[SOLVED] Plasma Desktop Icons & Taskbar missing next day

ati rv370

Are you using the Radeon driver on EOS?

Some info from Gentoo
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#xorg.conf

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ATI#Xorg_configuration

Do both systems use the same $SHELL ? Which one(s) do they use?

I’m going to mark this solved.

Last/FINAL issue was icons still showing, but desktop was locked, but not open windows.

The original solve was when I first changed the video card,
everything working great, went from the
RV370 [Radeon X300] to the RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series]
No driver updates or changes need, booted straight to destop and no issues for 2 days’ish.

I assume it’s the card going bad… “BAD CARD, BAD -->SHAME!” :stuck_out_tongue:

BUT, while using the new card, Mesa and something else updated…maybe there was fixes?

IDK, but I put a note on the old card I’ll see 2 years from now,
and put it in my box where the newer, old card was…
I mean everyone has a parts box, shelf or room right? haha

Thank you for the helps.

I think we need a new video of the card being retired from service. :wink:
