Description Leo Gaspard 2024-12-19 08:06:42 UTC

SUMMARY

At some point, using the shortcut configured for Overview / Grid starts doing absolutely nothing until the next reboot. The same happens for the corner trigger, at the same time.

Nothing is logged in `journalctl --user -f` when that happens.

Is there any way I can get detailed logs of what KDE tries to do when I press these shortcuts, to be able to give more information?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Wait for long enough for the issue to reproduce, it seems to be random but reproduces after a few hours of uptime and maybe some suspend/resume cycles on my machine
2. Press the Overview or Grid shortcut, or take the cursor to its assigned corner trigger

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
Overview / Grid effect is triggered

So basically you can't trigger the Overview effect at all?

Does it reproduce in a new clean user account?

Comment 2 Leo Gaspard 2024-12-21 05:02:59 UTC

Exactly! Do you know if there is any command I can use to try triggering it with logs available, and while being sure it's not a configuration issue?

Also, the Overview effrts does work after a reboot, but after some time of running plasma it starts being impossible to trigger. Putting the computer to sleep does not help here, contrarily to my other problem with the mouse no longer being able to click (in another open bug here), so I'd guess the two are not related.

Finally, I started using KDE around 4 days ago, so just 2 days before the issue annoyed me enough to submit this issue. I'm also pretty sure the issue had started happening basically since I installed.

Do you have any specific suspect configuration in mind, that I could try toggling?

I have same issue shortcuts and hot corners does nothing. It works on the fresh start, and stops maybe after hibernation.  I am using kvm win10 and Android emu.

Same issue here, can't get grid to show up at all.

Comment 6 in+zam14owa 2025-02-15 15:05:55 UTC

Never mind, I somehow had disabled the desktop overview effect entirely ..
