Hello all.
Everything was running fine on my PC with Kubuntu 22.04 for a year or 2.
On Thursday, Jan 05, 2023, I replaced my nVidia GTX 980 4 GB card with a AMD RX 8600 16 GB card.
For the AMD, it uses an open source driver that is already in the kernel, while previously, I would use the nVidia driver.
I had kernel
5.15.0-56-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 22 19:54:14 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
On Friday, Jan 06, 2023, there was a kernel update.
5.15.0-57-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 24 13:43:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

5.15.0-58-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 5 11:43:13 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Now, sometimes when I launch a game from Steam, the window doesn’t come up.
Games like Battlefield 1, Left 4 Dead 2, Tomb Raider, Half-Life 2.
Other programs don’t open either, such as System Monitor, KCalc, Kate, Konsole and there is a KDE crash notification that appears in the system stray.
It looks like a blue water splash icon.
If I lock the screen, some text says to log into Ctrl-Alt-F2 and then execute loginctl unlock-session 3 (Yes, that works to unlock the screen).
When I close Steam, I can open apps again.
I can open Steam and run some games again but eventually, the same problem repeats.
Is there something wrong with 5.15.0-58-generic?
Oh yes, the reason why I see
Maximum number of clients reachedError: unable to open display :0
is that when the Konsole is open, I run
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
when I close Steam, it works. I get
