Please use the login manager.
This crash is because you're running plasmashell in X, which is questionable.
David, I was going to log in to Plasma on Wayland from sddm as I usually do, but the Fedora live image is set to autologin to Plasma on X. I had stopped sddm, Plasma, and X before I ran startplasmacompositor. I restarted sddm so that the X amdgpu driver would be used instead of the X modesetting driver since the system has a Radeon R5 GPU. I think that the plasmashell crash was more likely to have happened when the autologin to Plasma on X got stuck on the splash screen and I stopped sddm than when I ran startplasmacompositor. The trace of the segmentation fault doesn't appear to have any Wayland-specific functions. The Wayland session appear normally. I just didn't see drkonqi until the Wayland session started.. plasmashell and drkonqi aborted after I stopped sddm and before I ran startplasmacompositor the next time I tried to reproduce the crash. The Plasma on X autologin splash screen freeze has happened several times after restarting sddm with two Fedora rawhide live images. The circle stopped spinning after a few seconds, and the desktop didn't appear. I'm sorry about the mixup. Thanks. *** Bug 447791 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fedora is no longer set up this way; Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.0? Thanks a lot!

I'm using Fedora 40 now which dropped official support for Plasma on X. I haven't seen this problem in years. Ok, thanks. Let's close it. Thanks anyway! |
