[00:32] ahoneybun[m] and ahoneybun[m] I recently file the same bug against 5.27.2 and discussed it with Nate who closed it. It appears it is an issue with older libs that need to get KDE patched. [00:32] ^^ ahoneybun[m] and arraybolt3 [00:32] whoopsie. [00:35] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466689 [00:36] -ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- KDE bug 466689 in systemsettings "System Settings Crash After Applying Global Theme" [Crash, Resolved: Duplicate] [00:36] Adding injury to insult, Dr. Konqi crashed when reporting the bug. [00:48] So weird discovery: running chrome 110, text is garbled on some sites. Run in incognito window, text looks fine. [01:37] chrome is rather crappy since the last update [01:38] it sometimes crashes every 5 mins! [01:38] will not load certain sites [01:38] but as you say, incognito works [01:38] as does unstable from a flatpak [01:39] too bad FF is still junk [01:39] I ran it for 20 years [02:28] valorie: Yeah, it's so odd and annoying. BTW, this is Intel i915 + Chrome only. Nvidia + Chrome looks fantastic. Workaround for i915 + Chrome: turn on Vulkan. It fixes rending issue after full restart, but then restart takes 15-30s. [02:28] grrr [02:30] I have nvidia and no rendering probs, but the other stuff is endlessly annoying [02:30] Oh, interestingly, the best app to test this is "theLounge". [02:31] I get the most crashes while using gmail, which makes zero sense [02:31] Yeah, I only notice it on the NUC. We had put a bunch of fixes in for flicker on the i915, including ensuring night color is off by default (that causes flicker in games). [02:31] But after the latest chrome update, now this. [02:31] it's a pile of poo [02:32] fwiw, chrome:flags is where one can set vulkan. [02:32] I guess it will just need to be an article and a bug report. [02:32] Ah, well. [02:32] That's valorie :) [02:33] I have not filed BRs, to be fair [02:33] mostly because it happens mid-email [02:33] I just restart it and finish the email [02:33] ha [02:34] oh, sorry, I that was supposed to say "Thanks" valorie [02:34] sometimes my fingers run away from me... [02:34] heh [02:34] here as well [02:34] fwiw, this works too: https://steemit.com/screen/@cryptobur/how-to-prevent-annoying-screen-tearing-in-chrome [02:35] Turn off acceleration. Lemme see if restart is good ... [02:35] ah yes, much better [02:35] Appears that is preferred over the vulkan fix then. cc arraybolt3 [02:35] He has this issue too. [02:36] ok, back to bisecting 5.27.2 installation. [07:32] Sometimes kernel updates do not go too well : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/6d544969/file_63908.jpg [07:32] https://irc-attachments.kde.org/f6bc99d8/file_63909.jpg [07:35] I'm just hoping this is Ubuntu-specific and with some future kernels everything will return to it's normal state === guiverc2 is now known as guivec === guivec is now known as guiverc [09:05] X: Oy, I know the feeling. [09:07] Last year, there were quite a few kernel update issues. It's true for Ubuntu and MS. There are just so many hardware platforms that it is impossible to test for all of them. [09:09] At kfocus, we test on all systems ever sold. It is a lot of work. [23:30] https://namakutux.blogspot.com/2023/03/how-to-install-kde-527x-on-kubuntu-2204.html?m=1 [23:30] Someone found it!
