plasma6 - several processes dumping core
Last modified: 2024-04-07 16:07:51 UTC
Created attachment 873689 [details] stack traces Starting with plasma6, each and every day several processes including plasmashell and kded6 are dumping core, making it nearly impossible to do my work. Excerpt from yesterday' journal: systemd-coredump[7596]: Process 3823 (kded6) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[7604]: Process 3959 (plasmashell) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[4117]: Process 18561 (QtWebEngineProc) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[5085]: Process 5061 (xembedsniproxy) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[5105]: Process 5060 (gmenudbusmenupr) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[5005]: Process 4995 (kwalletd6) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[5138]: Process 7649 (kded6) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[4821]: Process 18515 (falkon) of user 10000 dumped core. systemd-coredump[10796]: Process 8739 (falkon) of user 10000 dumped core. System is Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240318 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.7.9-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz Memory: 15,0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

I switched to wayland and at least falcon stopped crashing.
I suffered from the same bug and at least I found a workaround. First to say I installed a new fresh version of tumblewee, dated 2024-03-24, on my laptop and it work perfect. My working machine has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU and 16 GB of RAM. I use TW from the very beginning and I am happy with that. After an update in the last days of February plasma coulnd be started. I did a lot of work and ended up with a workaround. I fount that my current installed plama uses a direct in /home/user/... but the new intalled plasma uses a directory /usr/local/share/plasma/.... My workaround: scp -p -r /usr/share/plasma $HOME/.local/share/ After a relogin it worked and showed my saved sessions as it did before. more details: I started plasma "strace plasmashell" > plasmash.log 2>&1". You can see all commands before the crash "tail -50 plasmash.log". The log tells You that the directories /usr/share/plasma $HOME/.local/share/ are in some way mismatched. proposal for solution: the maintainers of plasma may please decide which directory to use and give hints for any updates. I did not expect such a behaviour because I used KDE3 and saw all updates up to version KDE5 worked correctly. From my point of view (experience) I would never expect such an error but nobody is perfect.
Created attachment 874114 [details] Output from journalctl -f
It may be useful to add what (as a user) we do in order to trigger the core dump. Plasmashell also crashes for me, in my case it happens when I right click on a document/file I want to move somewhere else by using Copy To/Move To > Browse. I attached my output from journalctl -f.
