Hi. Need to find out if this widget is really causing the crash. Try disabling the widget or turning off the auto-check interval to see if the crashes persist. Were there any crashes before, or did they start only after the latest Plasma update?
Thanks for replying. @exequtic
To be honest I have had auto-check disabled for past few days. Still crashes persist. I forgot about that. Crashes were happening much less before on Plasma 6.0.x now it's becoming too annoying. Borderline unusable. As I said I reported to KDE devs they weren't helpful at all.
I am not blaming your widget but since it's the only active one I wondered. If that helps here's my report >> Here
It's frustrating not knowing what is causing this crash.
Can you check the "Journald Browser" or "KSystemLog" provided in kde? Maybe you can get a bit more context on what happened beforehand for a more helpful outcome.
I have to say, I feel like there's definitely a correlation. Twice now, I have observed with my own eye Plasma crashing/restarting just as Apdatifier started an update check.
You can see here that it crashes just about once a day. I've since then paused Apdatifier and only use manual check and there hasn't been a crash since the 16th.
Now I can't say whether it's a Plasma problem or the widget, I really only use this one (that isn't a default Plasma one), but I do think something is tied to this.
There you go. Sorry was very busy with my projects and potential war here. But yes I can confirm the behavior.
It happened on my laptop during Kernel update and rebuild which in turn resulted in unbootable system that I fixed via chroot.
Issue has been there since Plasma 6.1.x so no clue.
To be clear, it never happened to me during an update, the only times I've been able to see this is when the widget is setup to auto check and starts an actual check, as in, it starts and Plasma immediately crashes and restarts.
It never really created any issues for me beyond that, but seeing it happens twice as soon as the auto check started made me suspicious, although I'm not sure how I could confirm the times I'm not in front of the machine since I don't believe there's any log for the widget? Something that would show each time the auto check happens.
For me it almost always happens an update initiated through widget. It's really annoying. I can't live without it so I put up with it.
Requires a lot of investigation which I have no time for right now coz a war is about to blow here gotta find shelter soon.
Hey my friend
I dunno why, but when widget initiates an update check sometimes plasmashell decides to crash on both X11 and Wayland. I sent report to KDE devs they just said not related to Plasma. I am unsure if it's actually your widget causing it or not.. If not disregard.
I don't have any other widgets running only Apdatifier.
