hi,

display of desktop corrupt after update to openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190125
both on 32 and 64bit os’s

desktop shows correctly after running systemsettings5 and toggling display
resolutions. on exiting the following is shown

SSD-100GB<2019-01-29 23:42:17><~>… systemsettings5
QCoreApplication::arguments: Please instantiate the QApplication object first
kscreen: Requesting missing EDID for outputs (81, 82)
.
kscreen: Requesting missing EDID for outputs (81, 82)
SSD-100GB<2019-01-29 23:44:01><~>

the display is always corrupt after cold boot

anyone resolved this situation

cheers

I’m not seeing a problem at present.

Cabling problem?? EDID is the handshake protocol used to set resolution of a monitor

Hardware problems have not been considered as occurrence is seen on two independent machines.

  1. Laptop with 32bit OS.

  2. PC with 64bit OS.

The mis-configuration on both is identical.

I have not detected any problem of the Desktop with the last update, you have tried to login to enter with IceWM if it works try to rename the configuration files among the hidden files

hi,

thanks to all for the assistance

IceWM and new user account boot without problems,
so its in the user configuration files,
not sure how to approach deletions

except deleted .kde4, but that made no difference

when the offending file is found, I will come back on this

this anomaly does not affect hibernation (normal mode of operation)
so it is not a real deal at the moment.

cheers

Most of the relevant configuration will be in files in “.config”. There might be some in “.local/share”.

Perhaps you should first try:

/bin/rm -rf .cache

Try this, whilst not logged in on the desktop:


rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen
