skramerDoes anybody have an idea, why SDDM does not respect changed wallpaper? It always switches back to the default. (22.04)06:40
skramerThen, sometimes it does not remember window positions even if it only went to lock screen. Then all windows are moved to laptop screen. Strange....06:42
skramerFinally, programs are randomly closed when going to lock screen or standby. I can not predict which ones, it's always different. The  only one predictable is Discord...06:44
mmikowskiskramer: Wayland? X11?07:00
mmikowskiI believe sddm is always X. But the lock screen is different.07:01
skramermmikowski: It's X07:02
mmikowskiThat's managed by plasma IIRC.07:02
skramerGraphics is Nvidia proprietary, if that makes any difference07:03
mmikowskiI'm not seeing that here on 5.27.3 on Nvidia proprietary.07:03
mmikowskiMaybe it's corrupt configs? fwiw, I just debugged a setup and it didn't get fully reset until I deleted ~/.config and ~/.cache/*07:04
skramerI have 5.24.7 running on 22.0407:04
mmikowskiNot suggesting you should do that.07:04
mmikowskifwiw, that debug was on 5.24.7 on Intel.07:04
mmikowskihehe07:04
mmikowskiToday, tested lock screen on Nvidia proprietary too.07:05
mmikowskiHowever - icons and widgets moving is a known issue which was improved in 5.24.7 but not completely fixed IME.07:05
skramerWhat I find quite "interesting", this is a fresh install. The previous one that came since 18.04 (even longer) did not show any issues07:06
mmikowskiIt is more problematic with multiple displays. I recall Nate saying that 5.27 got some serious work on making sure stuff doesn't move anymore.07:06
mmikowskiIt does seem much better, overall.07:07
mmikowskiYes, the "stuff-moving-on-my-desktop" got far more common in 22.04. (5.24.x).07:07
skramerHmm, it does not really make sense that it seemed to be working well before and now we have those issues (:07:08
mmikowskioutside of a few minor bugs, plasma with 20.04 was quite solid.07:08
skramerMaybe I should restart installing 20.04 and then upgrade to 22.0407:09
mmikowskiskramer: Please, you *don't* want to try that :P07:09
skramerNot really :D07:10
mmikowskiMajor release upgrades are always challenging.07:10
mmikowskiIME, clean installs are *far* better.07:10
mmikowskiThe challenge with updates is they inevitably leave cruft lying around.07:11
skramerNo, as I mentioned... I made good experiences in upgrading 18.04 > 20.04 > 22.04. But now, on fresh install...07:11
mmikowskiWow, that's odd.07:11
skramerStill, I don't want to go back to 20.04 just to upgrade it afterwards07:11
mmikowskiI doubt that's it. My guess is there is something weird happening in your configs.07:12
mmikowskifwiw, I just had an issue with Chrome scaling incorrectly on an HDPI screen.07:12
mmikowskiBut creating a fresh user and testing, and it worked fine.07:12
mmikowskiThat's when I deleted the .cache/* and ~/.config files as a test. After that, everything worked fine.07:13
mmikowskiThis is in a test lab with lots of machines, so we can do that easily.07:13
skramerThat's it! Not considered that yet... Yeah, I will create a new user on my machine & see what happens07:14
skramerYou made my day07:14
mmikowskiFor you, perhaps set aside ~/.config and blow away ~/.cache/* in a VT (not when logged in).07:14
mmikowskiThen you can move back configs as needed.07:14
mmikowskiYeah, if the fresh user works, that's a great way forward.07:14
mmikowskiGlad to help.07:15
mmikowskiAlso, System Settings > Appearance > Global Theme, select a theme and include the layout.07:15
mmikowskiThat might fix the issue too.07:15
skramermmikowski: May I ask where you are from? I'm from Germany, Saxony07:16
mmikowskikfocus.org :)07:16
mmikowskiCastro Valley CA.07:16
mmikowskiskramer: I need to call it a night - it's past midnight here. Best of luck with your setup!07:17
skramermmikowski: Thank you & good night07:18
mmikowskinn!07:18

Guest7099Is anyone having problems with timeshift? My Snapshots keep failing to create. "Synching files with rsync...15:03
Guest7099E: rsync returned an error15:03
Guest7099E: Failed to create new snapshot15:03
Guest7099Failed to create snapshot"15:03
Guest7099I heard downgrading rsync might do the trick, but i'm not sure how to correctly do that.15:05
