Description Vince Radice 2016-02-16 21:11:21 UTC
I have 12 virtual desktops defined.  When I switch from one desktop to a different one Plasma will crash sometimes.  I have not been able to determine what is different between the times it crashes and the time it switches and does not crash.  I read through the problem descriptions and I don't think any match my error.

Fedora 23 64 bit
Plasma 5.5.4

If more info is needed, please tell me how to gather it.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Switch between virtual desktops
2.
3.

needs debug packages installed and the backtrace report cave by drKonqui
Comment 2 Vince Radice 2016-02-17 20:17:31 UTC
Which debug packages need to be installed?  I have a lot already installed but obviously I am missing some.  I think I have seen the option to create the backtrace by clicking the Developer tab.  Is that the right one?

Backtrace from Plasma crash

I get the backtrace but a message box popped up that said more packages needed to be installed.  There was a button in the message box to get the packages but the box dissappeared before I could click the button.

IT looks like Plasma crashes when I close an application like Firefox and not when I change desktops.

What debugging packages do I need to install to get the proper info?

Also, would a memory dump be of any help?  If so, how do I create one?
