Random Plasma crash since 5.26 update

I use intensively Plasma - about 10 to 12 hours a day - on 2 laptops, but I am with Wayland instead of X11 and never got those issues after the last updates.
Did you try a Wayland session? ( Even if as a workaround)

I’m switching between x11 and wayland and have no problem at all. Not a single crash

AMD 5600X // RX6800XT

No problem here either. I have purposely tried Wayland on KDE also and no issues either. But again as i have said many times users change stuff like themes or other things and then they run into problems.

On an other topic the problem was, that the screen goes black but the mouse keep moving… but with xfce. In the recent days I had similar “issues” but though that my system on the hardware base makes trouble with the sleep-mode.

But when it happens under xfce too, the problem is more likely x11, kernel…

That supposed, since the last Kernel 6.0.7 update (testing), I had no black screen anymore.

Hello,

I have analyzed the last crashes and in the logs appear coredumps of the binary: wpscloudsvr
This is related to the wps-office software.

I’m going to keep an eye on it and see if when I have a crash I have the application open.

I will keep you informed.

Thanks!

Do you have the language thing installed? Hunspell?

Hello,

I completely rule out that it is the wps-office software, today it was not running and my Plasma broke.

First of all, sorry for posting here, this seems to be off topic, but I guess it could be useful to discard WPS as the culprit of DE crashes.

I have same errors with wpscloudsvr on EOS and Linux Mint 21, both on Cinnamon DE.

I’ve tried installing it, including spanish dictionary, but the error persists, generally, after opening a file:

  • On Linux Mint: WPS is closed
  • On EOS: WPS is closed and restarted

Hello,

I rule out that the problem is due to wps, as it keeps happening to me without having wps running.

I don’t get any of these errors so something you have installed or something you have changed from the initial install.

Hi, I have to read it more carefully, but in Kde bugs there is a problem similar to mine:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461316

Hello,

At the moment it is confirmed that there is a bug still under study in kwin_x11.

@ricklinux , this is a clear example, just because it doesn’t happen to you doesn’t mean that there is no bug.

Regards

Just because it happens to you also doesn’t mean it’s a bug. All issues are not bugs. :wink:

Hi, I agree, but I’m not the only one who had this problem :wink:.

Hello, after the update of the mesa package I have not had any more crashes.

Regards

My input to this discussion (may or may not be useful)
I read in a discussion somewhere (perhaps in this forum) someone was experiencing random crashes and was able to find a solution by installing the zen kernel.
I installed the zen kernel 6.16-zen1-2-zen, using akm
Rebooted. Observing the messages scrolling during the reboot I saw a bunch of errors related to my AMD GPU about attempting to use memory areas that were unavailable.
After rebooting, again I restarted my laptop to seen if the AMD GPU errors were still present. They had disappeared. The only difference is a stop job for SDDM delays rebooting for 1m30s.
This may or may not help.
