Always crashes

[fn-ix]

Hello!

After cycling through several shaders, I selected one which would crash the session (I could only move the mouse), however after a reinstall, the crash now occurs whichever shader I choose. Are there any config/cache files that remain after removing the plugin that would cause this behavior and which I should delete manually?

Was running version 2.0.1a.

@fn-ix sorry the UI is still bad, but at the very bottom there's this hint in case things are going wrong

$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/wallpaper/online.knowmad.shaderwallpaper
pkill plasmashell && plasmashell &

first it removes the whole thing, then you kill plasmashell and relaunch it

I'm not sure what's causing the crash, can you tell me about your computer specs? Are you running this on an iGPU? If not, Nvidia or AMD?

No worries. I saw the hint too but after uninstalling with kpackagetool5 -t Plasma/Wallpaper --remove online.knowmad.shaderwallpaper the folder wasn't there anymore, which is why I'm curious if the plugin creates any files anywhere else. I have standard Intel UHD graphics, but to reiterate, several (over half) of the shaders worked fine until I happened upon one that crashed the session, and afterwards none of the shaders that worked before suddenly worked anymore, even after uninstall/reinstall and restart of the computer...

@fn-ix sadly not that I'm aware, but something like this must be happening if you're still getting the crashes...

For iGPU i usually recommend checking the "compatibility mode" checkbox at the bottom, but i'm assuming you've tried this already.

I'll be sure to message you if ever I encounter or figure out the issue!
