Description S. Beck 2016-02-24 03:02:10 UTC 
I'm on OpenSuSE 42.1 (leap).  It's a new install (installed 1 day ago).  I've created a clean home directory so there's no config setting left over to cause the problem.

This is a multi-user system.  I log in as one user, but then want to create a second session with another user.  I was able to do so yesterday, but it has stopped working today for no reason that I can see.

From the KDE menu, I select <New Session> and it pops up the window.  Since no other user is logged in, I click the <New Session> button, and the window dissappears, but it doesn't go to a long screen to allow me to select a new user.

I go back to the KDE menu and select <New Session> again, and I immediately get the KDE crash window saying that ksmserver has died with a segmentation fault.

This happens every time on my system now.

The crash dump is:


Application: ksmserver (ksmserver), signal: Segmentation fault

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select <New Session> from the KDE menu and then click the <New Session> button
2. Nothing appears, so select <New Session> again from the KDE menu (and it seg faults)
3.
Comment 1 Wolfgang Bauer 2016-03-02 14:03:51 UTC 
The crash is the same as bug#357413.

"New Session" not working at all is fixed already (in 5.5.5), see bug#356945.

> "New Session" not working at all is fixed already (in 5.5.5), see bug#356945.

PS: as a workaround, disable the screen locker, or use the "New Session" button on the screen locker. The "user switch" plasmoid should work too.
