Description jamese 2008-01-20 04:15:49 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Hi

When using KDE4.0 (latest Kubuntu PPA packages), sometimes plasma suddenly crashes without user input (i.e walk away from PC, come back and plasma has crashed).
Plasma may restart or it may not. When it doesn't come back launching plasma from the launcher or the shell brings it back.

~/.xsession-errors at time of crashes

plasma crash backtrace to match above crash

Comment 2 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-01-24 22:10:05 UTC

the backtrace does not have any useful output in it. please install the -dbg packages for kdebase-workspace and kdelibs and attach a full backtrace then. thank you.. =)

Comment 3 jamese 2008-01-25 09:45:18 UTC

OK, will install. (Un)fortunately the crash hasn't happened since I reported it, but will update this issue when it happens again with a correct BT.

Comment 4 Riccardo Iaconelli 2008-02-02 23:46:04 UTC

Let's mark the bug as closed for now then, to help keeping the bug list clean.

Please, feel free to reopen it as soon as you get your hands onto
a full backtrace, which can help us in debugging and tracking down
the problem. =)

Backtrace of the crash

Comment 6 Alexey Chernov 2008-02-10 14:05:21 UTC

I tried to commit the bug, but I found this one which is very familiar to mine. Plasma suddenly crashes even if no user activity. And then it could be restored automatically. But after 2-3 restores it isn't restored, but I can start it from konsole, it starts ok, but the bug appears in some time. Also, I've noticed, that after plasma is restored (manually or not), some blank places in system tray appears (screenshot will be attached). While I was typing this text it crashed and I want to attach the backtrace of this bug. I hope it contains more information as I compiled KDE with 'debugfull' option.
