Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-09-19 18:09:48 UTC
- If you repeat the steps you described does Plasma crash again in the next boot ?
Thanks
I wonder if this could be related to bug 196207
Comment 2 jensmh 2009-09-19 19:07:49 UTC
Yes, plasma crashed again after reboot and login. This time before I was able to type in the kwallet password, so this may be unrelated.

The backtrace however differs a little bit:

Comment 3 jensmh 2009-09-19 19:11:45 UTC
I'm wondering if this is related to perhaps incorrect locale setup of this system. For example k3b gives me following error message:

Der Locale-Zeichensatz Ihres Systems ist ANSI_X3.4-1968
Der Locale-Zeichensatz Ihres Systems ist auf ANSI_X3.4-1968 eingestellt. Es ist sehr unwahrscheindlich, dass diese Einstellung bewusst so vorgenommen wurde. Wahrscheinlich wurde gar keine Locale-Einstellung vorgenommen; eine ungültige Einstellung kann zu Problemen beim Erstellen der Projektdaten führen.
Lösung: Für eine Korrekte Locale-Einstellung stellen Sie bitte sicher, dass die LC_*-Umgebungsvariablen festgelegt sind. Normalerweise kümmern sich die Einrichtungsprogramme Ihrer Distribution um diese Einstellung.

Is this german message understandable or should I translate?

FWIW, after disabling compositing this crash disappeared.

Comment 6 jensmh 2009-09-27 13:34:41 UTC
Are you sure this bug is a duplicate of bug 200773?
To me, the backtrace looks completely different.

It would be nice if you could explain a little bit why you think this is a duplicate.
Comment 7 Beat Wolf 2009-09-27 17:25:53 UTC
it's true that it's hard to tell, but both seem to end in:
../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64
abort.c:88

so they are probably the same. but since you have a doubt i reopen it, no problem with that (i just try to keep some order in the bugreports, so sometimes errors are made, and this is indeed a hard one to be sure)
Comment 8 Michael Pyne 2009-09-27 19:36:18 UTC
This is not bug 200773.  They both ended up in abort.c because they both ended up calling abort(), but it was for different reasons.  200773 was a crash because an unimplemented function was called, this bug is due to memory corruption.

Given that the reporter is on sid with x86_64 I believe this is actually related to bug 196207
Comment 9 David Faure 2009-10-01 01:28:40 UTC
Fixed!
