I installed recoll app sudo pacman -S recoll
,
Then after rebooting, each time I press Meta key and start typing to search for something, the whole Plasma desktop crashes with:
PID: 12516 (plasmashell)
...
Signal: 4 (ILL)
...
Message: Process 12516 (plasmashell) of user 1007 dumped core.

After checking Krunner settings, it seems a plugin called “Recoll” was automatically added and enabled.
Disabling it or simply removing recoll
package and rebooting solves the problem.
Shouldn’t Plasma desktop have a kind of safe mechanism to guard itself from crashing due to broken third party plugins?
