Bug ID: 449431
Summary: PlasmaUserFeedback crashes/freezes whole desktop
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mequer...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When I started my PC today, I was greeted by an empty wallpaper (and then later
only a black screen) after KDE started. No panels loaded and right-clicking the
desktop didn't do anything. I could open a terminal with alt+space (krunner)
and I executed plasmashell, but it crashed every time.
So then I moved my .config folder to .config.bak, after which KDE started fine.
I kept moving files around until I finally found the culprit:
.config/PlasmaUserFeedback. After deleting that file but keeping all other
files, KDE started and worked without issue.
I also made a new test user, created a home directory for the test user, and
put PlasmaUserFeedback in /home/test/.config/. And this produced the same
crash/freeze as well.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have .config/PlasmaUserFeedback with content "[Global]\nFeedbackLevel=64"
2. Execute startplasma-wayland
3. Notice how plasmashell can't load and that it crashes if you try to start it
manually
