If there was a crash - and after click on DrKonqi crash tray icon - crash reporting window was closed - after same crash - DrKonqi tray icon no longer appears in tray. It appears there only after system reboot.
I can confirm on neon dev unstable.
What application does this affect? I crashed Dolphin and it showed a tray icon every time.
I'm not remembering currently - i'll investigate and update.

Git commit 3eeb0ce5bc1ee61dc9c9ff4376cad5302db4e2de by Harald Sitter. Committed on 23/07/2019 at 13:42. Pushed by sitter into branch 'Plasma/5.16'. guard against plasmashell being properly dead and not showing the SNI Summary: when plasmashell is particularly dead and not even able to restart, the SNI host may still be around when we check for it in the main.cpp as its disappearance from dbus is tied to sockets closing and dbus' event loop reacting to that. so there is a race potential that can cause the SNI to not actually be visible on account of the SNI host (plasmashell) being dead even though we expected SNI support to be available. guard against this scenario by starting an automatic activation timer when the notification service disappears. should it not reappear within 10 second we consider it dead and show the dialog automatically as the user won't be seeing the SNI anymore Possibly fixing Test Plan: - crash something so the sni appears - kill plasma - wait 10s - dialog appears - same again - restart plasma before 10s have passed - sni appears again in plasmashell Reviewers: #plasma Subscribers: davidedmundson, plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D22553 M +18 -0 src/statusnotifier.cpp https://commits.kde.org/drkonqi/3eeb0ce5bc1ee61dc9c9ff4376cad5302db4e2de
Is this still reproducible with 5.16.x+ as per that possible fix commit?
I can't reproduce this behavior after systemsettings crash or gwenview crash for example. But drkonqi icon does not reappear in systray after plasma crash until relogin. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1
Do you just send SEGV to plasmashell or how do you crash it?
I made plasma to crash following the steps from bug 409466
Created attachment 123774 [details] recording of it working drkonqi appears as expected there
does drkonqi appear after you reproduce the same crash twice?
It's not meant to. https://cgit.kde.org/kcrash.git/tree/src/kcrash.cpp#n163 When an application crashes an auto-restarted instance will get KCRASH_AUTO_RESTARTED set which in turn will result in drkonqi getting disabled. This is to prevent super crashy applications (such as a broken thumbnailer in dolphin for example) to spam the system with a gazillion drkonqis.
drkonqi does not appear if another KDE software crashes after I reproduce the plasma crash twice. Drkonqi only works again after relogin. Is this behavior expected?
Yes. When A crashed too much then A has the pertinent environment variable and when A starts another process B, that environment is transferred and so B too has the environment variable. IOW any process started by another will inherit the disabled drkonqi. It's obviously a bit silly but that's a bug in (I think) KRun, which likely should clear the kcrash variables before starting a new process. Either that or kickoff doesn't use KRun in which case that bug would be in plasma-workspace somewhere.
