Hi,
I did a general update today, and since then I have screen problems (in KDE5/Qt environment): window borders are blinking; when I open menus, they suddenly close after a short time, and so on; the terminal cursor (Konsole) also is randomly blinking. After some research (I tried to delete configuration files and so on...) it finally seems that the problem comes from akonadi. If I start akonadi (akonadictl start) AND I give the password for the GPG key, the screen problems start. When I stop akonadi (akonadictl stop), the problems stop. Note that it seems that the problem doesn't happen with only akonadi active, but when I also enter the GPG password. It can happen even if I don't launch kontact. But I'm not sure this is relevant. With this problem, the system is quite unusable in conjunction with akonadi. I can't open any menu for more than a half second, which is the main problem. Note that the problems not only happen on KDE/Qt applications, but also GTK (I can't decently open the Firefox bookmarks menu). Additional info: - concerned package (?): akonadi-16.08.2-1 - OS: Archlinux x86_64, plasma5 + KF5, completely up-to-date - MB: Asus P8Z77-VLE, with Intel i5-3570, 8GB Corsair RAM Steps to reproduce: - turn on the desktop - use akonadi/launch kontact and enter the GPG password when asked Steps to stop: - turn off akonadi I'm available to give any other relevant information. Regards, RK |
This task depends upon
- downgrading akonadi (16.08.2 -> 16.08.1) doesn't solve the problem.
- when I delete all the akonadi related stuff in ~/.config (all files starting with akonadi*), the problem disappears. Something is going on with some of those files. Maybee some problem with the migration ?
