ffd4535baf0 error 4 in KSC_XRandR.so[7f06e0e55000+19000] I have tried to roll back to an older kernel or video driver (nvidia), but to no avail. Tested combinations that produce the crash: gentoo-sources: 5.10.93 & 5.15.16 nvidia-drivers: 495.46-r10 & 510.39.01 I have already tried to recompile world etc. Any idea what might be the issue here? doesn't seem to be the hardware, I tested with an Arch Linux installation and it doesn't crash.

Ok, thanks for the link, at least I'm not the only one with this kind of issue. I tried fiddling around a little bit more with modeset, e.g. setting options nvidia-drm modeset=0 in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf , but it didn't help so far.
I have backtracked the merge that made things break, and it seems it happened on 2022-01-21. There are a couple of KDE 5.90 packages in there that came from the kde-overlay which I have rolled back to stable since then (didn't change the kscreen segfault though). Prime suspect probably is x11-base/xorg-server-21.1.3 and its dependencies? merge history from 2022-01-21: ========================================================== 2022-01-21T09:17:17 >>> x11-base/xorg-drivers-21.1 2022-01-21T09:17:39 >>> sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.15.16 2022-01-21T09:18:40 >>> dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.9.4 2022-01-21T09:19:17 >>> x11-misc/compose-tables-1.7.3 2022-01-21T09:19:30 >>> x11-libs/libX11-1.7.3 2022-01-21T09:20:04 >>> sys-libs/talloc-2.3.3 2022-01-21T09:20:58 >>> sys-libs/tevent-0.11.0 2022-01-21T09:21:56 >>> dev-util/meson-0.60.3 2022-01-21T09:22:06 >>> x11-libs/libxcvt-0.1.1 2022-01-21T09:22:14 >>> x11-base/xorg-server-21.1.3 2022-01-21T09:22:36 >>> dev-python/cython-0.29.26 2022-01-21T09:22:59 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.5.0 2022-01-21T09:23:10 >>> dev-python/numpy-1.21.5 2022-01-21T09:26:28 >>> dev-util/wayland-scanner-1.20.0 2022-01-21T09:26:38 >>> dev-libs/wayland-1.20.0 2022-01-21T09:26:49 >>> dev-libs/wayland-protocols-1.24 2022-01-21T09:26:57 >>> media-libs/libglvnd-1.4.0 2022-01-21T09:27:12 >>> x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.109 2022-01-21T09:27:27 >>> media-libs/mesa-21.3.4 2022-01-21T09:28:50 >>> dev-qt/qtcore-5.15.2-r14 2022-01-21T09:30:24 >>> gui-libs/egl-wayland-1.1.9_p20211123 2022-01-21T09:30:33 >>> dev-libs/libevdev-1.12.0 2022-01-21T09:30:44 >>> sys-libs/ldb-2.4.1 2022-01-21T09:31:55 >>> dev-qt/qtnetwork-5.15.2-r14 2022-01-21T09:32:38 >>> x11-apps/xauth-1.1.1 2022-01-21T09:32:48 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.6 2022-01-21T09:32:59 >>> x11-libs/libva-2.13.0-r2 2022-01-21T09:33:22 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput-1.2.0 2022-01-21T09:45:12 >>> dev-qt/qtgui-5.15.2-r16 2022-01-21T09:47:03 >>> dev-qt/qtsvg-5.15.2-r13 2022-01-21T09:47:18 >>> dev-qt/qtwayland-5.15.2-r17 2022-01-21T09:48:13 >>> dev-libs/libical-3.0.12 2022-01-21T09:48:27 >>> dev-libs/plasma-wayland-protocols-1.6.0 2022-01-21T09:48:34 >>> dev-qt/qtwebsockets-5.15.2-r11 2022-01-21T09:48:47 >>> kde-frameworks/kwindowsystem-5.90.0-r1 2022-01-21T09:49:02 >>> kde-frameworks/kholidays-5.90.0-r1 2022-01-21T09:49:13 >>> kde-frameworks/solid-5.90.0-r1 2022-01-21T09:49:33 >>> kde-frameworks/qqc2-desktop-style-5.90.0-r1 2022-01-21T09:49:45 >>> kde-frameworks/ktexteditor-5.90.0-r1 2022-01-21T09:50:20 >>> kde-frameworks/plasma-5.90.0-r1 ==========================================================
Ok, I managed to avoid the segfault by masking the 20.x versions of xorg-server and xorg-drivers and (re)building the 1.20 versions of it. I also rebuilt the following packages, just to make sure: ============================ kscreen libdrm libglvnd libkscreen libX11 libxcb libxcvt libXrandr libXxf86dga libXxf86vm mesa xf86-* ============================ /etc/portage/package.mask ============================ >=x11-base/xorg-server-21.1 >=x11-base/xorg-drivers-21.1 xorg "use" settings: [I] x11-base/xorg-server Installed versions: 1.20.14(0/1.20.14)^t(04:53:59 PM 01/27/2022)(elogind udev xnest xorg xvfb -debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal -selinux -suid -systemd -test -unwind -xcsecurity -xephyr) [I] x11-base/xorg-drivers Installed versions: 1.20-r2(04:53:03 PM 01/27/2022)(INPUT_DEVICES="evdev libinput -elographics -joystick -synaptics -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia vesa -amdgpu -ast -dummy -fbdev -freedreno -geode -glint -i915 -i965 -intel -mga -nouveau -nv -omap -qxl -r128 -radeon -radeonsi -siliconmotion -tegra -vc4 -via -virtualbox -vmware") Not sure on how to progress from here, I'm open for suggestions :)
There are other reports about segfaults with recent xorg-server update.

Nothing to do for kde proj then.
Sorry for the late follow up, real life happened and I just now finally set up my system for debugging. I managed to get a crashdump from /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kscreen_backend_launcher which seems to be the binary causing the crash in the first place. Took me a while to figure that out, not used to stuff like this. I attached the full backtrace as text to the issue now, maybe you guys can take another look and make something of it?

PS: I updated the bug at KDE https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448968 too
