KDE partially broken after upgrade

KDE seems to be partially borked up after I did a recent upgrade.

Everything seems to be fine, then I just close the laptop (I guess it goes to sleep).. when I wake it back up, the system bar/panel of each UI application that was open just goes away.
Eg: If I had a chromium window open before, now the system bar would just have disappeared.

Known issue? Nobody else has hit this?

Re: KDE partially broken after upgrade

I have upgraded kdebase-workspace too but everything seems OK. Except of the issue when i log in my windows when dragging around were somewhat tearing but that was because upgrade switched from Opengl to Xrender. When i changed it everything is OK again.

You should tell your comp specs and post your Xorg log.

EDIT 1: I am taking my previous statements back. I experience the same problem as you. Soon i will post the logs.

My specs are: i686, Intel integrated graphic card, ASUS k50ij laptop, Dual core centrino.

Re: KDE partially broken after upgrade

Similar (I think) problem here, it seems KDE's widget style has disappeared somewhere. If you go to System Settings -> Application Appearance, there in widget style there is CDE, CleanLooks, GTK+ style, MS Windows 9x, Motif & Plastique. Didn't there used to be oxygen widget style too? My widget style was automatically changed to CDE, the first one in list.

Maybe that is why the systembar/panel is disappearing. Unless I have understood your problem completely wrong, in that case, let me know so that I can start a separate thread.

Re: KDE partially broken after upgrade

I updated again today. Saw there was a kde-base update.
Issue seems to have been fixed now.  Are you guys seeing this too?

After a day or so of use, I'll close the thread if that has fixed it.

It turned out my issue was completely different, found a solution in an old post. So, if your issue is fixed, you can go ahead and just close it.

Re: KDE partially broken after upgrade

Well, i am still from time to time experiencing the issue. The xorg file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-UMoB … sp=sharing

Potential problems:

(EE) intel: Failed to load module "dri3" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption: Invalid argument.
