Just desktop applets? Or panels and panel applets too? Created attachment 145347 [details] Plasma desktop applets are not blurred > Just desktop applets? Or panels and panel applets too? I should've posted a screenshot earlier. Here, only desktop applets are affected, while panels are fine. It is strangely inconsistent. For example, everything was fine when I re-logged-in from SDDM after a session crashed (if you can say a session crash from brightness keys is "fine", lol); but the bug triggers when cold-booting (not even a restart). Thanks for the info! *** Bug 449912 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This likely has been resolved with Opensuse TW kernel 5.16.14-1.1. I talked to a maintainer, I quote: "it could be something to do with the initialization order/timing of the video drivers. I.e. kwin checks on startup if the blur effect is available but the driver is not ready yet. In which case a kernel update could have fixed/changed something. " This would also explain, why it happened only after a cold boot, but not when I log out and log back in. For me, this problem is gone now. Do you have a newer kernel available on Arch btw, just to test? :) ratijas, can you confirm that? Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Silly me, up to this day I've been running system-provided /usr/bin/plasmashell and kwin_x11 and everything else on login. Later I restarted it with my dev environment already set up, and it worked -- of course, why wouldn't it 🤦 Nate, please change this to CLOSED # NOT A BUG as I don't have permissions to do so :-\ |
