Description of problem: Upgrade to F20 from F18. Upon entering KDE, desktop items are inappropriately drawn as fully transparent. This includes the taskbar, the menu buttons, and any windows that are opened -- everything that's not the desktop background is rendered 100% transparent. When mousing over some items in the menus, they will transiently become non-transparent for a moment, only when being moused over. After mousing by them, they return to 100% transparency. The result is that everything on the desktop is rendered 100% transparent and totally invisible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F20. Nouveau xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86_64 : How reproducible: Every time I enable desktop effects in KDE. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable desktop effects 2. restart kde 3. Actual results: Desktop items 100% transparent Expected results: Desktop items 0% transparent Additional info: # lspci 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2)
Can you give me the output of "rpm -qv kernel libdrm xorg-x11-drv-nouveau mesa-dri-drivers"

Just did another install on bare metal and got the exact same result -- transparent/invisible menus in the KDE environment, attributable to Nouveau. Install media was the F20 DVD. Graphics card was an Nvidia 6600GT. Getting rid of Nouveau & installing the NV proprietary driver fixed the problem.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
