Description Dick Tracey 2025-09-07 17:24:10 UTC 
Yesterday, I installed and attempted to run open-tv-bin (Arch Linux AUR package), it just caused plasmashell to crash.

Since then, once plasmashell crashes once, it keeps crashing in an endless loop.
I see the error in CLI

kde.plasma.activitiesstats: [Error at ResultSetPrivate::initQuery]: QSqlError("11", "Unable to fetch row", "database disk image is malformed")

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and run open-tv-bin? (Arch Linux AUR package) At the least that's what I was doing when this first happened
2. Once it crashes plasmashell, restart plasmshell manually from CLI
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
plasmashell crashes again, if I dismiss report bug window, plasmashell restarts and crashes and the loop begins anew...

EXPECTED RESULT
no crashes

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As the message at the top of the summary says, 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.
