Hi,
there are no third party plasmoids on my system, really only stuff from
the official repository. Recompilation with debug symbols is much time
consuming, but it will be an option to follow next week or so. You
mentioned the third party thing. I noticed a wired thing on my two row
task bar in the panel before plasma crashed. My English is not so good
that I can describe this perfectly. Maybe this little graphics is a good
way to tell you.
On one desktop the task bar shows this.
1st row |firefox|
2nd row |firefox|
Then I switched to another desktop and then back again. The taskbar
shows this now.
1st row | ||firefox|
2nd row |firefox|
On the first position of the the first row there appears an empty field.
A few seconds later plasma crashes.
It is strange.
Thanks for your time!
Bye,
Lars

Hi Lars,
Hello,
Plasma crashes several times a day on my Arch Linux installation (32 bit)
with a segmentation fault and recovers immediately. The problem has been
occured since the release of version 4.3.0. I did not remember such a
problem using version 4.2.x. My system is up-to-date, installed software is
taken only from the official repositories core, extra and community, the
desktop effects are enabled and the graphics card driver is the nvidia
closed source one. There is no bug report about this on bugs.archlinux.org.
Does anybody have similar problems?
Bye,

It's hard to say what could cause this. Do you have any (3rd-party?)
plasmoids installed? Maybe it is caused by a misbehaving C++ Plasmoid,
so try to remove them one after another and see if the crashes
disappear.
Obtaining a backtrace is also handy in order to locate where the
problem is. But that requires you to rebuild the kdelibs and kdebase
packages, which may be time consuming.
Or, you could try if you see the same problem with kdemod, they offer
debug packages straight from the repository.
For the record, I have no problems with Plasma on two very different
machines (32bit and 64bit), both running KDEmod.
Kind regards,
