Bug ID: 479630
Summary: Changing display resolution fries AMD graphics card on
Kubuntu
Classification: Plasma
Product: KScreen
Version: master
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: vxs2...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I installed Kubuntu on my laptop that has a Ryzen 5 5600H with integrated
graphics and the operating system was running perfectly fine and looked
perfectly normal. Then I tried to change the display resolution in the display
settings and as soon as I clicked apply settings it immediately covered my
screen with rgb static, lines, and my screen started flickering. I restarted
the computer and the graphical glitches were still there. I reset the display
resolution and restarted again: the glitches remained. I figured it was a
driver issue but when I opened my bios it was still glitching and the os
drivers shouldn't affect the bios. I then completely wiped the drive, did a
clean install of windows and restarted and glitches remained. Reinstalled
drivers and restarted computer and glitches remain. This confirms that it's not
an operating system or driver issue, but rather that KDE plasma physically
damaged my graphics card.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kubuntu on laptop with AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
2. Open display settings and change the display resolution
3. Observe corrupted graphics output
OBSERVED RESULT
My graphics card was damaged and now my display is flickery and has lines
EXPECTED RESULT
For my display resolution to change without destroying my graphics card.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu 23.10
KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.27
