Graphical artifacting on 20240730

After updating TW to the latest release, I’m once again experiencing graphical artifacts on KDE Plasma. Specifically, the top half of my desktop flickers when opening the overview and when windows come in contact with my top panel (just a normal KDE panel).

Description    : 
    Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to

    OpenGL license from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a

Hm, I’m seeing a LOT of this warning printed in journalctl -b:

Jul 31 13:08:57 desktop-suse kwin_wayland[9337]: kwin_scene_opengl: 0x3: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glDrawBuffers(unsupported buffer GL_BACK_LEFT)

Could this be a clue?

@maisylover very likely…

Edit: open a terminal session and as your user run xrandr --output DP-3 --set TearFree on does that help?

6 
❯ xrandr --output DP-3 --set TearFree on
X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  141 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request:  22
  Current serial number in output stream:  22

This didn’t work. I am using Wayland, by the way.

7

@maisylover ahh missed that bit :wink: Maybe disable tearing prevention in “System Settings” → “Display and Monitors” → “tearing prevention”
Ref: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2155436#p2155436

Hmm, this is what I see:

image1105×770 91.7 KB

Un-checking “Screen tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows” doesn’t fix the problem.

@maisylover I’m not a Plasma or AMD user, hopefully someone else can advise.

For additional information, this update is the one that causes the issue to show up. Are any of these packages used by or a part of the graphics stack or KDE Plasma?

The following product is going to be upgraded:
  openSUSE Tumbleweed  20240726-0 -> 20240731-0  x86_64  Main Repository (OSS)  openSUSE

The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed:

  virtualbox-kmp-default  7.0.18_k6.10.1_1-1.13  x86_64  Main Repository (OSS)  openSUSE

The following package requires a system reboot:
  kernel-default  6.10.2-1.1  x86_64  Main Repository (OSS)  openSUSE

104 packages to upgrade, 2 new.

Package download size:   435.6 MiB

Package install size change:
              |      1.33 GiB  required by to be installed packages
   260.5 MiB  |  -   1.08 GiB  released by to be removed packages

    Note: System reboot required.
11

Could these be causing issues perhaps? I don’t use X11, though. Then again, it could likely be anything, so I’m kinda at a loss at this point.

12

the previous inxi output says X11/Xorg is used too

  Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.21.1.12 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.1
    compositor: kwin_wayland driver: X

I’d blame vulkan firstly, but easier to test out by switching (relogin) to plasma-x11 (i.e. excluding wayland compositor)

13

Hm, that’s interesting. I have X11 installed, since openSUSE TW installs both X11 and Wayland backends by default. I was logged into the Plasma (Wayland) shell at the time of running inxi, so I assumed that any X11 info showing up there was either not in use, or for Xwayland. Sure, I’ll log into Plasma (X11) and see if the issue persists.

14

Okay, logging into Plasma (X11) did not resolve the issue.

Also, I’ve now updated to 7/31 release:

X11/Xorg is too rich in API and used too widely to get rid so easy. I suppose it will be impossible to have a decent linux desktop without X11/Xorg bindings for a long time.

logging into Plasma (X11) did not resolve the issue

so it’s something deeper, not sure but probably it’d a good question to some specific to KDE forum

16

A KDE bug report is probably the best way forward here
https://bugs.kde.org/

Also, I note that you have 144Hz displays in use. For test purposes try dropping the refresh rate down and see whether that has any effect.

17

Well, I’m not sure what changed, but I just updated successfully and the desktop doesn’t have the problem anymore!
