Bug ID: 500351
Summary: Plasma shell crash
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: phoenix91...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Hello. I want to report a bug which probably partly known, but got new details.
I have NVidia GPU and proprietary 570.XX driver of NVidia. Plasma shell
pereodically crashes, but restarts (reason unknown, no windows/dialogs showing
any crash report option). But recently I found a thing that forces plasma shell
crash instantly and not restart. In simple words, any time I press menu, fast
searh, type "kate" and open it, within 20-30 seconds plasma shell dead, black
background, no taskbar and all of it's contents. Only manual reactivation like
"kstart plasmashell &" restores plasma shell back. And as far as I saw every
time kate closed and reopened, plasma shell dies (on nvidia, other gpus
untested, since only gpu I have).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use NVidia gpu, plasma 6.3 on Wayland with nvidia proprietary driver
2. Open side menu for app search and type "kate"
3. Open Kate
4. Plasma shell completely dies without reloading even itself.
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma shell dies after opening Kate for unknown reason (guide how to get any
logs). Important thing is, Kate itself stays alive, but after opening Kate
plasma shell r.i.p.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should normally keep plasma shell operational

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please, I know how you hate nvidia guys, but please, let's try to solve it
please. Once any info that is usable from your end, I will demand any
fixes/info needed from nvidia and annoy them. Hope report will not be dropped
silently just because it's nvidia driver. Aside from that plasma shell issues,
all the rest operates ideally.
