Created attachment 129559 [details] no blur no rounded account picture SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce. I happens "randomly" after waking up the computer, when it's locked and when it's inactive for a few minutes. OBSERVED RESULT No blur and no rounded account picture. EXPECTED RESULT Blurred background and rounded account picture. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It looks like the graphics are using fallback software rendering mode. I have periodically experienced this at as well--but also cannot reliably reproduce the issue. FWIW I haven't seen it in Plasma 5.19 or 5.20 at all though. We might have fixed it in a version newer than 5.18. Any chance you could upgrade to Plasma 5.19 (perhaps using the Kubuntu backports PPA) and seeing if you ever experience it anymore?
No, I use Kubuntu and I don't want to break my system. Is this PPA official from the KDE team?
Thanks for the response*
It's from the Kubuntu team: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports I understand if you don't want to do that though. In that case you'll just have to take my word that it's fixed. :)
Wow, I can't believe this!! I can have the latest KDE without breaking my system!!! Thanks, I'm gonna test it!
It only showed this packages: The following packages will be upgraded: kde-spectacle libokular5core9 okular okular-extra-backends I'm using Kubuntu 20.04, what's wrong?
No idea, sorry. You'll have to contact the Kubuntu packagers. It's possible that they simply haven't packaged Plasma 5.19 yet.

This bug affects KDE 5.18.5 and I can't upgrade it since newer versions aren't available in Kubuntu Backports
(Still need someone to check on Plasma 5.19 or later)

I just had this bug yesterday. I have no idea how to reproduce it.
The version of Plasma I'm using is 5.21.4.
Are you using NVIDIA graphics?

In my case, I can completely reproduce it everytime I resume from suspend. I have a NVIDIA GPU with latest beta NVIDIA driver and Plasma (Arch Linux) and this issue still occurs. (I am the reporter of this bug here:- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443509)
I still have this bug in 5.23.4, but it seems to be less frequent.
