KDE Software Compilation 468180 0 VHI ASSIGNED Plasmashell crashed in QQuickTransition::prepare() after closing a notification 2023-09-13 06:53:36 UTC

Description Adam Williamson 2023-08-15 18:23:16 UTC
openQA is showing that plasmashell sometimes crashes when we open the "Status and Notifications" pane and click "Notifications", e.g. here:

https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/2073354

if you watch the video - https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/2073354/video?filename=video.ogv&t=51.08,51.12 carefully, around the 11:30:36 mark, you can see the test clicks Notifications, and the entire desktop briefly goes black while the shell reloads. In the system logs we see this:

(the timestamp difference is just a timezone thing). Not sure how to get better details on the crash, please advise.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a Fedora 39 or Rawhide KDE live image
2. Wait ten minutes (probably not necessary, but openQA does this)
3. Click the up-arrow thingy in the bottom right pane to open the "Status and Notifications" pane
4. Click "Notifications"
Actual Results:  
Desktop briefly goes black then reloads, you never actually get where clicking "Notifications" should have taken you

Expected Results:  
Clicking "Notifications" should work as expected

Comment 1 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 08:08:14 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2023-09-13 06:22:08 UTC
Ping? This is still happening, and it's quite a bad bug.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2023-09-13 06:23:05 UTC
Note: I think this only happens when booted live, not after install.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2023-11-14 23:46:32 UTC
hmm, well, https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/2260970 seems like it happening post-install...

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2024-11-27 21:27:44 UTC
Fedora Linux 39 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-11-26.

Fedora Linux 39 is no longer maintained, which means that it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 Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.
