Unfortunately, this backtrace is not so useful to us. Can you please read the following instructions and provide us a better backtrace of this crash? Here are the instructions: http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Bugsquad/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Thank you. so what's probably happening here is that the pager isn't getting properly notified of the number of desktops; my guess is that it's being told there are now zero desktops but that it is on desktop 1 (or even desktop 0) and then it goes *boom*. that would imply something is either rather wrong with KWindowSystem or compiz. or, possibly, KWindowSystem says "no desktops" when kwin exits and will later say "N desktops" when compiz starts after that. *** Bug 169598 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've had this same problem under FreeBSD, and I think I may have a solution for you. Plasma would always crash exactly once per session with any desktop changing feature when I enabled compiz after startup. Here's what I did. Go to System Settings > Advanced > Session Manager. Go down to the "Window Manager" section and switch it from KWin to Compiz. Now, we just need to write a script to run emerald, for example: #! /bin/sh emerald --replace & Place it in your .kde4/Autorun folder (or whatever it is in Linux), or go to Advanced > Autostart and have it run at startup (same effect). Setting it to run before startup didn't work for me. The desktop count in the pager looks right now, and I haven't had any more crashes. Hopefully, this will work for you as well. *** Bug 175268 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 179886 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I am still having exact same problem and I have always set my windows manager to be 'compiz'. Plasma crashes exactly ONCE at the beginning. Here's what usually happen: 1) log in to KDE. On the lowest left, there is ONE icon for workspace. 2) switch workspace once or twice (I am using Desktop Wall, but I suppose cube is the same) and plasma crashes. 3) The ONE icon now become FOUR icons, one per workspace and everything is working and good. So, it's not a serious problem for me but kind of annoying. Usually when I log in, I would induce a crash just to get it out of the way. I am recompiling plasma-workspace with debugging symbols. I will upload them when I get them. *** Bug 182088 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 182031 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
