Hi everyone,

I'm slowly working out some kinks with my brand new install of KDE 18 64 on my system. Got lots of great help so far, but I'm having a few nagging issues with suspending/resuming.

After some networking issues, I'm almost there. However, the description/titles of my desktop icons disappear after resuming (they're fine after a complete boot). Obviously, this isn't a huge deal if this is the extent of my issues, but I like to have things working as perfect as I can, particularly if my graphics card performance is diminished in some way after resuming.

The text is always gone, but sometimes there are what I would refer to as colored shadows where the text should be -- I couldn't replicate that specific problem, but I've included before and after resume screenshots in the links below. The screen from the after shot does show some strange pixelated colored vertical lines that are similar to the ghosting I've seen.

Any ideas? I'm running the proprietary suggested Nvidia app from the Hardware Manager. Also, I haven't found a way to necessarily blacklist the nouveau driver as I've had to do with past distros. But I've read it isn't necessary on this build, for some reason.

Just a friendly bump to see if anyone might see/respond to this.

I upgraded my nvidia card via the ppa to see if the problem persisted. No changes, unfortunately.

I've been reading up on a number of graphics-related bugs similar to my issue -- seems unlikely there's a fix. Hopefully, someone can prove me wrong!

The same problem. Fixed by new clock widget:

Hi,

because of this bug we start to remove all linux at job. We see many patch on web since a very long time but they are never include in KDE. As users we don't care to know if the fault it QT / KDE / NVIDIA, we just see that kde is not usable. So bye KDE, bye linux....
