Traceback log of desktop crash
SUMMARY
I'm not exactly sure what caused the desktop to crash, as I had several
applications running, including konsole, firefox, dolphin, and
gnome-disk-utility, which I was using to format a usb thumbdrive to store some
files. I am running kubuntu 19.04 and I am fully up to date with all available
software updates. I have not been using kubuntu very long, only having it
installed about a week, and in that time I have not experienced any bugs using
the gnome-disk-util to format any other partitions or mount storage etc. The
reason for using this usbdrive is because my unencrypted windows ntfs partition
will not mount in RW, even when running mount in konsole as su, but, its
possible that the cause is my current dual-boot setup, I may have made a
mistake setting it up. Although, it also seems like kubuntu may have a problem
with ntfs in general.
To get back to the topic at hand, please see the attached system traceback for
more precise information about the issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE (possibly?)
1. On an up-to-date 19.04 kde desktop
2. Install and run gnome-disk-utility
3. Attempt to format a usb thumbdrive to ntfs
OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop began to flicker and fade midway through the formatting process, it
was very obvious that it was experiencing an error. The desktop eventually
stopped flickering and killed its process, and it started back-up quickly
without error, displaying the crash notification in the system tray. Although,
it seems like it formatted my usb alright, as I was able to store files on it
afterwards.
EXPECTED RESULT
The desktop not doing that.
