I got them from "Add or Manage Widgets..." then "Get New". Probably was a bad idea. I am pretty sure one was 'Fancy KDE Weather' by fiiti. Unable to locate the disk status widget, not that I want it back. I am relatively new to Plasma and had not used KDE in ages (think 15-20 yrs). Installed Fedora 44 KDE Plasma after getting a new laptop a couple months ago with an Nvidia 4060, which did not play well with Linux Mint at all. Now I am seeing from the bug report 521794, this is apparently Nvidia not playing nice with external monitors and/or 3rd party widgets. On a positive(?) note, this is the first time AI ever actually helped me solve (well, work around) a real-world problem. Everything is running nicely for now so I am not touching or adding anything else until Nvidia straightens their driver out. Will keep an eye out for any updates from them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
