Not a script, but I did use kwin-bismuth, but uninstalled that to rule it out.
I wonder if the windows are trying to tile / kwin is trying to use bismuth
decoration even though bismuth is not installed anymore?

The first window I open flashes up very quickly (in a tiny square) then
disappears.

If I login to tty3 I get `error org.freedesktop.Dbus.Error.UnknownMethod`
`No such method 'supportinformation' in any interface at object path 'KWin'
(signature '')`

I need to set up ssh access to the machine to help with cut/pasting commands
and errors.

There is more stuff I've tried here:

I will struggle to cut/pates logs. I only have my phone and the laptop (which I
can only use the tty on) with me

I won't be able to ssh in from my desktop until friday.

Is there anything I should be looking for in the logs?

Actually output is `--no entries--`

Is there a way to backup and clear my Kwin settings (e.g decoration etc) back
to default?

If I create a new user, login with that user (to see if its my user setting
causing issues) cycles the ssdm loginscreen

That's really helpful, thanks.

Moving the config worked a treat. Seems its regenerated and windows are
appearing as normal.

Will miss Bismuth tiling, hopefully the depends issue with the 20.04 base
will get sorted next release, or the bismuth dev will find a fix

Thanks for your help, is there anything I can provide (from my old kwinrc)
that may be helpful?

[kwin] [Bug 457631] New: VLC changes size when moving to the next media file in a sequence.

2022-08-08 Thread Steve Allen
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457631

Bug ID: 457631
   Summary: VLC changes size when moving to the next media file in
a sequence.
   Product: kwin
   Version: 5.25.3
  Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: wayland-generic
  Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: stephenalle...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

When windows are tiled and VLC is being used to play media, VLC resets its
position every time a new media file (of a list) is played, and needs to be
manually put back in place.

I have a workflow carried over from i3 using two tiled windows. The purpose of
the workflow is to take notes in org-mode abut raw footage footage (rushes). 

- VLC on one side;
- Emacs on the other

Sometimes I resize one or both to something resembling a 40:60 or 30:70 split.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open VLC and open multiple media files;
2. Open another window tiled next to it;
3. Press the "next" arrow in VLC, or allow the media to play out, and a new
file be played

OBSERVED RESULT

VLC window changes position to maximised, or occasionally when manually
resized, to a "snapped" position

EXPECTED RESULT

VLC window to stay where I put it.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: Unsure (I do not have the machine with me)
KDE Frameworks Version: (I do not have the machine with me)
Qt Version: (I do not have the machine with me)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I unstalled theuser edition of Plasma about a week or so ago
