Occurs on every logon until smooth-tasks section in plasma-desktop-appletsrc is commented out. [Comment from a bug triager] If you can confirm that this only happens when using the SmoothTasks plasmoid but not when using the default KDE task manager, then this bug should be reported to the SmoothTasks developers directly (you can also try to use the latest SmoothTasks code) Thanks *** Bug 258049 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi Dario, I confirm that removing the smoothtasks widget by commenting it out in plasma-desktop-appletsrc solves this bug. So the proximate cause is smooth-tasks. Clearly it is ALSO a bug in plasma itself - widgets should not be able to crash all of plasma and prevent it from restarting. So maybe this needs splitting into two bugs - 1) why the smoothtasks widget fails and 2) why a crash in smoothtasks is able to cause a non-recoverable crash in plasma. What do you think? cheers M. [Comment from a bug triager] Of course, Plasma should not crash cause of external widgets' problems, but that is a Plasma design issue which should be evaluated and fixed by Plasma developers (I can't help with that). Actually that suggestion is already reported at bug 199754; you can follow that report if you want. Closing this report as DOWNSTREAM because of the SmoothTasks crash. Regards *** Bug 258609 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 264375 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 56511 [details]
New crash information added by DrKonqi
plasma-desktop (0.4) on KDE Platform 4.6.00 (4.6.0) using Qt 4.7.1
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Switched to smooth task plasmoid
- Custom settings of the application:
Smooth task plasmoid crashes the plasma, also i noticed the same behaviour with Language switcher plasmoid

FWIW I reported this upstream. http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Smooth+Tasks?content=101586 The maintainer seems to suggest that it is a packaging issue... I compiled fresh smooth task from source, work now. But crashing entire desktop cuz of one gadget its a bug in plasma Comment 10: that design issue is reported at bug 199754 |
