Is it broken for 100% of windows 100% of the time?

Or does it happen only sometimes?

I never had it working since around plasma 5.23 (the bug I commented on earlier was the one I had found back then when searching for this problem) and has never worked since then.
If it might be helpful, the system I'm having this issue on is an Acer nitro 5 with an i5-7300hq and 1050ti and I'm using the noveau drivers.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-08-21 17:46:14 UTC
Never had it working, huh? Do you have `kpipewire` installed on your system?

Just checked and I do have it installed
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-08-21 18:33:54 UTC
Thanks for the info.
Comment 6 Zamundaaa 2023-08-23 17:39:31 UTC
Works here with a rtx 3060; not sure why it wouldn't with a 1050. Please attach the output of drm_info
Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2023-08-23 17:58:02 UTC
Not related to video card. I can reproduce on Arch Linux running Plasma 5.27.7 on intel iGPU by hovering over the tasks repeatedly.
Comment 8 Zamundaaa 2023-08-23 20:36:43 UTC
Thumbnails never working and sometimes not showing are two different bugs

drm_info and wayland-info on secondairy intel machine

I tested on a seaprate machine that only has the intel integrated graphigs using a debian 12 live image (shipping with kde 27.5), and I get a very similar result, the difference being that rather than being empty, the preview window only shows the window icon. So I guess the issue is not related to the noveau drivers but the intel ones.

Attached are the outputs of both drm_info and wayland-info ran on that machine.

This happens on AMD (RX480) amdgpu driver on Debian 12, too.
Comment 14 Jean-Francois Roy 2023-10-12 19:05:19 UTC
This also reproduces on my system.

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8

When I hover over an item in the task manager, I see those logs in the user journal:

Comment 15 Francesco 2023-10-26 13:48:33 UTC
I'm seeing the same behaviour (no window preview, just application icon on icon only task manager thumbnail) but slightly different error message:

Latest opensuse tumbleweed update (or the subsequent restart of the plasma session) fixed it for me
