Hey, I am experiencing a problem with my setup, dual CSF Sapphire R9 290 with Catalyst and two monitors; it’s the same in Arch linux (minus the mouse corruptions and the others) see here, not much echo about it in the arch community though https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=203908 . Every time Plasma starts (even when re-logging), but sometimes even after a longer usage time (the behavior is purely random, tried in the last few months to figure an action/application/etc related to it, nothing except when Plasma somehow starts) I get a default look, with the default wallpaper and no widgets. I have to right click desktop > Add widgets, then my widgets are coming back, my wallpaper so on. Using a Dell monitor and my Samsung TV (connected through a Yamaha A/V receiver) with same full HD resolution, in clone mode if it makes any difference.
Anyone else with the same problem? Is it Plasma 5 or the dreadful Catalyst drivers? Or something else?
Nice work on Leap, BTW! For now seems the best distro to experience Plasma 5! But I think you should drop that ugly menu with ugly icons, and use instead the default Plasma 5 one; if you are not trying to appeal to Windows Millenium fanbase that is. Seems also so … gnomish for you. Here and there, users are also getting some ugly icons, clearly not from the Breeze theme, what is going on, they had a huge update fixing everything icon related?
Funny note: back from Arch where I am having this issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=203161 At the first shutdown openSUSE Leap froze on me (after the installation and a few more tweaks and packages) - almost smashed my PC and my wife got a heart attack because of the screams, and swears. Was going nuts with this one on Arch right from the start. But it’s fine in fact - had to remove the installer stick from the repolist, else you got quite a few errors if it’s not connected. Why is that, any thoughts?
