Plasma可能受损，需要检查系统状态
Plasma可能受损，需要检查系统状态
So, this is a test Kubuntu install on a VirtualBox VM. It's not a 'I'll fire it up once every few days and check something', but an 'it's up and running with 3c/6t and half the RAM on my Xeon box 24/7 in it's own window', and I use it for about half of my daily use stuff that doesn't require a GPU or anything associated with it. This install of Kubuntu is basically stock, I haven't really modified much, but I've got a few things installed. Sweet theme and Candy icons, PulseEffects, Audicious, Discord, Steam, Firefox, pretty much just general stuff. So, what's happening: The UI seems to break. I have the task manager set to auto-hide, and sometimes, it just vanishes. It's there, the buttons work, but nothing is visible. The default application launcher menu will break, it is there, but nothing is visible. The Task Manager Settings has tick boxes, but no text. Text seems to occasionally break, sometimes not being visible, sometimes being extremely slow in loading in. If I move my mouse over the buttons in the task manager, the preview box appears, but it's 100% transparent and nothing is visible in it. Is this an issue with running Kubuntu in a VM? Is there a way to reset Plasma back to 100% stock, unmodifed state, without doing a complete restore or reinstall of the VM? I've searched for this issue, but 99% of search results are for Ubuntu Gnome issues, and 100% not helpful. I love Plasma, I love the look, feel, behavior, I just don't quite get this issue, and I don't really want to use Gnome. This is a long term test, if it goes well, and I can scrape $1,150 together, I'll be migrating this old Xeon over to Kubuntu for the rest of it's useful life. Edit: Just to make one thing apparent: I am NOT afraid of terminal. Terminal commands are 100% fine, I just need to know which ones to use. Other than Steam and Discord, everything, and I mean everything, on this VM was installed via terminal.
It's similar to releasing gas but much hotter. If there were a reset, I wouldn't rely on it unless I had one myself. Ultimately, Linux remains Linux. A distribution is just a collection of programs built on top of the base. Various ones exist for different distributions. You could even create your own from Debian. As far as I know, Debian was released around 10 DVDs ago. I'd prefer a clean reinstall or restoring from backups before issues arose.
Running on Windows 10 Pro inside VirtualBox suggests the problem lies in Linux. I have ample storage, so I’ll install Kubuntu again to check if the issue persists.
Turning off 3D acceleration makes everything partially invisible except for menus and control panels. Windows remain unaffected.
I thought so. The parts I needed to read clearly were easy to see, so it wasn’t a big problem. Still, I believe it’s time to detach Windows from that machine and try Kubuntu on the hardware for a while. I plan to bring out my old drives and use some SSDs I already have, but I still don’t have the $1,000 required for the 10TB storage solution.
You can remove or relocate any k*/plasma connected files from ~/.config. It's normal for major plasma, Qt, or KDE updates to cause issues, so I've handled this myself several times. For your setup, it might be better to start with a fresh user that comes with its own environment and then gradually adjust until everything works smoothly. Right now, I use Win10AME inside a QEMU VM—it runs faster and more efficiently than the native version on the hardware.
Virtualized performance always lags behind physical hardware. I’m unfamiliar with win10ame. The focus seems to be on home, pro, and enterprise setups. There appear to be intentional flaws or “financial tricks” that affect speed and efficiency, especially for Microsoft’s profit motives. Removing these could improve performance significantly. This version might also be restricted on non-virtual platforms or servers owned by Microsoft, potentially embedding special code. If win10ame is a typo for win10 home, it could indicate deliberate optimization only for controlled environments. Edited May 14, 2022 by Bombastinator
