lordievaderGood morning07:01
iomari891greetings, I keep losing my plasma effects and have to relogin to get them back. This becoming more frequent everyday. Today I booted my laptop and no effects were active on the initial boot. This is the 1st time that I noticed that it happend on a fresh boot. I'm usung kubuntu 21.04 and it's latest plasma.07:38
valorieiomari891: please check the permissions in your HOME (usually called by your username)07:40
valorieit sounds as if you have used a sudo command when you shouldn't have, which changed the permission in the ~/.config folder so your choices are not being saved07:41

BluesKajHi all12:21
magic_ninjaI'm having issues with the compositor. I used to be able to enable/disable without any issues. Now, when disabled, firefox won't start. It crashes.13:21
magic_ninjaI also get random crashes.13:21
BluesKajwhy disable it?13:26
magic_ninjaThat isn't really relevant, as it shouldn't be happening.13:27
magic_ninjaSorry, I don't want to go into a long deal about why I'm doing what I'm doing, when I've been doing it for years and now a problem has presented itself.13:28
BluesKajI haven't bothered disabling the compositor for yrs so i'm not aware of any bugs or problems with disabling it13:29
magic_ninjathere haven't been any issues for me ever13:30
oerhekswayland or xorg?13:30
magic_ninjabut I've updated and now there is an issue and a bug report can't be filed, or it can't be troubleshot if I have no clue what part of the system is doing it or what logs to check and see what is happening.13:31
magic_ninjaoerheks, xorg13:31
magic_ninjabut firefox won't start, plasmashell freezes up13:33
magic_ninjaI can turn on compositor and it snaps right back13:33
magic_ninjaI want to try clearing out my configuration files13:33
magic_ninjaI've had a few "black screen" startups here and there. I think it might help13:34
BluesKajbrb13:34
magic_ninjabrb13:34
magic_ninjaokay, I reset my work space13:37
BluesKajhmm, disabled the compositor...no issues so far, firefox launches and holds13:39
magic_ninjai just had to reboot because it locked everything up13:42
BluesKajdriver issues maybe ?13:42
magic_ninjatried three drivers13:42

magic_ninjathe problem is gone now. I ended up having to get a daily build ISO to get past that shim bug and I'm up and running.16:04

IrcsomeBot<Anarchotaoist> How can I start x? I crashed and when I reboot I have this above. It looks like a TTY but does not accept commands.17:53
IrcsomeBot<Anarchotaoist> Ctrl + alt F2 does nothing.17:53
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Use any other device to format usb (re @Anarchotaoist: Ugh! So, I am going to have to re-install my Kubuntu. Now another problem - my other machine is refusing to mount my USB sticks - AGAIN! This happened a week ago and I discovered exfat-utils and exfat-fuse were no longer installed. After installing and reformating the stick it worked.  Now Ventoy will not mount! I reformatted it and it will still not mount. I mount it from KDEpartition man17:53
