Description Ivan Pekov 2022-06-01 07:15:49 UTC

SUMMARY
Holding down the volume up or volume down button on a keyboard which has them crashes KDE entirely and sends me to sddm. May not be related to KDE but to xorg although I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on other DEs. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have it play some audio
2. Hold down the volume up/volume down button. WARNING: Do not spam click it, hold it.

OBSERVED RESULT
KDE crashes and computer sends you to sddm (or the ddm you have installed).

EXPECTED RESULT
Volume goes up/down.

This was caused by an issue in the X server itself. I don't have the bug report for it handy, sorry. It's fixed now for pepole using distros that ship newer software though. You might want to ask the Pop OS folks to look into backporting recent Xorg fixes.

Good day! I have experienced this issue on Kubuntu (KDE 5.24.4) multiple times. I filed a bug in launchpad which collected a slew of debug information, which may or may not be helpful.

Can you point us to the X bug, which fixes the issue? I wasn't able to find it and I'd like to check if I have the old version before reporting a new bug.

I can't find it anymore, sorry. :/
