My bug report was resolved as a duplicate on this unresolved bug, that's been reported since DEC 2022. Just curious, has there been any progress listed elsewhere? I see are a number of other bugs marked as a duplicate, just not sure if there is something external that is also tracking this?

There's no progress listed elsewhere to my knowledge.

Sorry I missed this. I can't say exactly but it would have either been Solus or Fedora.

I'm having this issue on Fedora, has anyone else had a similar issue on Solus?

Not to my knowledge. There isn't anything on the Solus bug tracker https://issues.getsol.us
I also haven't seen anyone complain about this in support channels, nor have I had this crash on my 2 Solus systems

I wonder if this is some sort of packaging mishap on Fedora somehow (despite this happening on Ubuntu and OpenSUSE too)?

Problem was in my home directory. Cleared .cache and plasmashell stopped
crashing, but various plasma components had visual issues. Notably dolphin
and systemsettings. Restored .local from a known working date and
everything was back to normal.

I presume that this being refiled as spam is itself an act by a spammer?

Yes indeed; thanks for correcting it!

In the future please also report spammers' email addresses using a sysadmin ticket (https://phabricator.kde.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/2/) so their account can be deleted. I've done that this time.

> Yes indeed; thanks for correcting it!

...I hadn't yet, but I've at least set it as untriaged now, as it was beforehand.

I wasn't able to detect any spam on this bug aside from the vandalism of reassigning this to Spam.
The offending user account has now been blocked.

*** Bug 504034 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Renaming .cache folder fixed the crashing for me (bug 504034).

Should I try to localize the affecting folder in the /.cache?

If you could, that would be very very helpful!

cache file

Narrowed down to this file. Deleting it makes the crash go away.

BTW It is located in /home/xxxxxx/.cache/plasmashell/qmlcache/

Thank you! That's extremely valuable information.

Please copy the cache back into place and grab the output when starting plasmashell like so:

QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.qml.diskcache*=true plasmashell --replace

the output of `kinfo` would also be good

Could you please make step-by-step guide? I'm just a normal user, not a coder. :)

1. Place back the cache file - OK
2. Log out from Plasma - OK
3. Log in to Plasma - OK
4. Then I immediately get a crash, but I have a terminal window open, so I can run commands.
5. run in terminal QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.qml.diskcache*=true plasmashell --replace
6. Then I have to run plasmashell manually? By typing plasmashell command?
7. Then run kinfo?

1. OK, I got it myself :)

2. For some reason the cache file today was not affecting the system and there was no crash copying it back... :-/

3. But I test Linux with Tumbleweed, that has "Time Machine", so I can go back any time.

4. ~> QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.qml.diskcache*=true plasmashell --replace

And it attempts to start plasmashell forever...

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250417

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (14.5 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: llvmpipe

5. I use the Icons + Text vertical panel, if that may help.

I can confirm the crash by installing tumbleweed, having bluetooth, and adjusting the timestamp of file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.bluetooth/contents/ui/Toolbar.qml to be the one in the cache file.

Thanks a ton for nailing that down, Harald!

Now fixed upstream in Qt 6.8.4 & 6.9.2, thanks to Ulf Hermann!
