Description Alain Gellé 2019-09-11 17:57:19 CEST

Description of problem:
The installation of the widget "Comic Strip" works fine. The configuration of the widget is also ok. The widget is then working fine.
But on the next log in the widget make plasmashell crash. 
I get a black screen instead of the desktop.

It is strange since the first time, there is no errors. I've tried to use the command "kstart5 plasmashell" in a terminal, but it also crash. I can provide error lines if it helps you.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I use a fresh version of mageia 7, with last up-date.
I made no other modification except this widget.

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install comic strip widget on the desktop
2. Configure the widget and install a comics (Garfield for instance)
3. Log out
4. Log in

Please do.

I cannot pin down the relevant package, so assigning to the KDE team.

Adding CC to neoclust in case 'plasma-workspace' is the right area.

Despite these messages the widget works.

Hi, I did report the bug to KDE :
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413366

They said  : Crash is in libsqlite3. It could also be caused by an out-of-memory condition. In either case, not a Plasma bug.

They ask me for backtrace for the crash. If you are interested in, you can find it in the report.

Still valid in 7.1 and cauldron. This bug sticks with Mageia for years :(

Comment 8 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-07-06 13:14:09 CEST

Mageia 7 is EOL since July 1st 2021.
There will not have any further bugfix for this release.

You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 8 as soon as possible.

@reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it.

@packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead.

This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.

Still broken in MGA8 and Cauldron: Add comic to desktop, and on next logon Plasma crashes, leaving a black screen...

At least in Cauldron it seems fixed.
