I already browsed the kde Changelog and this mailing-list, but didnt = find something similar. I hope this is the right place for this kind of = problem. In case of error, the Phone-Support-Team tells us, no errors where = shown, just the desktop isn't working any longer. If we check the processlist on the faulty machine, no kwin-Process is = found. Restarting kde solves the problem temporary. Our Environment is a Opensuse 10.3-based Distribution deployed on about = 500 Machines, spread across the country. kwin --version gives Qt: 3.3.8 KDE: 3.5.7 "release 72.6" KWin: 3.0 We have a stripped down Desktop Profile with kicker showing the taskbar = and clockapplet, but without K-Menu. All needed Programs are started = with Desktop-Links. Direct File Access-Actions etc. are disabled. This error is hard to track, because it doesn't happen regularly and = didn't show up in previous tests. We have systems running without = problems for over 35 days. But the problem occurs on an average of 20 = Systems per day. :-( Our current workaround is a cron-Job checking the process Table for a = running kwin, and eventually restarting kwin. But as we plan to extend our deployment to some thousand hosts and also = want to use them for several years, we prefer a solution over the = workaround. Here are my qestions: - How can I gather more Information about the running (and probably = stopping or stopped) kwin?=20 - Running inside gdb seems impossible, and I don't have physical access = to the machines. How can I enable the creation of coredumps, if kwin = crashes? (Althoug I'm not sure if it crashes or just terminates) - Is there a possibility to turn on extended or debug-Level Logging? = (Not on all machines, I hope a small subset will suffice to spot the = error) - Maybe the problem isn't a kwin-Problem, but general kde or = kiosk-related. Suggestions? thanks in advance, Joey5337 ------_=_NextPart_001_01C9230B.57D49873 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 6.5.7638.1"> <TITLE>kwin </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <!-- Converted from text/plain format --> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hello,<BR> <BR> I have a problem with kwin in a kiosk environment: kwin terminates = unexpected.<BR> I already browsed the kde Changelog and this mailing-list, but didnt = find something similar.
