#PlasmaShell
MY GDB FUCKING CRASHED FOR TRYING TO DEBUG MY PLASMASHELL WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK
November 8, 2026 at 3:10 AM
My plasmashell crashed. GDB'd its core dump.

Downloaded debuginfod cuz without it, I saw none.

Backtraced it.

I saw no code; only local variables. Some variables are <optimized out>

How the fuck do I learn about the bug if the information was hidden away from me for "optimization"?? Smh

Been on CachyOS for several months and, I must say that it's been mostly smooth sailing.

But if you're gonna use Linux - especially a bleeding edge distro like Cachy - you should know how to switch to another tty (Ctrl+Alt+F3 for tty3) and use btop to kill plasmashell (it'll bounce back) if frozen
History has proven that Windows will never get better. Once you accept that, the practical and ethical need for alternatives becomes crystal clear. It is not an easy ask, but a just future cannot involve Windows. aftermath.site/we-must-kill-w...

I don't really know how `restart`ing/`force-reload`ing `sddm.service` and `plasma-plasmashell.service` interacts with `plasmashell --replace`, uhhhhhhh-
October 24, 2026 at 7:57 PM
so I had to `dbus-run-session plasmashell` then send that to a background job and then disown the process to let init adopt it so I don't have a terminal hanging open.

I'm so tired,

speaking of,

Plasma got confused about which windows were on which desktop, so I went to restart it with `kquitapp/kstart`, which should be fine, but due to some dbus stupidity plasmashell is unable to re-start because it can't make the dbus endpoint....

I don't think I explained what I said above correctly. What I meant about "...to the point of a force restart of my machine..." was that plasmashell would keep crashing, and the only way I knew how to fix it was to force restart the machine.

The new @kde.org Plasma update 6.8 broke some of my items on my task-manager (taskbar), to the point where either they don't work, or if i try to pin them back to the task-manager, it'll crash plasmashell to the point of a force restart of my machine :/

Here's hoping it'll be fixed soon.

Ok, I managed to cause the taskbar to fuck up in Kubuntu. And turns out there's a relatively easy command to 'reset' it. First ALT + Spacebar to open the 'runner' at the top of the screen. Then enter the following:

systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell

sometimes I press Alt+F2 and run `plasmashell --replace` just to feel something

ダンプは再起動後のログに表示されるけど、Wine、Steam、Xwayland、plasmashell、…と出ていて整理しないと読みにくいかも

画像はとりあえず、plasmashellの(長すぎて画像でも貼りきれないけど、この後も似たようなパターンが続く感じ…)

plasmashell 自体の不具合じゃなくて Qt のバグっぽい ?
September 28, 2026 at 5:35 AM
plasmashell が segfault で死にまくる不具合に遭遇したけどなんか既知のバグらしい。なんだこれ
September 28, 2026 at 5:33 AM
nullptr になった後に再初期化を忘れてそう???

Alt+F2
plasmashell --replace &

Fals das nicht hilft

pkill -9 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell

Mal angenommen, um den kde plasmashell desktop reparieren zu lassen, hat man die .config umbenannt, damit sie neu geschrieben wird, dann zurück benannt, wo könnten jetzt alle Daten und Konfigurationen sein?

[KDE] I was kind of bored of plasmashell so I built my own

DEFAULT_SOURCE の今の値を確認しようと思ったけど、pulseaudio が入ってない(pipewire-pulse とコンフリクトするからpulseの方のインストール時に抜かれる)と、pacmd が使えないんだ……

> plasmashell[2046]: No object for name "@DEFAULT_SOURCE@" returning nullptr
とかが出てくるのもおかしい感じがするけど……

ok so plasmashell likes to freeze and pin a single core at 99.9% for 30 seconds-10 minuts at a time if you have pictures in the clipboard history okay cool
