Desktop icon that crashes the desktop
coredumpctl output for plasmashell crash Crash traceback with gdb attach to plasmashell process |
||
That file doesn't cause a crash for me on git master Plasma, built from source also on top of Fedora 41. And it passes `desktop-file-validate` with only warnings. Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash using the `coredumpctl` command-line program, as detailed in https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl ? Thanks! Created attachment 180393 [details]
coredumpctl output for plasmashell crash
I just tried this again and got the crash. Even though I added the debug symbol packages gdb wanted the stack is still nonsense. If I kept hitting enter this would go on probably forever. I got to about stack depth 18000 on another dump and quit. Normally I would expect a recursion loop but I'm not seeing that here, or the number of call stack frames until this gets back to the recusrion is really large. The other threads all look like they might just be waiting, so no idea what's going on, but it's solid failure for me, and not really a serious problem since I just don't click that icon.

Crash traceback with gdb attach to plasmashell process
The first traceback I attached looks like it's nonsense, no idea why. I tried this again, using gdb to attach to the running plasmashell process and got what I think is a better crash trace, which I attached. Backtraces provided Thanks for the better backtrace! And sure enough, it's NVIDIA. :( Please report this issue to the NVIDIA folks, either by sending an email to linux-bugs@nvidia.com or making a post at https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux. It would be helpful to the NVIDIA developers if you could run `nvidia-bug-report.sh` and attach the resulting file in your report. Thanks! |
