-- Information about the crash:
I recently installed the Nobara distribution on my PC. After the initial installation, I used the "Update my system" option from the welcome app to update the system. Once the update was complete, I restarted my PC. Upon logging back in, the desktop was entirely black except for the Nobara welcome window.

I also received an error message stating that plasmashell had closed unexpectedly. I tried restarting plasmashell, but the issue persisted. Now, each time I log in, the same plasmashell crash message appears, and the process of gathering crash information fails to complete. I also tried suggested actions like reinstalling packages and restoring Plasma settings, but without success.

The crash can be reproduced every time.
