[Bug 1518597] Re: All system menus, as well as dolphin and other apps totally unreadable because of overlap

[Flames_in_Paradise]

Chris, missing informatio - does the system show the same errors when
you deactivate  the effects?

Anyway, as far as I remember, the "Blur"-effect was always buggy. Try to
deactivate it.

The kubuntu-backports-ppa provides fixes which will not arrive through
the normal backports-channel. [1] [2]

With regards to the age of the integrated graphics I would not assume
it's capable of running OpenGL 2.0

If U suspect Abobe-Flash to have a cause make shure U run the newest
version by activating the "Partners"-repository, also look at the
"right-click options in embedded video. Best suggestion here to
try2avoid Flash (make use of HTML5!)

> ... I don't think I did anything that I
had not done before... Crazy...

Make also a physical inspection of the motherboard and it's components
inspect vents, Kondensators, run a RAM-check (due to the age). A fact:
if effects appear after a while running, this may actually speak for HWE
constraint. Since other know serios causes were exluded.

<OT> I'd actually build a new tiny new PC 4myself & KDE5 a while ago,
Processor has socket AM1, CPU 4x1.3 GHz - all2gether less than 200$ - (I
do not play games, though) <OT>

Excuses 4 late reply.
