I’m experiencing a strange issue with my openSUSE setup. Every time I log in to my desktop, I encounter what looks like a pixel burn or graphical artifact on my screen (please see the attached image for reference). However, this issue only occurs on openSUSE; when I switch to Windows using the same monitor, everything works perfectly fine, and there’s no sign of this graphical glitch.
Here are the details:
OS: openSUSE
Desktop Environment: KDE
Issue: Pixelated horizontal bands or graphical glitch appears after login.
Troubleshooting Attempts: I’ve tried switching to a different monitor and updating my graphics drivers, but the issue persists.
I’m confident it isn’t a hardware issue, as the screen works fine under Windows. Could this be a graphics driver or configuration issue specific to openSUSE?
Any help or guidance on how to troubleshoot or fix this would be much appreciated!
I thought here they were called “code” tags like they used to be in the old forum software here and in other forums. Here, they are called PRE tags, which the </> icon above the input window can include for you. They are a pair of tags to be placed each on a line above and a line below the content you are pasting and/or typing, either ~~~ both above and below, or <pre> on the line above and </pre> on the line below. These preserve the content’s original formatting so that we can see more precisely what you saw.
Did this problem ever not exist using openSUSE, or had you only just installed it? If it was OK for some time prior, then do as @Svyatko suggested, report a bug.
