Bug ID: 416443
Summary: QT Particles seem to overload and block KDE Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.17.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: msdobre...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
QT Particles seem to overload and block KDE Plasma.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was looking for something to provide me a winter ambient (not necessarily a
Christmas feeling). I've found this:
https://github.com/IvanSafonov/plasma-wallpaper-snow.
It is such a simple add-on. A few lines of code.
Still, it seems to crash KSE Plasma somehow.
The simplicity of the add-on makes me wonder if there is something wrong with
QT/KDE/Plasma, although I have no clear clue.
Also, I have run this add-on every year in the winter.
Only now, the fourth year of its existence, I have faced such behaviour.
Maybe there is something changed in the frameworks, but I have no knowledge of
this. If there is something to break it, should have some message for old and
deprecated functions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the Plasma Wallpaper Snow add-on from
https://github.com/IvanSafonov/plasma-wallpaper-snow.
2. Set it up and let it go
3. In a day, KDE Plasma becames unresponsive, no UI interaction, looks frozen.
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE Plasma freezes.
EXPECTED RESULT
KDE Plasma should run the add-on for a long time, ideally for as long the
device is on.
