Created attachment 126234 [details] Crash Report / Stack Trace from journalctl SUMMARY Somehow plasmashell randomly crashed during normal use of desktop today. It just restarted itself just fine however. I'm not sure wether this is a critical bug or not, just wanted to upload the stack trace in case it helps. The bug is rare and hard to reproduce, but in case the stack trace is somehow usefull I wanted to provide it. It's attatched, its called "crash.txt". I extracted it from journalctl. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use you plasma desktop for a very long time until it eventually crashes. OBSERVED RESULT plasma randomly crashes EXPECTED RESULT plasma shouldn't crash out of nowhere SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.5.4-zen1-1-zen / 5.18.1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The bug is hard to reproduce and incredibly rare, just wanted to provide the stacktrace in case its easily fixable. Thanks for taking a look, I really appreciate it.
> libGLX_nvidia.so.0 + 0x4da07 Urgh, crashing in the NVIDIA driver. :/
Another theory (can't guarantee it's correct) Well, some other stack trace also inlcudes libglib-2.0.so.0, which recently recieved a non-upstream security patch for CVE-2020-6750 from Arch: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/glib2&id=bee298139ed4fc6199d09270b38484bf9f737a82. I had this version installed when the crash happened. Since then, glib2 has been updated to the latest upstream version (2.62.5) which includes a fix for CVE-2020-6750: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/glib2&id=66b983fa7abe7a059dd1d99047c8117905d8abaa Since then I haven't experienced any crashes. However, due to the rarity of the bug I might just have been lucky. I will keep an eye on wether plasmashell will crash or not now, but I already used it for 1 hour today and no crashes so far.
