KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/bin/plasmashell
KCrash: Application ‘plasmashell’ crashing… crashRecursionCounter = 2
fish: Job 1, ‘plasmashell’ terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

This is what I was able to recover from the errors while trying to restart plasmashell from the terminal, but I couldn’t make much sense of it. itried launching a session with both Wayland and x11 display server, but the result was the same. the operating system is arch, and I’ve installed all currently available updates.
I remain available for any further information that might help understand and resolve the issue.
Thankyou in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

With crashes, the best way to gather actionable traces is through coredump, i.e stacktrace:

I recommend this blog post by @akselmo for reference

tldr;

coredumpctl debug plasmashell -A "-ex bt -ex quit" |& tee backtrace.txt

Typically plasma crashes are due to additional plasmoids/applets, if they have a bug they will crash plasma. You can try to deactivate your third-party widgets to check if you have any.
The stack trace should tell us as well.

First of all, thank you for your quick and kind reply.
I tried following the instructions, and as far as I can tell, I haven’t installed any third-party plasmoids/applets or widgets.
What do you mean by “stack trace”?
In the meantime, I’m attaching the results I’ve obtained so far.

What do you mean by “stack trace”?

You just outputed one :slight_smile:
That’s a technical term, a textual form of a program state, allowing developers to track crashes among other things. You don’t need to know more. But if you are curious Stack trace - Wikipedia

In the meantime, I’m attaching the results I’ve obtained so far.

Very nice.

The trace could be a lot more complete if you install https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=debuginfod and rerun the same command. Sorry I should have mentioned it earlier.

This should make the Stack trace more complete, in particular the line #13 and #9 and #7 that aren’t telling us where in plasmashell the error occured.

Important to mention, would be if you are using X11 or Wayland and GPU hardware, that could shed some light.

I believe I’ve already installed debuginfod (both debuginfod and debuginfod-find commands are available in the shell), following the “Debug symbols for all!” guide as well as the dedicated ArchWiki page.
Only after completing the installation did I run coredumpctl as instructed, but I’m not sure if I followed all the steps correctly — I may have missed a detail, as English is not my first language.

I also apologize for the poor formatting of my previous message. I had trouble pasting the entire coredumpctl output in a single block and wasn’t able to attach it as a text file.

For completeness, as requested, I’m using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, and I tested both Wayland and X11 sessions under Plasma. In both cases, plasmashell crashes immediately after login.

Thank you very much for your patience and support.
I’m available to provide any additional details or log outputs in plain text format, if that would help.

So the output should be correct unless the binaries you are running don’t match the ones on-disk, i.e you will need to reboot and reproduce again to get a complete output with coredumpctl gdb.

After upgrades, it is important to reboot at some point.

You might have doesn't match build-id from core-file during file-backed mapping processing message in the command output indicating it.

Btw the result of the command is stored in the file backtrace.txt when using coredumpctl debug plasmashell -A "-ex bt -ex quit" |& tee backtrace.txt.

Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll also take a look at that post to try and understand better.

This fix will be in next Kde Frameworks 6.17 in a month.
You can try to backport this to the kirigami package.
