Description Marja Van Waes 2016-03-08 09:51:37 CET

Occasionally, when switching from Plasma5 to tty2 or another VT, my system crashes.

This has happened at least 3 times since I made a clean Mga5 install to replace my broken cauldron on January 18 and upgraded to cauldron on the same day.
However, I see the error from the Summary 7 times, just don't remember at all whether I switched to a VT from Plasma5, too at those times and am too lazy to check (will do when told it matters)

I'll attach the last trace later, forgot to use the expert bug form

It is impossible to see whether I was switching to a VT in the journal.
However, it happened both when already logged in in that VT before, and when not yet logged in.

Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the Source RPM field that are assigned to tmb, to the kernel packagers group, because tmb is currently MIA.

Assignee: tmb => kernel

I don't remember having seen such crashes in Mageia 6 or later, so closing

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
