From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE keeps bugging out. (sh.itjust.works)

I haven't yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back it happened.

I find my taskbar (Set to be on the bottom) at the top, when I open the edit tool it says that it's still at the bottom. The add widget button just doesn't do anything. The notifications are at the middle of the screen (however they are set to be bottom right).

This all started happening after I updated to plasma6. I searched online and found that typing killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell into alt+space fixes it for a while. But it's not a permanent fix.

Also pre-update I didn't had any problem with my screen going blank while watching Youtube, but now my screen goes to sleep when I watch fullscreen Youtube.

I'm sorry that I got no more information, if I should supply some logs or screenshots, please tell me and I will.

I have similarly annoying issues when one of monitors is turned off. It collapses everything back onto the other display and doesn't reset when I turn it back on.

So maybe an issue with the display going to sleep?

Could be, as I recall it happening when I walked back to my pc. Yesterday I set the sleep to 1 minuted and played with it a bit, couldn't replicate it. As a matter of fact it didn't even happen on it's own. I haven't updated so idk what's going on.

You were right! I just now figured thar turning my screen off and back on makes this thing to happen. I still don't have a fix tho..
