Sentry Crash Report:

Description Ruszkai Ákos 2011-03-14 16:02:26 UTC 
Application: plasma-desktop (0.4)
KDE Platform Version: 4.6.1 (4.6.1)
Qt Version: 4.7.0
Operating System: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic i686
Distribution: Ubuntu 10.10

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
The whole plasma desktop system crahsed when I restarted the upstart service network-manager.
Happens frequently.

- Unusual behavior I noticed:
Network manager plasma applet on panel stops working, or does foobar stuff  (doesn't show networks, doesn't respnd on clicks etc.)
On crash, I only get some kind of message like this (sorry, I'm on localised environment)

We're sorry, but the KDE service stopped running:

.ar5k

I don't even know what this .ar5k is.

The crash can be reproduced some of the time.

ark5 is part of your wireless card driver. The crash log you sent has nothing to do with NetworkManagement, it shows a crash in Plasma itself.

Thank you for the explanation. However, for various reasons (mainly for performance and quality of wireless connection) I've removed and blacklisted the rtl8187 driver shipped by the kernel, and switched to ndiswrapper. I couldn't reproduce the bug since that, thought it's been since only a few hours now. Shall I report, if I can't experience problems with ndiswrapper?

That is strange, ar5k is part of atheros wireless driver. rtl8187 is from Realtek.

It may be that you had a problem with your wireless driver but I have seen that backtrace regarding KIconLoaderPrivate::makeCacheKey in some recent bug reports.   Fixing bugs in cache can be very tricky, they are difficult to reproduce.

Hello

On a totally different computer, with totally different hardware (no wireless card even!), I've managed to reproduce the bug by doing:

alsa force-reload 

as root.

Backtrace:

The crashreporter window still complains about ar5k, however I have:

02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev 01)

That KIconEffect::fingerprint bug is a old bug in KDE, it is not Plasma NM specific, it seems it is a problem in KIconLoader, which is a library that several KDE programs use, including Plasma NM, Amarok, Kopete, the panel, etc.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to reproduce it and even more to diagnostic it. It seems to happen because of a memory corruption that nobody has been able to identify where it happens.
