Bug 417545

I'm also running 5.18.0 on Arch and the shortcut works for me. Could you try re-assign this shortcut in Global Shortcuts -> KDE Daemon -> Show System Activity to see whether there are any issues, e.g. conflicts?

There was a second assignment for Ctrl+Esc (close window), but that's not it. Turns out that kded5 crashes on startup and therefore isn't running. If I start it from konsole I get the following messages:

Please add the backtrace for the crash. It could be a duplicate of bug 416961 if you are using a Wayland session.

Hm, from the backtrace it seems to be the ModemManager requesting the PIN for my SIM card that fails. If I remove the SIM card, kded5 starts and everything behaves normally including the System Tray (see Bug 417544).

Could install debug symbols for plasma-nm so that we can have a better trace ?
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

Also since you have a sim modem, did you have a prompt asking you for your PIN or did have it stored in kwallet for instance ?

Interesting. Thanks for the info so far; can you please provided the additional information that Méven has requested?

Yes, I usually had a prompt asking for the PIN, but currently it doesn't appear. If I unlock the SIM, e.g., via ModemManager, I can start kded5 without crashing.

I also tried setting the mobile connection to auto connect and storing the PIN there. kded5 crashes before the connection can be established, but once it is established, I can restart it.

Unfortunately, Arch Linux doesn't provide packages with debug symbols, so the trace I attached is the best I can do.

You can probably build one with debug info yourself with:

This is a bug hard to reproduce as it pretty much requires specific hardware and settings.
So please find the energy to produce a stacktrace if you want this bug to have a chance to get fixed.

Thanks for the instructions. I also needed to add 

options=(debug !strip)

to the PKGBUILD file.

With this I get the following trace:

Thanks for the fix. Looking forward to the update!

I just installed and tested 5.18.1. The problem is fixed. Thanks again!
