Desktop effects stopped working after latest update on my KDE-Plasma

[j1shnu]

hi,
Tried every desktop effects(wobbly window, magic lamp and etc....) , but nothing is working and it was working fine before update.
i have amd-gpu installed and openGl shows like this ( OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 8.0 256 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 19.1.1 ).
compositor is enabled.

And this is the o/p of glxinfo | grep -i opengl

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 8.0, 256 bits)
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 19.1.1
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 19.1.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.40
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 19.1.1
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00

Can somebody please help to fix this..

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

$ inxi -Fxxxz

SORRY THIS IS MY 1ST POST IN THIS FORUM.

[SGS]

No problem, we all start sometimes ,and welcome .

[SGS]

You use Realtime kernel, why?
You try other kernel to fix this problem?

[j1shnu]

OKAY i'll try LTS one (4.19.56-1). Is that fine?

[SGS]

Yes, or 5.1.16-1

[j1shnu]

It's not there. There is this 5.1.15-1. is that fine?

[SGS]

Yes, sorry I am on unstable with other kernel

[j1shnu]

Tried both 4.19.56-1 and 5.1.15-1, but still having the same issue.

[Sinister]

Try resetting the Compositor. Turn it off, apply it. Then re-apply it.
Also, try switching between the different openGL setting (2.0 and 3.1), or try xrender.
See if that will slap it into cooperating.

[j1shnu]

Tried. But still it didn't help.

[Librewish]

Install kwin-lowlatency from aur and check.

[j1shnu]

Installed and restarted but still same.

[Librewish]

Okay do this.
Remove or move ~/.config

Create new user

[j1shnu]

First sorry for this late reply. I was in a vacation.

Okay done that. I created a new user after installing kwin-lowlatency but still nothing changed .

Btw i have a doubt... i can only see these wobbly window, magic lamp and etc.. effects after unchecking "Exclude desktop effects not supported by the compositor". Is that a problem?
