Taskbar disapear when playing youtube
Hello all,
Not sure if I should in here or in KDE Been using SUSE on my Thinkpad for years (since #7) and most was fine, but lately, say about 6 months ago, I lost sound and my taskbar just disappears when I play flash/youtube video (an any browser, midori chromium, chrome, FF) While the taskbar is off, the only thing I can do is to ctrl-alt-supp and choose shut-down. Even if I open a new session, say root, I miss the taskbar When I ctrl-alt F1, I have access to a full screen console where I can log in any user, run TOP, but don't see anything that I feel I should kill (all runing normaly) Which makes me think that the task bar is "running" but hided somehow. When I try Alt+F2 ---> graphical command line opens ----> enter "kicker" as I found in this forum ... well, alt-f2 doesn't lead me nowhere. Same as alt+tab, it doesn't switch open windows I'm ... desperately stuck :( I'm OpenSUSE 13.2 Harlequin; KDE5 (Plasma), 8Go RAM Is it due to the fact I can't update the plasma because of dependencie to Kscreen ? (it more or less came at the same time) #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2016-01-09 11:43:59 #### plasma5-desktop-5.3.2-26.6.x86_64 requires plasma5-workspace >= 5.3.2, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: plasma5-workspace-5.3.2-29.1.i586[download.opensuse.org-update] plasma5-workspace-5.3.2-29.1.x86_64[download.opensuse.org-update] [ ] do not install plasma5-desktop-5.3.2-26.6.x86_64 [ ] do not install plasma5-desktop-5.3.2-26.6.x86_64 [ ] break plasma5-desktop-5.3.2-26.6.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies [ ] deinstallation of kscreen-1.0.71-2.1.6.x86_64 #### YaST2 conflicts list END ### |
Is it okay if I bump this thread?
*edit My apologies, I didn't see this was a recent thread. I wouldn't have bumped it otherwise. |
^ does that mean you have the same problem?
i assume it happens when you play youtube videos fullscreen? is the issue 100 reproducable, and only with flash video? is the sound always gone or only when the taskbar disappears? tbh, i don't see how this can be related. try to disable compositing, does it help with the issue (afaik, kde rather depends on compositing so it might protest and/or look fugly). |

Yes, the sound is always off, for the past 6 months or so Quote:
Thks ! eric |
When opening the OpenGL controler, I've been warned of a message saying that it has crashed and was disabled since then (no idea since when)
With the advice to not "just" put it back on but maybe set it to xRender I've tryed but the overall is now soooo slow !! And the drop-down menu doesn't show up anymore, let's try a flash video now |

Right .... As I'm writing it this very moment, my task bar is not available (disapeared) after I opened a youtube tab in FF, played a video (John Oliver, last week tonight) and closed it -my task bar was still available at that point- and then open a tab in Chromium and open a youtube video (Gorillaz)
Note that only on Chromium did the sound work ... but my taskbar crashed Now I'm good for a ctrl-alt-supp again :( |
KDE/Plasma 5 was a preview in 13.2, and is a little sketchy at times when compared to Plasma 4 in 13.2 or Plasma 5 in Tumbleweed and 42.1 from my use of it. I'm thinking it's a bug of some sort, although I'm not sure if KDE 5 on 13.2 is a *supported* and patched option.

back ...
Been watching different videos on FF, no sound but no crash (taskbar still available) Using OpenGL 3 and 2 Back on Xrender and trying Chromium After say 10sec. of video, the taskbar goes hided as if that feature was (still) on, and no way for me to make it reappear Could it be that my automatic hide feature is stuck on somewhere in the setings and because it is not "actually" on, then there is nothing to check where my cursor is and therefore my hovering toward my taskbar is of no effect ?? Anyway ... I'm due for ctrl-alt-supp again :( |

If you can't find a decent workaround, that's what I would do. Note Plasma 4 and 5 are not coinstallable, so you might want to run the package installation from a virtual terminal while the Plasma 5 packages are uninstalled before the Plasma 4 packages are installed.
