Description Andreas Silberstorff 2008-01-17 23:45:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Add system monitor plasmoid.
Enable the disk space monitoring section in the system monitor and
disable some disks in it's configuration window.
Hit OK and Plasma crashes.

The first time plasma crashed and the whole monitor went white. Plasma showed the crash manager and did restart after closing it.
I did retry the same procedure and could reproduce the crash. This time no crash manager showed up. The monitor stayed white. Luckily ALT+F2 did work. I issued 'plasma &' and the desktop was alive again.

I have these disks in the disk monitor section:
 /media/disk, media/DVD_VIDEO, /home, /boot, /root and /dev/sda3 (not accessible).

I did unchek /media/DVD_VIDEO and /dev/sda3 which is a swap partition.

I am not sure if this is a plasma bug or a bug in the system monitor plasmoid or in both.

Hope that helps.

does this crash persist for you? can you provide a backtrace? (it's available from the crash dialog that appears) .. thanks
Comment 2 Andreas Silberstorff 2008-01-26 08:44:52 UTC
Yes it persists. Backtrace will follow.

The systemmonitor is part of the playground-base-RPM. I had lost that with one of my last smart upgrades and hat to reinstall it (manually with --replace-files because of a concurency with kdebase4). The backtrace I produced yesterday is of no worth because the debuginfo RPMs are missing. I am just installing the -debuginfo-RPMs and will send the backtrace as soon as I can. Sorry for my lazyness.
Comment 3 Andreas Silberstorff 2008-01-26 09:53:48 UTC
Sorry, no backtrace.

After installing the debug-info RPMs and upgrading playground-base I couldn't reproduce the crash, seems to be resolved :-).


ps.: tested with these RPM versions from SUSE's build service (KDE4 on SUSE 10.3)
