--- Comment #3 from d...@aninstanceofme.com --- (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #2) > Please ask for help in a forum of your distribution how to install debug > packages for PPAs. I have a lot of PPA debug packages for the Kwin backport installed, including kwin-common-dbgsym, kwin-x11-dbgsym, kwin-wayland-dbgsym, qml-module-org-kde-kwindowsystem-dbgsym. However, each time the crash occurs, different packages are being identified by the system as the source of the crash; initially it was "kwin" as below, then it became installed apps (e.g. Yakuake, then something else the next time, depending on what was running when the machine was suspended). It is as if an initial crash causes a crash cascade. The crash / backtrace dialog is quite useless here - it simply reports an error in downloading the debug packages, but does not provide any further details. Precise missing debug packages are not identified. After clicking to restart the session (with the crash reporter failing to have made a bug report due to inadequate information), I'm then presented with another X-Message dialog: `Could not start Ksmserver. Check your installation`. I click "okay" - which then punts me back to the login screen, where I'm able to finally start a new session. I don't know where to go from here. Without knowing exactly which additional packages are actually required for a backtrace, I'm at a loss. I've already spent too much time faffing about trying to report this bug, as whilst annoying, is not a showstopper, and is likely an edge-case for my system setup (PPA on top of Kubuntu 18.04, for example). I'm content to simply remember to switch the monitor on before waking from sleep - however just thought a bug report might be helpful to the project. But if the information I've provided is inadequate and you're not in a position to provide precise guidance as to which additional packages, exactly, I need to install to get a useful backtrace, then please feel free to close this report. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
