Interesting. This defacto can't happen anymore with postmortem debugging via coredumpctl. |
SUMMARY With the systemd startup feature enabled if plasmashell crashes DrKonqi has a limited amount of time (appears to be 40s according to the contents of `/usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service`) before systemd ends up killing it since systemd thinks it's holding up the automatic service restart process. That is especially a problem if debug symbols need to be downloaded, in my case DrKonqi did not even finish downloading plasmashell's debug symbols, let alone for all the libraries that it uses. Furthermore, the crash dump also did not appear in the "Crashed Processes Viewer" app, so it seems like that also got lost as a result. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Get `plasmashell` (or I guess any other Plasma component that runs as a service?) to crash 2. Wait until DrKonqi opens OBSERVED RESULT DrKonqi disappears after about 40s, and `plasmashell` comes back. EXPECTED RESULT DrKonqi does not disappear, allowing time to download the debug symbols and submit the bug report.
