Can't reproduce here on Arch running Plasma 5.13.4 and Frameworks 5.48.0. @Linux 4.17.14-arch1-1-ARCH Dear all, the bug is gone. I cannot reproduce it. I do not understand why but bellow I describe the last steps: 1) sudo pkcon refresh this returned an error => E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'if /usr/bin/test -w /var/cache/app-info -a -e /usr/bin/appstreamcli; then appstreamcli refresh > /dev/null; fi' E: Sub-process returned an error code 2) sudo appstreamcli refresh --force this returned an error => AppStream system cache was updated, but problems were found: Metadata files have errors: /var/cache/app-info/xmls/fwupd.xml 3) fix a bug inside fwupd.xml with a solution in https://askubuntu.com/a/1060895 4) repeated: sudo pkcon refresh only one update found (at that time), skypeforlinux 8.28.0.41 5) sudo pkcon update 6) laptop turned off and turned on 7) select item from application menu and right click on it does not cause any crashes yet. Before that steps I tried many times to turn off/on the laptop as well as to restart it (because I use very often a sleep mode which would cause unexpected behaviour) but no effect on plasmashell crashes until I made that 7 steps. This is a problem with 'fwupd' not KDE Plasma (In reply to Omar from comment #3) > This is a problem with 'fwupd' not KDE Plasma Maybe, but tell me how fwupd can cause such KDE Plasma problems? Since fixing fwupd.xml fixed the issue, I think it might be an issue with the `fwupd` package, and when plasma access the file it faces something unexpected so it crashes. But I thing you are right, this could also be fixed from plasma to guard it from external issues. I will re-switch this to unconfirmed for a more experienced dev to evaluate the issue Can you share your device info, so that I can search it in the fwupd supported devices, because I don't have this issue, and my device is not supported.
