I have nVidia card in a well ventilated midi tower temperature of chip at 44 degrees C.

To install Gentoo I use sysrescuecd.Based on Gentoo,has firefox to browse Gentoo docs and mc to browse (and edit) files.
The same disk can be used for 32 and 64 bit installs.

Oh, maybe the driver? It's really a long time since I don't use a
nvidia card so I am just thinking

@Rokushou,
I don't think you've done any troubleshooting professionally.
The clock problem is definitely a plasma problem.
I opened "Digital clock settings" and changed the font style.
The moment I pressed the apply button all 4 digits were back.
But of course this is a hardware/x11-driver problem?
Gerard.

Edit:Since changing the font it looks like the problem has gone.

@gerard27
Actually I do all the time but since I don't have the problem
I am just guessing here, I don't wanted to push any idea or discredit
your knowledge.

In any case, it is completely unrelated to the topic in this thread. And yes, a partially rendered/frozen (part of the) panel after VT switch is well within the ballpark of a graphics driver issue, not unreasonable to suggest.

OK, I am posting again cuz it's been a year since the post I made, and ervery thing still the same.

I was wonder if I am the only one still having this issue...?

At wotk Kbuntu 17.04 and 17.10, my mom's laptop Kubuntu 17.10 doesn't have this issue anymore.

I don't like Unbuntu flavors and like, and I know they tweak upstream code, but since this is and upstream issue
I am just checking...

C'mon guys & girls, no one has this issue anymore..?

I'm not looking to flame, I'm just wanna know.


It's has something to do with having a mechanic disk instead of a ssd...?

In 2021, I still see the problem of desktop icons moving from where I put them when I log out and log in sometimes, but not always. I use activities instead of virtual desktop. They always stay put if I shut the machine down and reboot.
