the backtrace is full of KHelpCenter code, are you sure this is plasma crashing and not KHelpCenter crashing?

yeah i know its strange but i didnt even have K HC open ...
there a lot of problems with "chown" and permissions that shouldnt bother desktop users .. lucky me I use kubuntu since 8 years (and dont regret it) and can code c, cxx11 and python, bit ruby and c sharp. plasma 5 is still extremely unstable ... it leaks memory ... looking forward when we get rid of x11 in favor of wayland ... you cant have a kde 5 session running for days memory and cpu usage will increase steady till itll crash ...
