Description bugreporting 2024-05-15 22:14:11 UTC
SUMMARY
***
With the frequency once a day, panel frezes completely. Absolutely nothing on the panel is clickable, so it looks like a dummy screenshot, not an active element of DE.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Settings: default, except "classic task manager" and Layout: Desktop
2. Use the system normally


OBSERVED RESULTS (2x)
1.Once a day panel freezes completely. Noting is clickable, i.e. panel becomes dummy. Krunner works to launch Konsole.

2.Shutdown as "su -" hangs on "Modem manager is shut down":
$ shutdnow now
System cannot be shut down after panel freezes completely.


EXPECTED RESULT
Panel not to freeze to take down the whole KDE. Did not occur prior versison 6.0.4 (regression). This bug is critical as it freezes KDE, so as a result system cannot be shutdown by a normal user leading to hard reset and data loss (applications cannot be switched, work cannot be saved, disk is shudown while mounted and running, possible writing something leading to disk errorrs and data loss, hence marked as CRITICAL.

REASON OF TOTAL PANEL FREEZE:
Impossible to diagnose by the user.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Graphics Platform: X11
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel HD
 
P.S. This is the worst bug on KDE 6, so far. Whatever happened on 6.0.4, must be reverted (regression). For me its a total showstopper :(

So all of you with NVIDIA GPUs, you're experiencing something different from what the OP is reporting; it's an NVIDIA GPU driver bug, especially if you're using the experimental 555 driver series.

bugreporting@mailna.me, are you still able to experience this in Plasma 6.1.4 or later? If so, I'll see if I can walk you through some troubleshooting.
