Description Gerry Agbobada 2018-06-04 18:33:36 UTC
Created attachment 1447603 [details]
output from plasmashell during steps 1-3

Description of problem:
When trying to customize the wallpaper of my desktop with right click > configure desktop, the first change happens without issue but the second time I try within the same login session, plasmashell crashes

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-desktop 5.12.90-1

How reproducible:
Almost always (= I tried to reproduce twice and it happened both times)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on desktop and "configure desktop"
2. Choose and set a wallpaper (a user file selected with the "add new image" dialog)
3. Right click on desktop and "configure desktop" again

Actual results:
plasmashell crashes

Expected results:
The same dialog as the first try shows

Additional info:
After the first crash in a session, I launched plasmashell in a terminal and gathered the output while doing steps 1->3. The output is in the attachment

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 20:54:59 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 18:58:18 UTC
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
