In the live session of GRUB, before booting, press e to edit the kernel boot line, and right after quiet add the ibt=off and then press F10 to save and continue booting. If that will improve the desktop experience, then you will have to add that same kernel boot parameter to your installed system.

tbhaxor · 31 January 2023 06:58

It dint work out for me. also tried with open source drivers. The best I can do right now is to use gnome version. KDE never worked for me with manjaro on my hardware (actually kde works, I am currently using kubuntu).

AspidovSS · 1 February 2023 18:43

I have same trouble nvidia+intel gpu in X11 sesion

Now your have 4 “solution”

Choose main and external monitor same framerate

OR

Downgrade kscreen and libkscreen to 5.25.5<= or Install Plasma LTSC ( include kscreen and libkscreen to 5.25.1<= )

sudo DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade kscreen libkscreen

affter reboot add kscreen libkscreen to ignore update

Not per-moment - When your log on in plasma, try to upload new desktop wallper, after refresh all to be normal ( after logout, need do it again )
Change session to Plasma Wayland.

Install

sudo pacman -S plasma-wayland-session

Log out and choose plasma (wayland)

Why this happens?

It only occurs on X11 when connecting an external monitor with a different framerate. When forcing the main monitor to match the external one’s framerate, the problem disappears. The problem also disappears when using Wayland so that’s what I’ve done now.

tbhaxor · 2 February 2023 07:07

Thanks, for the solution. but I need a solution to test this in live. I will only install KDE (which I want to do, currenly compromising with Gnome) if I can find the fix for this.
Also I checked when I tried booting ISO in the virtual box it is working fine but causing problem when I tried live usb. It is not clear to me

AspidovSS · 2 February 2023 08:51

The easiest way to fix it:

Go to system settings \display and monitor \ set same Refresh rate to all monitor
Or
use KDE Wayland

The next two more complicated options are
3.Downgrade kscreen and libkscreen to 5.25.5<= and ignore update
or
4.install optimus-manager and switch gpu to nvidia \ intel only

Or
5.When your log on in plasma, try to upload new desktop wallper, after refresh all to be normal ( after logout, need do it again )

tbhaxor · 2 February 2023 10:47

I will try in different system, not the main. But thankx

edumaes · 3 February 2023 12:09

The same issue here today.

tbhaxor · 3 February 2023 13:36

Can you try this fix for me? Panel icons disappears after hovering - #4 by AspidovSS

Let me know if it fixes, I will change to KDE

AspidovSS · 5 February 2023 13:57

Go to system settings \display and monitor \ set same Refresh rate to all monitor and restart your pc

tbhaxor · 6 February 2023 09:25

The refresh rates in primary monitor are: {120.04, 59.97, 59.96, 59.93, 48.1} and secondary monitor are {75, 60, 59.94, 50}

which one do you recommend, bold ones are curently selected

AspidovSS · 6 February 2023 12:41

Your need force setting in config.

In NVIDIA XServer Settings, disable OpenGL flipping, then set ForceCompositionPipeline=On for both displays (Display Configuration → Advanced… will need to save to X.org configuration file).
open Kosnsole and show xrandr

enter same
xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60
or config your xorg.conf

tbhaxor · 6 February 2023 14:01

Where I can find these settings

$ find / -iname xorg.conf 2> /dev/null
# returns nothing

Also, currently I am running gnome I tried changing to plasma from greeter session, but my display is freezing so had to fallback to the gnome for now. Can i do the changes (except xrandr) using gnome.

tbhaxor · 8 February 2023 03:45

So what I found is when I boot the system with external monitor attached, this issue happens. But when I attach the external monitor after login through sddm greeter, it works even I have different refresh rates of the monitors

Venture2022 · 18 March 2024 23:39

For me i fixed this with

sudo kcmshell6 qtquicksettings

And switched to OpenGL

restart and your icons appeared
it is temp solution tho
