Hello guys. I posted this problem elsewhere but I’ve yet to find a solution. I’m experiencing an extremely annoying issue in which the monitor keeps disconnecting and reconnecting in loop post login after a system update. I’ve first experienced this issue with fedora after updating my system and installing nvidia graphics card. I then tried Bazzite, same exact issue, but at least with Bazzite I can roll back the update, which is a temporary solution. There are several culprits that could be causing this issue:
-
Kernel update
-
Nvidia drivers update
-
Wayland
-
All of the above
Is anyone else experiencing this exact issue? And if so, any solution besides rolling back the update? Any help is appreciated.
Relevant specs:
-
Nvidia RTX 3060ti GPU
-
Intel Core i5 11400F CPU
-
Asus Prime B560M-K motherboard
-
Samsung Odyssey G5 Monitor (connected through displayport)
It is related to the Samsung screen. There‘s a kde bug since Plasma 6.2 where this is happening. Long story short: disable ddc (look up your plasma-powerdevil.service file (mine was in /usr/lib/systemd/user) and add Environment=“POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL=1” to it. Save, restart powerdevil (or reboot) and it shouldn‘t happen anymore.)
See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494522 for reference. Hope it works
