Hi,
Since I've upgraded to Jaunty, Ive run into a lot of troubles with my desktop. I don't remember having seen any of them with Kubuntu 8.10
Symptoms are (maybe they are not related) :
- KDM simply crashes, randomly. Without doing anything special.
- Window backgrounds partially disappear (become black) and may reappear later according to the actions on the windows (refresh issue?)
- And the most annoying : it looks like the desktop looses the size or resolution of the screen for displaying windows. I notice this issue when doing a mouse action (such as a clic to close or minimize a window) and nothing happens or I see the action performed somewhere else on the screen (a piece of the window appears somewhere else). If I switch from desktop to desktop, I can clearly see the result of the action since the whole desktop is redrawn correctly. But the problem remains and whatever I do is not displayed or I see a piece of the window on which I work that appears around the bottom left part of the screen.
Restarting the X-server removes the problem but it soon reappears. Currently I restart the X-server ten times a day.
Additional info :
Qt: 4.5.0
KDE: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2)
kde4-config: 1.0
Linux jack 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
(AMD64)
nVidia drivers 180.44-0ubuntu1
The screen is a Samsung SyncMaster 305T (2560*1600 resolution)
That's it. Anyone has a clue ?
Thanks,
- Emmanuel
