Description Wolfgang.W 2022-08-26 12:32:20 UTC
Kde "forgets" smboles on the desktop for all activities when starting (approx. 20.) via SDDM. The screen is reset with all activities (blank), and the activity switch is also missing. Oddly enough, it's back after the next start. In my opinion, this is also related to bug #458007. The error occurs after about every 20th start and cannot be provoked.

Comment 2 Wolfgang.W 2022-08-26 13:04:52 UTC
One idea I have is, when exiting KDE, files are not flushed properly, ie KDE starts with some unnecessary files from the previous session. This works until that file gets too big and KDE resets itself. I assume it has something to do with the activities.

Moving to 'kde' product'.

Per https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi :
> bugs.kde.org
> Issues of the bugs.kde.org website itself ( DO NOT report KDE bugs here. Use the 'kde' product if you don't know where to report your bug.)

What are "smboles"?

Can you write steps to reproduce that I can follow to make the bug happen? See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Steps_to_Reproduce

Thanks!
Comment 5 Wolfgang.W 2022-10-01 06:46:52 UTC
As soon as I manually enlarge or reduce an icon on the desktop, the whole screen crashes the next time I start it.
Comment 6 Wolfgang.W 2022-10-06 07:12:34 UTC
if I manually change the size of the icons on the desktop, the entire desktop crashes the next time I start it, which means the screen has no icons at all.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2022-10-09 21:03:45 UTC
If something crashed, we need a backtrace of it so we can figure out what's going on. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports.

Can you please attach one? Thanks!
