Description Lucia Mrenica 2019-02-16 14:51:56 UTC

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55
Qt Version: 5.12.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can it be because it is supposed to start with kstart5 but that doesn't work (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403965)

What log should I provide?

Also, this bug might also be present on Xorg, but plasmashell doesn't crash there for me.

It is not.

Relevant log is:
~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log


Please also start plasmashell from krunner (alt + space) and see if there's a crash icon.

So plasmashell crashed just now, so I openned krunner and found out I have disabled this option for starting anything from krunner. So I proceded to krunner settings where I enabled something like 'command line'. After applying settings krunner crashed. No warning or anything just Alt+Space stoped working, so I had to start krunner manually in konsole. Then I started plasmashell from krunner and after plasmashell started, there weren't any messages about any crashes (neither the krunner crash).

Today plasmashell crashed and there was a notification about that so this might be fixed.
