Plasma Crashes

[TheSupremeVizier]

Thank you for your response, claydoh. I finally got the time to dive back into this.

Yesterday I changed from Desktop to Folder view. Yesterday I removed all widgets/icons from ~/Desktop and repopulated the applications (widgets/icons) onto the Desktop within the Folder view, so all widgets/icons are "new". I exercised all applications on the Desktop with no issues.

Today the plasma desktop experienced a crash while I was using Chromium in Incognito mode while viewing a video on a news site. The video did not crash. Chromium did not crash. Only the plasma desktop crashed.

I think I will stop using Chromium for a while and instead use Chrome. If the issue still occurs, I will move away from Chrome and try Firefox or Opera. Then if the issue still occurs, I might consider yet another fresh install.

Same thing here. System runs for a bit, then plasmadesktop freezes. I have to ctl-alt-del to get a reboot screen. I have currently changed to oxygen from sweet global theme AND I made sure I was logging into plasma-Wayland over x11. Good news is that my clock widget also freezes at the same time. Bad news is that the system keeps freezing during journalctl in yakuake.

I thought it was an Nvidia thing because it cleared up after I threw ubuntu-drivers at it. I also don't think it's a browser issue because I use Firefox and the same thing happens.

ok, my system ran alright until I changed my icons to something other than Breeze. I've changed back to Breeze-Dark as my global theme. Everything is set back to Breeze(-Dark). I will monitor.

My system is currently in the process of freezing. Firefox hasn't frozen yet. I guess we can discount a theme issue. this is journalctl -r. My clock is frozen at 10:24:50

OK my system is freezing due to Wayland. Or Nvidia and Wayland. So now I've been logging in plasma-x11 and haven't lost my menu bars or firefox.
