It’s happen after long time idle (near one hour), my laptop (with hybrid graphic card intel/nvidia) seems to be awake with desktop but… I can’t click anywhere: applications and taskbar are frozen.
My workaround is to open a VTY with [Alt]+[Shift]+[F3] , login then launching htop (with column ‘command’ and tree view) and kill (-7) kwin_x11
kwin_x11 is automaticaly restarted (I’ve to go back to [Alt]+[Shift]+[F2] ) and I could close my documents before a restart (I don’t want to continue a strange session).
Does someone has the same problem? Are they others solutions?
I’ve cleaned kde cache, update system, etc.
Problem is there since kde6 (and I’m not an expert of log files that could help for troubleshooting this)
The same happened to me. When I turned off the display and slept overnight, the screen got stuck when I turned it on the next day. I had to restart kwin_x11 to continue using it. This was very frustrating for me.

Does this also happen when using Wayland?

I can’t use wayland because nvidia issue with second screen (HDMI output isn’t seen).
Linux sound like to be stable and fun, but without second screen, without nvidia, without KDE
Humor appart, I’m trying to understand why and how this happens to open a ticket at nvidia or kde support: but I’m not enough experimented to know where to search…
Instead of killing kwin_x11
, try the following command which is the correct way to restart Plasma 6 without closing your open apps:
kquitapp6 plasmashell; kstart plasmashell
The output of inxi -zv8
& error logs would be quite helpful in diagnosing what is causing the session freezes.

Possibly you can change the settings on the monitor itself. Some monitors apparently default to auto – you might be able to change that to see if magic happens.
Good luck.

It’s more complex: [HowTo] Use Wayland with proprietary NVIDIA drivers
I remember manjaro team have to reverse back to an older nvidia driver to avoid a bug (from Nvidia).
Ah yes, Nvidia… always Nvidia. I suppose I was fortunate in choosing AMD graphics. So many seem to have a wide range of issues with Nvidia/Wayland combinations.
I’ve been using an RX 580 with Wayland for about a year without any issues. All I can do is wish you luck.
Cheers.

Yeah more experimental setup’s has more problems.
But using Manjaro KDE on a single GPU with a single Monitor.
Is a solid experience.
I read somewhere that nvidia has energy saving problem’s.
Is this a option for you to disable this feature?
I can power off and on my Monitor connected with Display Port on my PC with my nvidia card under KDE without problems. But if this is related to HDMI or a dual GPU issue or dual Monitor issue? IDK

inxi -zv8
Hi @scotty65 !
I’ve tried tonight your solution (kquitapp6 plasmashell
), but it doesn’t work. An error message said:
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: from 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
A killed again x11 and it went back but without menu bar, I’ve had to write kstart plasmashell
in a previously console.

Going this far into swap space will cause issues. That’s about the point when mine starts to struggle.
What’s eating up all the RAM? Browser session a possibility, if playing lots of YouTube videos. But I often get weeks of uptime (sometimes longer) even with quite heavy use, before all the memory leaks from Firefox accumulate and start causing excess swap usage.
Restarting Firefox (when it starts to get sluggish, in my case a few days to a week or two, usually) clears a lot out, but not all of it.
I find it handy to have watch -n30 free -h
running in a Terminal. Adjust that value to a lower one (maybe 5 seconds) and keep an eye on it when you are running programs (especially the browser, as mentioned above!).
