Description Marcus Seyfarth 2021-05-08 14:17:51 UTC

SUMMARY

The overview page of systemsettings crashes after remaining unresponsive for a couple of seconds. It can be worked around thankfully by opening a submenue with a right click on the settings icon in the task bar. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install latest Manjaro with KDE-git.
2. Open systemsettings.
3. Try to select something from the overview.

OBSERVED RESULT

It crashs after a couple of seconds, needs to be terminated.


EXPECTED RESULT
Not seeing it crashing.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Fresh installation of Manjaro with KDE-git as of May 6th 2021

I cannot reproduce this crash. Can you please attach a backtrace? Since you're on Manjaro which does not ship with debug symbols, you will need to build the systemsettings package yourself with debug symbols to get us a usable backtrace. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Arch-based_distros_.28Arch.2C_EndeavourOS.2C_Manjaro.29

Comment 2 Marcus Seyfarth 2021-05-08 16:17:41 UTC

It could be very well a downstream issue with Manjaro then. But I am afraid I cannot be of any more help here.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-05-08 16:19:03 UTC

You can't get a backtrace of the crash?

Even a truncated one without debug symbols is more useful than none at all. Maybe you can get the last one using coredumpctl? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl

Sorry, I've switched distributions since and just wanted to let you guys know that I've see this issue in the wild with Manajaro and KDE-git. I need to defer that to someone willing to spend more time to debug it.

OK. For future reference, see https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Issue_reporting_involves_responsibility. :)
