[00:32] <mmikowski> 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] <mmikowski> ^^ ahoneybun[m] and arraybolt3
[00:32] <mmikowski> whoopsie.

[00:36] -ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- KDE bug 466689 in systemsettings "System Settings Crash After Applying Global Theme" [Crash, Resolved: Duplicate]
[00:36] <mmikowski> Adding injury to insult, Dr. Konqi crashed when reporting the bug.
[00:48] <mmikowski> So weird discovery: running chrome 110, text is garbled on some sites. Run in incognito window, text looks fine. 
[01:37] <valorie> chrome is rather crappy since the last update
[01:38] <valorie> it sometimes crashes every 5 mins!
[01:38] <valorie> will not load certain sites
[01:38] <valorie> but as you say, incognito works
[01:38] <valorie> as does unstable from a flatpak
[01:39] <valorie> too bad FF is still junk
[01:39] <valorie> I ran it for 20 years
[02:28] <mmikowski> 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] <mmikowski> grrr
[02:30] <valorie> I have nvidia and no rendering probs, but the other stuff is endlessly annoying
[02:30] <mmikowski> Oh, interestingly, the best app to test this is "theLounge".
[02:31] <valorie> I get the most crashes while using gmail, which makes zero sense
[02:31] <mmikowski> 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] <mmikowski> But after the latest chrome update, now this.
[02:31] <valorie> it's a pile of poo
[02:32] <mmikowski> fwiw, chrome:flags is where one can set vulkan.
[02:32] <mmikowski> I guess it will just need to be an article and a bug report.
[02:32] <mmikowski> Ah, well.
[02:32] <mmikowski> That's valorie :)
[02:33] <valorie> I have not filed BRs, to be fair
[02:33] <valorie> mostly because it happens mid-email
[02:33] <valorie> I just restart it and finish the email
[02:33] <valorie> ha
[02:34] <mmikowski> oh, sorry, I that was supposed to say "Thanks" valorie
[02:34] <mmikowski> sometimes my fingers run away from me...
[02:34] <valorie> heh
[02:34] <valorie> here as well
[02:34] <mmikowski> fwiw, this works too: https://steemit.com/screen/@cryptobur/how-to-prevent-annoying-screen-tearing-in-chrome
[02:35] <mmikowski> Turn off acceleration. Lemme see if restart is good ...
[02:35] <mmikowski> ah yes, much better
[02:35] <mmikowski> Appears that is preferred over the vulkan fix then. cc arraybolt3
[02:35] <mmikowski> He has this issue too.
[02:36] <mmikowski> ok, back to bisecting 5.27.2 installation.
 Sometimes kernel updates do not go too well : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/6d544969/file_63908.jpg

 I'm just hoping this is Ubuntu-specific and with some future kernels everything will return to it's normal state
[09:05] <mmikowski> X: Oy, I know the feeling.
[09:07] <mmikowski> 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] <mmikowski> At kfocus, we test on all systems ever sold. It is a lot of work.
