--- Comment #9 from vindicator <nroycea+...@gmail.com> --- Testing this further (instead of just rebooting), I found that killing the kdeinit5 threads "file.so", sets things back the way it should (no crashes, thumbnails are generated). I first suicided kdeinit5. Then ps showed the previous, along with new instances existed as well as the "file.so" threads: ***** $ ps -ef |grep kdeini userName 1298 1 0 Dec03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/kf5/start_kdeinit userName 1300 1 0 Dec03 ? 00:00:01 kdeinit5: Running... userName 70978 1300 0 Dec03 ? 00:00:40 kcalc [kdeinit5] userName 1721649 1300 0 19:55 ? 00:00:00 file.so [kdeinit5] file local:/run/user/<uid>/klauncherknWPUc.1.slave-socket local:/run/user/<uid>/kded5iOYDAY.1.slave-socket userName 1721650 1300 0 19:55 ? 00:00:00 file.so [kdeinit5] file local:/run/user/<uid>/klauncherknWPUc.1.slave-socket local:/run/user/<uid>/kded5mmOANs.2.slave-socket userName 1721652 1 0 19:55 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit5: Running... ***** It was only after killing those 2 sockets did the crashes stop and thumbnails start generating again. Nothing else I provided told you enough. Hopefully this does something. I at least now know what I can do instead of rebooting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
