I also reassigned several ABRT crash reports to xorg-x11-drv-nouveau (there are a few different backtraces, it's not just one bug) in Fedora and didn't even get a reply. > Do any of you guys use Nouveau and this latest 16.08 PIM without crashes? > > I see good karma left for for this release on Bodhi which makes me think > it is webkit/nouveau causing the issue and *not* PIM Right. A workaround is to start your kdepim apps with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 or QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL=1 set, e.g.: LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 kmail or: export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 kmail You could even set QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL=1 globally in some profile script, but that's kinda overkill, it would force the llvmpipe for all Qt 5 stuff including Plasma. (And of course setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 globally would be even worse and force it for ALL apps.)
