I haven’t yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back it happened.
I find my taskbar (Set to be on the bottom) at the top, when I open the edit tool it says that it’s still at the bottom. The add widget button just doesn’t do anything. The notifications are at the middle of the screen (however they are set to be bottom right).
This all started happening after I updated to plasma6. I searched online and found that typing killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell into alt+space fixes it for a while. But it’s not a permanent fix.
Also pre-update I didn’t had any problem with my screen going blank while watching Youtube, but now my screen goes to sleep when I watch fullscreen Youtube.
I’m sorry that I got no more information, if I should supply some logs or screenshots, please tell me and I will.
I was having this problem recently as well. It seems to have stopped after I noticed ‘Floating’ style had turned itself on and turned that off.
Just turned it off, let’s see. Still donno how to test so… waiting game.
I had similar issues. When first booting into plasma6, my bottom panel was changed to floating. Changing it to not float made it spaced from the bottom of the screen.
While trying to fix that, I somehow managed to move the pinned icons all off the panel and onto the desktop, but they were unable to be clicked or moved. I ended up restarting for unrelated reasons and they snapped back to the panel.
I think there were other wonky issues with the edit session, but I don’t recall specifics. Good luck!
Edit: this was on a wayland session with integrated amd graphics.
kstart5 on plasma6? Try making a new user and seeing if the issue still happens.
It’s still happening, and it’s even worse, everything that’s not an app just goes black.
I had a bunch of mild but annoying breakage since the update as well. What helped me is renaming .cache and .config, rebooting and just copying select things over to the fresh folders
Sorry for the late response, I’m not feeling well. Might try this, when I get a bit better. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, but nope. My lockscreen works. It’s everything after it lol.
I’m still on Plasma5, so I can’t really help, but are you using Wayland or X11? I’d say switch to the other and see if it still happens.
I’m on x11, Wayland just doesn’t work, idk why. I’m not looking to fix this as of now, as x is good (as good as is gets lol)
If your screen is turning black when you go full screen, try turning Adaptive Sync to Never. This has solved the problem for me.
System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Adaptive Sync
I can’t seem to find that setting.
Check under Display Configuration, its at the top of the list where Gamma is in your screenshot. I’m also using Wayland, so maybe its not available for X11?
Edit: The archwiki might be more helpful, it shows how to access the settings depending on your set up https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate
