This is my normal desktop.

https://paste.opensuse.org/70271623

But, for the past week Plasma keeps changing most of my desktop environment. see link below

https://paste.opensuse.org/76070058

I change everything back, but after a few logins it gets changed and it lags really bad.
Yes, I do have it set to restore previous saved session, but let me see what happens when i start with an empty session.

Changed the settings to started with an empty session and the lag is gone, but I'll have to make all those changes again. Lets see what happens.

It has happened again. Pay attention to the times that are in the read circle and I did have the system set to restore previous saved session.

Setup the desktop again

After rebooting it has changed again.

Also, the lag is back. :'( :'( :'(

To fix the lag issue I'll change the setting to start with an empty session again.
I had to change the Desktop Session settings to start with an empty session in order to stop it from lagging.

Jonzn4SUSE here... back at it again with another video. ;D
In this video you will see Plasma responding normally and then I'll make a change and you see the lag start.
Again, to fix the issue I have to change my desktop session to start with an empty session.

Just noticed that lag issue affects both regular users, but not root.
When logged in as root, I can make the same desktop changes as the regular user with no issue.
I can log out of the regular user(lag issue) and then into root, log out of root and back into the regular user the lag issue is gone.
If I make the same changes again as the regular user the lag returns.

I updated my OpennSUSE Tumbleweed system today and Plasma lost workspace settings. Only panels settings was preserved. Most annoying thing is I kept notes on my plasma workspace. Any help?

I see notes are in ~/.local/share/plasma_notes or similar. How to restore it? Is there way to restore other settings?

Did you report this to your distribution? I can't reproduce this in Kubuntu, but also have a much more recent Plasma version, so maybe this is already fixed?


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

And why not? It seems to be happening in that particular distribution only, or has somebody been able to reproduce this elsewhere?
