Bug 500351

> Please, I know how you hate nvidia guys, but please, let's try to solve it please
It's not hate, it's that we literally can't solve bugs in the proprietary NVIDIA driver, since it's a black box. We have no insight into what it's doing.

That said, so far there's no indication that the proprietary NVIDIA driver is to blame here without a backtrace we can inspect. Can you attach one? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl

I am trying to do it. Will take time. A lot of debug info being downloaded by debugged. But will try my best. Please take some patience

Ok.

I don't know if this one is useful and not sure if debugged hanger taskbar or not. Anyway hanging taskbar backtrace debugger gives:

And logs in debugger.

If I can assist somehow else please tell. If Nvidia side bug (since I am not good in debugging), please point anything +/- usefull for me to forward them

https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b4a9f18dfe2f

this is same logs, but 3 months expiration period. previous was 1 week

Thanks, that's helpful! This looks very suspicious:

It's less likely now that this is related to your NVIDIA GPU.

I found Bug 435999, which reports the same error, but nobody could figure out out.

You're welcome! What I really noted and told above, I found out simply by accident that "kate" (Kate program, part of KDE apps) provokes crash of plasmashell in it's entirety, without even being reloaded (plasmashell) automatically. Ususally 100% crashes if fresh OS boot, and if plasmashell reactivated manually opening, closing in a loop (usually 5-10 circles) is enough to crash plasmashell. I reported to general bug section of plasmashell, since fail to understand how is that related. Mentioned NVidia gpu no idea is any sensible part here, since that's the only gpu I have in laptop in use.

So aside of logs, somehow kate and plasmashell related, maybe somewhere in the middle of data exchange or something. All most detailed description and steps to reproduce I could is now provided. Hopefully bug will be identified and caught.

Have you seen this happen recently, with Qt version 6.9.2 or with Plasma 6.4.5?
I've not seen this on any of my systems.

Yes, it happens on most recent system as well, but not that often. But still happens (mean plasmashell self crash and restart). Even it's another laptop now, dell precision 7750

Current system:

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250920
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.16.8-1.g051c8a7-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × Intel® Xeon® W-10885M CPU @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 128 GiB of RAM (125.5 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: Quadro RTX 5000
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: Precision 7750

And Plasma Shell is the only issues in whole system. No other hangs, crashes, restarts whatever. So nvidia driver etc works perfectly everywhere else.

Well darn. Thanks for confirming, and for providing your current system info.
