Created attachment 176146 [details] journalctl of plasmashellservice Hi, The report is in attachement ; config at the bottom. Action 1 : move dictionary widget from the widget selector to the destkop creates the black screen desktops Action 2 : restored desktop by deleting plasma-org.kde... in /.config Action 3: performed same action as action 1 with same result I could not reproduce with another widget than the dictionary. Operating System: Kubuntu 24.10 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.11.0-8-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® N100 Memory: 15.4 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Graphics
If something crashed, we need a backtrace of it so we can figure out what's going on. Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash using the coredumpctl command-line program, as detailed in https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl? Thanks.
I thought journalctl logs would be enough and I won't reproduce the crash again to lose all my settings as I don't have the time for it.. We may close this one or if you just happen to have a test environement, do this drag and drop of the dictionary widget and see what happens Sorry but over the last few weeks as a regular user I'm just experiencing too many issues and cannot take time anymore for the moment : a few KDE bug reported + Thunderbird snap loading new mails inconstently(forced by the ubuntu update) I switched back to flat package which solve the issue, and yesterday, firefox 133 generating general CSS issues which you may see on forums.
If you can't supply a backtrace, then I'm afraid there's no way for us to debug the issue, sorry. Adding a Dictionary widget to my desktop doesn't crash Plasma on git master, so the best I can tell you is "it's probably fixed already". It sounds like you're having lots of general issues with the distro beyond just KDE software. I'd recommend getting in contact with the Kubuntu folks to see if they can help.
