I have found that the application Neofetch causes plasmashell to crash when run from Konsole. The plasmashell crash handler cannot automatically report the issue and I am not sure if the output from the crash reporting tool is useful or not.
Reading over the instructions for doing a backtrace with GDB has left me a bit confused. Running GDB on neofetch seems pointless so I need to run it on the already running instance of plasmashell and trigger the crash from neofetch.
What would be the right set of usage commands? Given plasmashell is a persistent app, I am unsure how to go about this as the instructions in the docs are for running the a crashing app, not a system process effected by the app.
My thoughts are to run GDB with the pid, but… which pid, there are 15 of them? And then, I am not sure how to proceed from there?
The next step in the GDB process is to run the faulty app from the debugger console and cause it to crash, but needless to say, it cannot be forced into a crash by itself, I have to trigger is with neofetch.
I do not really know what to do in this case.
TIA
