Thanks. I'm thrilled to report that I'm back in Plasma and it is behaving itself again (so far) after doing the latest full-upgrade.On Mon, Aug 06, 2018 at 03:03:57PM -0400, Gary Dale wrote:I'm not even sure where to report this problem since I can't identify a specific package that is causing it. However since Gnome Flashback seems to be working, I'd guess that it is in the flashier desktop elements.You can report a bug against the pseudo-package "general" if you aren't sure what's at fault, but it's possibly better to ask here first, as you have, to see if people can help narrow down the problem. What graphics hardware do you have (e.g. nvidia), and have you installed any drivers from outside Debian to use it?
As for non-debian drivers, I don't have any. The worst I've done is include non-free firmware for my NIC.
Despite my earlier success with Gnome Flashback, it took to locking up when I tried to bring the computer back after the screen saver kicked in. Turning off the suspend mode cured that. I note that under KDE, I actually have just been locking the screen.
Hopefully whatever nastiness caused me two days of pain using Gnome Flashback has been resolved.
