Description minegame 2025-02-17 11:40:44 UTC
SUMMARY
On Arch Linux, after updating the system on 2025-02-13 09:25:54 UTC, when the system boots up and I log into the KDE desktop(wayland), plasmashell, kclockd, kalarm, kgpg, DiscoverNotifier, and kalendarac crashes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. As long as you log in to the KDE desktop (Wayland) in the login window, plasmashell, kclockd, kalarm, kgpg, DiscoverNotifier, and kalendarac will crash.

System environment
VMWare Player 16.1.2 on Windows 10 Professional 22H2

Comment 1 Harald Sitter 2025-02-17 11:55:17 UTC
Looks similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499919

Makes me wonder if maybe some Qt patch backport is responsible.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-02-18 15:37:54 UTC
Yep, looks like the same thing indeed.

Did you by any chance have a drawing tablet plugged in at the time?

No. Why do you mention a drawing tablet?
