#8 KDE Memory Usage widget in task manager crashes plasmashell
Opened a month ago by dylanchapell. Modified a month ago

Overview

After upgrading packages on May 20th, plasmashell now crashes if the Memory Usage widget is added to the task bar. I am reporting it here because it does not occur on x86 Fedora, but if this would be more appropriate to report upstream, please let me know.

System information

OS: Fedora Asahi Remix 40
Machine: Macbook Air M1 16gb
DE: KDE
Compositor: Wayland
FAR was installed with F39 in the fall and upgraded with system-upgrade upgrade on 5/10. On 5/20, the system packages were upgraded again and the problem occurred.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Right click on task manager
  2. Add Widgets...
  3. Add Memory Usage
  4. Click on the new Memory Usage widget in the task bar
    For me, plasmashell crashes here and loops attempting to restart

Other testing

This problem does not occur on Fedora 40 KDE x86_64
I do not have the capability to test this on a fresh install of FAR, but I did test with a new user account.

I would recommend filing this with KDE upstream, as we have no modifications on the KDE stack.
