I recently got a new laptop (a ThinkPad X220 with Intel i915 video card) and am running into a problem where KDE plasma-desktop will crash periodically. The bottom bar disappears and the background goes black (there aren't windows open over it) and after a second or so it starts back up again and seems to work fine for a while until it happens again (maybe every 10 minutes. I have seen similar behavior with SuSE 11.1 (I think), but in that case my home partition was full - there is plenty of space now.
I am running fully updated SuSE 11.4 KDE Base version 4.6.0-6.6.2-x86_64 from OpenSUSE-11.4-11.4-0 kdebase4-workspace is 4.6.0-10.15.1-x86_64
I have looked around on this, and can't seem to find anything, but I am not really sure what I am looking for. I have turned off all desktop effects. Logs can be found at the bottom of this message.
Thanks, -Jesse
<<<<< snip >>>>> Hi Jesse; Have you checked the settings for screen saver configuration? The every ten minutes sounds like a problem I used to have which turned out to be the X-windows system blanking the screen. I found a script that took of my problem. You could try it to see if it has any effect on your system (mine is a Dell Studio 1745 with Intel GM45express video). #! /bin/bash xset s noblank -dpms exit 0 I named it Xscreen.sh and put a link to it in autostart and haven't had any more blanking issues. Hope it solves your problem.
