Hi Guys https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24593950/33776466-c067c948-dc41-11e7-88cc-fb6dc88b92e0.png After the log-in I found plasma with the docks that show themselves and hide in an endless loop and there is no way to normalize the situation even by restarting the laptop please follow the discussion about the issue https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/issues/798 Now I find myself with unstable plasmashell how can I do to fix the activity daemon? For this, is there the possibility to delete some configuration files? in that case, I guess, do I have to re-create all the activities from scratch or can I repair any corrupt file? regards, Ivan
I tried to delete the files.... kactivitymanagerdrc kactivitymanagerd-switcher kactivitymanagerd-statsrc kactivitymanagerd-pluginsrc but plasmashell and kactivitymanagerd continues to crash !!! :(
I however made a backup of those files
now after deleting these files as well plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc plasmashellrc plasmarc I find two activities 1- Desktop 2- Desktop icon (which I have never created) then from the manager of the activities, I see flicker the items related to these activities and there is no way to eliminate the foreign activity "Desktop icon" PS if I create a new account everything works properly
> I have also observed that in concomitance of the docks' show and hide in an > endless loop, I see too open and close cyclically a process called > kactivitymanagerd i and although I have closed all the main Can you explain this? Could you test the communication between plasma and kactivitymanagerd using bustle (a tool for inspecting d-bus messages)? I'll leave this assigned to kactivitymanagerd for the time being although I'm 99% sure it is just an innocent bystander in this bug since it has nothing to do with plasma panels/docks :)
the user uses latest plasma from unstable repos in openSUSE.... Somehow managed to broke its system... no idea how... from its debug output there are plenty: [warning 9:57:59.479479] - KActivities: FATAL ERROR: Failed to contact the activity manager daemon and there was a constant message for changing into a specific activity: [debug 9:57:59.525525] - activity changed :: "32ce0942-edce-41b4-b5a5-fab3a366926b" [debug 9:57:59.529529] - activity changed :: "32ce0942-edce-41b4-b5a5-fab3a366926b" [debug 9:57:59.532532] - activity changed :: "32ce0942-edce-41b4-b5a5-fab3a366926b" I asked from the user to drop Latte usage in order to reproduce with plasma panels and also what is happening when he is requesting to see the Activities switcher...
from the account with problems I ran a rm -r ~ / .config / plasma * rc ...So, at the next login, I found a default configuration with the plasma panel instead of Latte-Dock and here we immediately highlight the problem described above and that is .... plasma shell goes into crash so I thought to compare the output of the plasmashell command for two different accounts, one corrupt and one valid *************************** **** CORRUPTED ACCOUNT **** *************************** Ivan@UltrabookSamsung:~> plasmashell kf5.karchive: bzDecompress returned -5 org.kde.kcoreaddons: Expected JSON property "X-Plasma-ContainmentCategories" to be a string list.

is it necessary to reset some SQlite databases? how can I do ?
Ok I've solved !!!!! The problem, it comes from the database ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/database it was corrupt ...I have not tried to empty it but I simply deleted it: ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/ and now everything works correctly ...but now I can not explain why this kind of problem, here are the things I was doing before the problem: - after a login I found the latte-dock of the primary display, strangely out of position and on the 55-inch TV secondary display - I played on the management of the displays to reposition the latte-dock - I restarted and here appears the problem described above Thanks so much guys for support
Created attachment 109517 [details] files corrupted /home/Ivan/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd_corrupted/resources Here are the corrupt files
The first patch is in - kactivities clients will no longer terminate on database error, they will just show no data. This will be fixed with the next release of KDE Frameworks (fixed in master - commit 9b47babb6c4172535be0630141d6f8c6047c2724).
which repo/component was that commit made? It's not in kactivities or kactivitymanagerd as far as I can tell.
@Rex It is in kactivities-stats library
Thanks!
