I also just observed a sudden random crash of plasmashell for no apparent reason (well, no crash can happen for a legitimate reason, so any crash is always "for no apparent reason", but I mean nothing special was going on that would suggest you could expect such a thing to happen). I was just typing in PHPStorm and I moved the mouse down to reach for the task manager at the bottom. I'm not sure if that was what triggered it or if was a coincidence, but the task manager disappeared (it actually slided down gracefully as if it was "hiding" for a reason, although it never does that under normal circumstances). Then I manually minimized all windows (as the shourtcut wouldn't work) to reveal the desktop, which was black as I suspected. Another thing that I think is outrageous is that plasmashell is not automatically relaunched when it ever dies. How do I get a backtrace like the one in the original report? Please file a new bug report as it's not likely that this one is about the exact same thing as what you're experiencing. To get a backtrace for a crash in the past, you can use `coredumpctl`; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl > Please file a new bug report as it's not likely that this one is about the exact same thing
The one time that I do search for similar bugs and find one that actually seems to describe the same issue 🤦

There's nothing there from plasmashell unfortunately.
Yeah, the thing about crashes is that the only way to know that two are the same thing is by looking at their backtraces; you can't know this just but looking at the symptoms of the crash. Thanks anyway though! (In reply to php4fan from comment #4) > > To get a backtrace for a crash in the past, you can use `coredumpctl`; see > > There's nothing there from plasmashell unfortunately. Then plasmashell didn't crash, and your issue is *definitely* not the same thing. :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 447717 *** |
