KDE crashing and I don't understand why

Help

Hello,

I use KDE plasma wayland for my Arch linux computer using the LTS kernel.

For the last couple of months I have had a problem where KDE unexpectedly hard crashes.

Here is journalctl for the moment it crashed: Mar 11 13:01:44 aruna vlc[2961537]: [00005663c0521a60] main libvlc: Running vlc - Pastebin.com

Any help is appreciated!

You do know that there’s more than one, right?

Your system hit the per-process or system limit for open file descriptors… stopping dbus from monitoring directories.

However, there are too many reasons this could happen - I’m not sure I’d be able to focus on a solution there.

Does it still happen with a new USER? That’s my basic first step…

You got lots of locale warnings - so this points to a misconfigured system amongst other things… and issues with fonts, all kinds of things.

A new USER would eliminiate the USER issues in your journal and give you a cleaner focus and a comparison.

Sorry, I meant the lts kernel provided by Arch (Linux 6.12.74-1-lts)

Ok, because I have 6.18, 6.12, 6.6, 6.1, 5.15 and 5.10 marked as LTS kernels :wink: so that really is ‘one of many LTS options’.

I do think this is more a topic for the Arch Linux forum though - I’m sure it’s more systemic than KDE based… A fresh USER would help with that diagnosis.
