Description h.k.ghost 2015-07-20 05:06:19 UTC 
After waking up the desktop from sleep, the entire GUI will *sometimes* display the graphics all broken with a lot of flickering, making the entire desktop unusable.

The desktop does not crash, or freeze/hang, or anything. If you know the GUI from memory, you can actually unlock the screen and login without problems, reach the desktop, and switch around virtual desktops, and so on. It behaves normally, with the exception of how the graphics are actually displayed.

There seems to be no way to reliably reproduce the issue other than putting your PC to sleep and waking it up repeatedly until, maybe, you hit the issue. I'm using the NVIDIA binary driver v346.59 from nvidia-346 (recommended, tested) on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770.

I've found some workarounds, which I'll detail below, but this should be considered a high priority issue, IMHO, as it can cause loss of unsaved data, etc.

Workaround #1:
Using your memory, and lots of patience, you can unlock the screen, open the Application Launcher, and Log out. The graphics will be displayed normally again when the login screen shows up. This one has worked every time I've had the patience to try it.

Workaround #2:
Use Ctrl+Alt+F# and drop directly to a terminal. Then restart the sddm service. Unsaved data will be loss, of course. Always seems to work.

Workaround #3:
If you have a desktop sphere effect enabled (e.g. Ctrl+F11), using triggering it will *sometimes* cause the problem to go away. This does not always work. Not sure why.

I'm using Kubuntu 15.04 64-bit on a desktop PC with the Breeze theme (upgraded, not clean install, if it makes a difference).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put your PC to sleep using Application Launcher >> Leave >> Sleep (I've not tried other methods.)
2. After a while, get your PC to wake up from sleep.
3. ....?

Actual Results:  
IF you hit the issue, your unlock screen should be unusable with lots of flickering and broken graphics (you can't miss it)

Expected Results:  
The unlock screen is displayed correctly and normal use of the PC can be resumed immediately.

I hit the issue today and KWin actually crashed. It had never crashed before when the issue showed up, but this time it crashed and I got a log. This is the one and only crash dump I've ever gotten while seeing this problem. That being said, I don't really know if it's somehow related to the actual cause. Right now, it seems more like a side-effect of the issue I'm reporting.

The log's below:

Comment 1 h.k.ghost 2015-07-20 05:10:07 UTC 
Correction: I intended to mark this bug as "Reproducible: Sometimes" , not as "Always", but, other than the title, I can't edit the bug report...
Comment 2 h.k.ghost 2015-07-20 05:23:42 UTC 
Another clarifying note. I've seen this problem several dozen times since I upgraded in April. I just allowed some time to see if one of the first set of updates to be released addressed the issue. Since this did not happen, I chose to report the bug today.
Comment 3 stricte 2015-07-28 07:53:37 UTC 
Is it reproducible after just lock/unlock action (no sleep/wakeup)?
Comment 4 h.k.ghost 2015-07-29 02:33:54 UTC 
No, it's not reproducible that way. I've never observed this issue as a result of simply locking/unlocking the user session, the PC being rebooted, etc. Only observed when the PC wakes up from sleep.
Comment 5 h.k.ghost 2015-07-29 02:42:20 UTC 
...and I wouldn't call it "reproducible". The issue does not show up every single time and I've not been able to identify any particular sequence of steps that would cause it to show up reliably...

There're instances where the PC will wake up from sleep and no problems will be observed at all.

Screenshot of Issue in Action

I was able to capture this screen shot of the broken graphics issue immediately after the PC woke up from sleep a few minutes ago today. There's a significant amount of flickering, so the way it looks changes very rapidly, particularly when the mouse cursor is moved around, but this pic is probably good enough.
Comment 7 h.k.ghost 2015-08-28 03:35:35 UTC 
Today, for the first time, I ran into the issue not only after waking up the PC from sleep, but also after switching back from a terminal.

When I woke the PC from sleep, I ran into the bug, so I did the following:

1. Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go into a terminal
2. Log in and restart the SDDM service  (sudo service sddm restart)
3. It automatically switches over to the GUI, so I log in and reach the desktop.
4. I repeat step #1 to end/exit the session I had used during step #2
5. I Ctrl+Alt+F7 to switch back to the desktop and the graphics were broken just like in the previously attached screen-shot

To work around the issue this time, I repeated steps 1 - 3, but in step 2 I exited as part of the command:  sudo service sddm restart && exit

Hope this helps.
Comment 8 Thomas Lübking 2015-09-03 15:15:46 UTC 
likely nvidia bug, should be worked around in 5.4. can still cause crashes (less likeely, but we'd have to stall screen updates while waiting for more transfer messages - and that can happen for other occasions as well)
