Wayland session is fuzzy zig-zag noise after wake up from Sleep

Happens when

  • Wake up from Sleep (suspend) with KickOff-launcher or Power-button
  • In suspend with terminal by $ systemctl suspend

Does not happen

  • In X11
  • In gnome Wayland

Does anyone else have similar problem? The only thing I can do is restart computer.
I didn’t find this in https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Known_Significant_Issues or in KDE Bug Reports.

Is this possibly fixed in Plasma 6?

My system

P.s. The kernel is from Debian backports - thereby the +bpo in the name.

The log of the session $ sudo journalctl -b (before and after wake up from sleep) can be found in Plasma Wayland is severely shattered (electronic noise) after wake up from Sleep in Debian User Forum.

This is likely the same bug as 454639 – amdgpu driver: Flickering in Wayland session after suspend without lock screen enabled

Yes indeed.

The symptoms between these two patients are very similar, so we can conclude our diagnosis of this illness. And in the bug report it’s alleged that even cure is found…

So, my question is: When a bug status is RESOLVED UPSTREAM, when is this medicine available at the market - or at the nearest local pharmacy?

Seems that in Plasma 5.27.10 this decease was still in full force.

Thank you Jan. :hugs:from Jan to another Jan.

RESOLVED UPSTREAM unfortunately doesn’t imply that a bug is actually fixed on the upstream side ( => the amdgpu driver) – it merely states that as far as it is known this is a bug in a software component outside of KDE, and it is “resolved” in that sense that when the problem is somewhere upstream, that means there is (hopefully!) nothing that needs to be done on the KDE side to fix the bug.

Can’t tell whether it is likely that this will get fixed in the amdgpu driver – seems I didn’t report it upstream back then, likely because I got new hardware where this bug doesn’t affect me anymore.

But you could file a report here, and refer to the report on the KDE bug tracker:
