Show Desktop in Mavericks (10.9)
2 Attachment(s)
On Mavericks (10.9) with 1 DisplayLink display attached using 2.1 driver. When doing "show desktop" (thus moving all the windows out of the way) crashes WindowServer.
Attached are 2 crash logs. |
I had opened a bug report with Apple on this ... just got a reply that this is not an Apple issue but a third-party vendor issue (DisplayLink).
Would thus like someone from DisplayLink to look at this and report. |
Would someone please look into this problem as I am having a similar experience (crashes and reverts to login screen every time I attempt to Show Desktop and intermittently when attempting to use Mission Control).
|
Bump as this is a definite issue and does not seem that Apple is recognizing it as being on their end.
|
Agreed. This continues to occur sporadically throughout. It is frustrating not being able to use Show Desktop.
|
Apple will say it's DisplayLink and DisplayLink will say it's apple. It's called passing the buck back and forth. Everyone knows Apple doesn't want you connecting non Apple devices to their hardware LOL.
|
Understood, but would be nice for someone from DisplayLink to at least acknowledge the issue exist and that they are looking into it as well.
I opened the report with Apple and they at least responded back, have not heard anything from Displaylink. |
Just updated to 10.9.1 and tried the "Show desktop" again, did it 3-4 times and no crashes. Before it crashed each and every time I tried. So look like Apple fixed this bug even although they responded that it is not on their end.

We have found different WS crashes in our tests so far in 10.9.1 compared to 10.9. It must be a timings issue that is triggered by different use cases on different setups.
Thank you for posting the update! Carlo |
Carlo,
So are these items DisplayLink can/needs to address in the driver? |
