Plasma 5.20 Hangs

[finotti]

I've updated Plasma in three systems, one desktop running aptosid and two laptops running siduction.  The desktop and one of the laptops are working perfectly, but one of the laptops (running up to date siduction) hangs in the splash screen.

I've tried older kernels, removing the .kde directory, new user, and nothing worked.  SDDM shows up fine and I can log in fluxbox, but plasma always hangs in the splash screen.

I cannot copy and paste right now (as my son is using it in Windows) but here is some older info about the system:

Please let me know if I can provide any more relevant info.

How long did you wait?

After updating I had to wait at the first login for some minutes till the desktop appears.
Now all is okay and the login is fast, normal as before.

[finotti]

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I tried waiting...  After a long while the splash screen disappears and I get a black screen with the mouse pointer, but no desktop and no command works.

Trying to switch to a VT I get a blank screen with no login option.  Now after waiting a while in the blank screen VT, I started getting the errors shown in the picture here: http://www.math.utk.edu/~finotti/error.jpg


Googling the error I found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/905710/ext4-fs-error-after-ubuntu-17-04-upgrade  But the suggested kernel parameter change did not help.

I can use fluxbox for a while with no disk error, so it seems that plasma is triggering it.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

[finotti]

I could capture a couple more sets of errors:

http://www.math.utk.edu/~finotti/error2.jpg
http://www.math.utk.edu/~finotti/error3.jpg

Again, despite the fact that it seems it is a disk problem, I can work without problem with fluxbox (and LXQt, which I just installed) and in Windows.  fsck also shows no errors.

[dibl]

@finotti, on the "hangs on splash", check my post under the Updates forum.

[finotti]

Thanks for the reply, dibl!

I had seen your post before, but I never used the preining repo's, so I assumed it was a different problem.  I will double check the library versions (when I can hog the laptop again), but it is unlikely that that is the problem.

[dibl]

Check your libkwaylandserver5 package version.

[finotti]

Check your libkwaylandserver5 package version.

It seems to be the correct one...

event calendar installed? if so, please update it.
or, test with a test user to open a plasma session.

Thanks for the reply!

I am not sure which package is "event calendar", but the system is up to date.  I also tried plasma with a fresh new user, and had the same problem....

[dibl]

Is there plenty of free space available on the disk partition where /home is located?

[devil]

Have you also looked at journalctl or dmesg for clues besides KDE?

[finotti]

Thanks dibl and devil for the replies!

@dibl: I do have plenty of space available:

@devil: I have the result of journalct in my second post.  I did not see anything relevant.

I found a new way to reproduce the problem: running 'smartctl -l error /dev/nvme0n1'.

The current SSD is this one: https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5/ct1000p5ssd8.  I have SMART enabled in the BIOS.

The following should (I believe) show enabled:

Code: [Select]

l5580[/home/finotti]# smartctl --info /dev/nvme0n1 | grep 'SMART support is:'

Since it doesn't, I tried to enable it, but it still does not show:

Use 'smartctl -a' (or '-x') to print SMART (and more) information

But again, asking for the error log freezes the system just like starting KDE.

I can work, without problems, using flexbox, with no disk errors.

I am not sure if SMART is working or not, since there seems to be conflicting info...   (It does not show enabled, but some commands run fine.)  I will try to do a long test later..

The use of smartmontools with NVMe is still experimental: https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/NVMe_Support
