restart of plasmashell after crash due to APOD in Comics plasmoid
Created attachment 119020 [details] ... and then stdout during crash as APOD is switched to video content video content at: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap190324.html Thank you for reporting this crash in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the crash with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you! I haven't used the Comic widget in a while, so I've set it up again. Like seeing an old friend! Let's see if the problem still happens. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Dunno if it's still due to video, but after I added APOD it crashed plasma - fortunately 5.18.6 seems a bit more robust and came back up by itself. So, I'd say it's still 'fragile'. No problems for me so far using APOD (but still waiting for them to publish a video). My system is now: Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.0-1017-oem (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H Memory: 62.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2 Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! APOD published a video this week and Plasma didn't crash on me. The Comic widget itself still doesn't know what to do with the video: It doesn't change from the previous APOD image, until the next non-video is published. So, like jack_sprat said, it's "fragile". Since no one has reported any other crashes after KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6, I'm marking this fixed. If anyone is still seeing crashes in Comic Strip. please submit a new report with a new backtrace. Thanks! |
Created attachment 116309 [details] Stack trace from Apport crash report SUMMARY I keep the Comic Strip plasmoid open on my desktop. I only follow a handful of comics, but the first one on the list is the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). So this is the comic displayed by default in the plasmoid. Occasionally APOD's "image" isn't a picture but some kind of embedded video. *Every time* the APOD feed switches to a video, plasma crashes. When I re-launch plasmashell from the command line, the Comic widget opens but displays nothing. Plasma then works fine until APOD again decides to show a video. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add Comic plasmoid to the desktop. 2. Configure Comic to display APOD. 3. Wait for APOD to show a video instead of an image OBSERVED RESULT Plasma crashes. I see this on the CLI output: ---------- "apod:2018-11-13" pluging reported an error. Segmentation fault (core dumped) ---------- (Yes, "pluging" is exactly what's printed.) EXPECTED RESULT Plasma shouldn't crash!
