Bug ID: 460255
Summary: Programs aren't displayed at all after updating to
5.26.0
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.26
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: 80p3fy7...@cloud-mail.top
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After updating to 5.26.0 on both my Arch Linux and Gentoo installs, apps are no
longer displayed when started. I suspect the culprit is either kwin and/or
plasmashell because the issue started to occur as soon as I restarted both (I
have a keyboard shortcut which triggers a script that runs 'kwin_x11 --replace
; plasmashell --replace').
It occurs with any app (Ark, Dolphin, Firefox, Kate, Kitty...).
Logging out or rebooting doesn't make any difference.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. After updating to 5.26.0 on Arch or Gentoo, open any program
OBSERVED RESULT
1. The apps icons appear in the Icons-only Task Manager applet but the apps
aren't displayed on the screen. I'm still seeing my wallpaper, right clicking
displays the desktop contextual menu. Alt+tab shows the apps in the list.
EXPECTED RESULT
The apps are displayed normally.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
- Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux / Gentoo
- Display Server : X11
- NVIDIA drivers version: 515.76-5 (Arch Linux // 515.65.01 (Gentoo)
- KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.0
-KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
- Qt Version: 5.15.6+kde+r177-1 -- 6.4.0-1 (Arch Linux) // 5.15.5
(Gentoo)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Couldn't provide a video to showcase the issue since any app wouldn't be
rendered so I couldn't start SimpleScreenRecorder. Couldn't use my mobile phone
at that time, sorry.
Now I realize I should have created a new user from TTY to see if that was an
issue with my Plasma settings. Maybe I'll do if nobody can reproduce.
I downgraded to 5.25.5 on both distros and the issue is solved.
