Picture of what the display renders
So to be clear, the system is working fine, then you do something to make System Settings crash, and when it crashes, this also happens? Do I have that right? What specifically is the thing you do to make this happen?

This happened when trying to change the resolution of the monitor from 3840x1080 to 5120x1440 on my monitor (Samsung G9). This happened consistently when switching to that resolution (picture attached above). I'm new to KDE and Linux as a whole, so I'm not entirely sure how to begin debugging on my end for this stuff. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 464707 *** (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > Thanks! > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 464707 *** This seemingly may be related to 464707, but after upgrading to 5.27.1, my issue is still persisting. There's a picture attached here that shows what's happening to my screen when I change the resolution to 5120x1440. It doesn't seem to happen with changing the resolution to any other option. Bug 464707 is fixed in 5.27.2, not 5.27.1. Can you try again once it's released tomorrow? If the issue is still not fixed, feel free to re-open this bug report and un-mark it as a duplicate of Bug 464707. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 464707 *** This is still an issue after upgrading to 5.27.2. It may be a matter of the backtrace coinciding with the issue I'm getting, but the image shows the screen tearing that I'm seeing when I switch to 5120x1440resolution. Well darn. Thanks for following up! (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9) > Well darn. Thanks for following up! What's something I can do to help with debugging this? I'm super new to Linux, so I'm not entirely sure where to really begin. This looks like a driver bug; I've had similar glitches happen before on Xorg with my Samsung CRG9. Can you try the Wayland session? (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #11) > This looks like a driver bug; I've had similar glitches happen before on > Xorg with my Samsung CRG9. Can you try the Wayland session? Not sure if this is how you meant, but I found [this site](https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2016/05/running-plasma-wayland-on-kde-neon/) and ran `sudo apt install plasma-workspace-wayland` in order to allow me to select which compositor to use on bootup. When I logged in with Wayland, the entire experience was borderline unusable. It took about five to seven seconds for the UI/mouse position to update and mouse events to register. If there's another way to switch to Wayland, please let me know.

Seems like this is the problem. I installed the new drivers and it's all working fine now. Thanks for the help! |
