switching to/from full window console kills plasma

Aeterna · 07-25-2023, 08:32 PM

Maybe I am missing something but last time I was switching to/from full window console it worked, now, after switching back to Plasma, GUI is frozen. I have to use ctrl-alt-backspace to restart Plasma.

Is there a way to fix this?

ARe you on current and an nvidia card? It's a problem that's been happening with the 6.1 kernels and up. (There's a whole thread on it a few pages back.)

Slackware64-current here (Tue Jul 25 19:45:27 UTC 2023)

I have a NVIDIA card.

Code:

# inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] driver: nvidia v: 470.199.02
  Display: server: X.Org v: 21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 23.1.2 driver: X:
    loaded: nvidia gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch resolution: 1366x768~60Hz
  API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 470.199.02 renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GT
    730/PCIe/SSE2

Switching to console <Ctrl-Alt-F2 thru F6> and back to GUI (KDE Plasma) <Ctrl-Alt-F1> works. There is a short delay and KWin Window Manager puts out a Notification that "Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset".

I am sorry. I did not provide basic information:
I am on Slackware-current 64-bit updated

Thank you for your replies.

For X window managers (WM) & desktop environments (DE) in general, if I switch back to a pure terminal (tty) then back into X, it usually kills it... not freezes, but entirely kills and I get a log why it crashed.
