Bug 206957

kacrash-report I get when plasma crashes ...

It would help if you installed kdebase4-workspace-debuginfo (145Mb too much for your laptop) and repeated the crash.


To get your desktop back in a hurry, outside KDE:

mv ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc  ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc.bad
mv ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktoprc  ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktoprc.bad

should get you a vanilla Plasma back. Then don't add the google gadget causing the crash.

okay, I have, at least temporarily added the debuginfo-package and tried to relogin to my user account 2 two times (one without and second after a restart) and will add both kcrash-reports here. Hope they will help fixing the bug.

hope I can't reproduce the crash then, after changing the config-file ... 

Thanky for your help, Jay

kcrash-report of plasma crash with debuginfo after reboot

Okay ... to get back my plasma desktop working this was okay, but now there is a follow-up to this ...

since yesterday, without any special changes (no new istallations or else) xorg and plasma started to eat up constantly at least 70% (or more) of the cpu-time. this is very annoying, since it slows down my system significantly (single core pentium-m cpu 1.7 GHz) and also leaves the fans running like mad.

And still: this only seems to happen under my user account, root still seems to be okay ... and it remains althoug there are no mor plasmoids, except trashbin and compositing is turned off!!
Hardware: dell inspiron 9200, ati 9700, 

sorry, but this is not really funny ...

Thanks for your help, jay

@Jay: about the Plasma CPU usage, what are the settings of your System Tray widget ?
BTW, the GoogleGadgets crash is reported at bug 197754. Merging.
Thanks
