Description jct1001@hotmail.com 2025-01-30 22:21:07 UTC

***
I am using Ubuntu Studio 22.04 tls on a Toshiba Qosmio 505 Laptop with Nvidia Geforce graphics.  Problem:  pixilation takes place on the screen in every application including the Gui Desktop.  It has happened about 5 time as I am typing this bug.  The system also freezes (text on screen, but can't do anything.  
This computer worked flawlessly with window 7 and with windows 10 upgrade didn't support the high resolution graphics that windows 7 had.  It only worked  in vga mode.   If there is something (a file) that I need to attach, please let me know what it is.  I am a newbie with linux.   Hope you can find a solution for me.  Thanks

Hi - I'm afraid Plasma 5.24 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE.

Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. Please update to Plasma 6.2 as soon as your Linux distribution offers it to you. If you need support for Plasma 5.24, please contact the maintainers of your Linux distribution (Ubuntu Studio in this case), who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases in "Long Term Support" distributions.

If this issue is still reproducible in Plasma 6.2, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding!
