Plasma Abstürze

[Lanzi]

Habe seit einiger Zeit gelegentlich Abstürze von Plasma, so dass der komplette Arbeitsbereich schwarz ist. offene Programme sind aber nach wie vor sichtbar und bedienbar.

Hat das noch jemand? Und vor allem, wie starte ich Plasma neu so das die offenen Programme nicht auch neu gestartet werden?

Code: [Select]

journalctl -u plasma
-- No entries --

I have similar problems with my two monitor set up, although it's not clear we have the same problem... 

I made a script

Code: [Select]

kquitapp5 plasmashell ; /usr/bin/plasmashell --shut-up &

and call it with "Alt + F2", which still works for me, and it fixes the problem.  I have to do it after every log in, though.

I also have a two Monitor-Setup.
Thanks for the script.

Works like a charm :-)

[Lanzi]

BTW: with the script I got this errormessage a lot of times... maybe its an overflow that crashes after some time plasma

Code: [Select]

kde.systemtray: Wrong IconThemePath "~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-9.4.49/images" : too short or does not end with 'icons'

Hello,

I use default themes and have no issues with a two monitor setup.

I don't know what it is, but my two systems running two screens (work and home) have problems.  One of them gives me one black screen and one screen in the wrong monitor.  The other gives me two black screens.

I wonder if it could be the driver...  Both of mine are running intel cards and drivers.  Here is the one at work:

Code: [Select]

$ inxi -xGc0
Graphics:  Card: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0
           Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 driver: intel Resolution: 1920x1200@59.95hz, 1280x1024@60.02hz
           GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Haswell Desktop GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.2 Direct Rendering: Yes

The one at home (thorugh ssh):

Code: [Select]

$ inxi -xGc0
Graphics:  Card: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0
           Display Server: X.org 1.18.4 driver: intel tty size: 132x74 Advanced Data: N/A out of X

@finotti - sounds like the "normal" libkscreen behaviour to be honest. It is a little bit unstable right now. No joke, we struggle with the same things in LXQt if i understand your issue right.

I tested a bit...
I put the widget für Memoryuse on my desktop (Speicherstatus) and saw that prior to the plasmacrash my physical memory and my swapmemory were completly full (32Gbyte). So plasma crashes because ot the memoryleak.
Unfortunatly this is quite unpredictable... It always happnes when I am not working with my computer.
I will try to identify the cause.

[melmarker]

rule of thumb - buy more memory and remove the widget

[Lanzi]

I never even got close to filling up 32 GByte of RAM. But I am not working with really huge files, just hundreds of tabs and a couple virtual machines at most. That might fill 16 - 20 Gbyte, but that's it for me.

[Lanzi]

exactly, and this happed by itself. without working on the computer. We need to wait, until I can reproduce the error.
Maybe its already gone.
