2 years ago Hi! Right, I just compile mesa, if there are issues in actual Mesa you have to look there for solutions!
I search a bit for you, could be this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5989 ?!
Go there and add some details about your system, and maybe any dmesg logs etc...

sudo ppa-purge ppa:ernstp/mesarc

2 years ago Latest build should have a fix for this now!
Immediately following the latest driver update, the 1080p desktop was broken/frozen on my system. It still technically functioned, as if you knew the keystrokes, you could do things as long as you didn't mind having zero visual indication of what you were doing other than hard drive activity, as the video was frozen solid.
It would freeze during the rebooting process as soon as it would try to display the Plasma desktop.
Only by either using the hardware switch or memorized [CAD]-[return] Reboot sequence then booting into recovery mode with low res software rendering could I get a functional desktop back.
None of the usual commands you find when searching for "frozen desktop" or various permutations of it involving xorg, xrandr, etc... made any difference.
Not being an expert in Linux, I ended up reinstalling the OS 2x. Yes, twice, because when I had first reinstalled Kubuntu, then enabled your repository and installed CoreCtrl, it immediately broke my fresh install just like it did before, which I considered a 50/50 win/fail, for even though it broke my system, it also confirmed for me exactly what it was that originally broke it. I didn't make the same mistake again.
System Hardware info as follows:
