--- Comment #47 from Ric Grant <rich...@qweb.co.uk> --- 5.27 still isn't in stable yet on Gentoo, so I haven't been able to test myself, BUT something just occurred to me and I'm wondering if this is the same for all of us... This particular laptop has 8gb RAM and a 512mb swap. It's getting old now but at the time of configuring it, 8gb seemed plentiful and in my ignorance I didn't think I'd need to set much of a swap up. These days with Plasma being quite memory hungry in general, and the likes of Virtualbox guests eating away at remaining resources, I'm hitting that 8gb capacity frustratingly often, and spilling over into swap. What I'm now thinking, is that with so little swap space and so much memory in use, when I close the lid and trigger hibernation, there isn't enough swap for all in-memory data to dump to and perhaps that's why icon placements are getting lost? If on lid-open the system comes back out of hibernation, tries to restore whatever in-memory variables the desktop icons use, and finds that those variables aren't in the swap file so just regenerates them as empties then this would totally explain the skewed locations! Does this sound familiar to others experiencing this issue? I'll resize my partitions as soon as I get chance and confirm if that, or indeed the 5.27 changes do fix this for me, but in the meantime if everybody could just compare their memory and swap capacities, we might find that there isn't anybody here who actually has enough swap to properly hibernate into. Would explain why this has been a problem for so many years, only affecting some but not all devices. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
