Bug ID: 471903
Summary: plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc generates
crash in plasma applications, because "screenMapping"
variable has excessive length
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
Hi,
after making routine updates on Debian, the malfunction indicated above is
occurred:
__vm_enough_memory: pid: nnnn, comm: plasmashell, not enough memory for
the allocation
I thought it was a problem related to the new library installed, so I reported
the bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1040140
However, after some tests, I checked that the problem seems to depend on the
processes that manage the file:
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
since they do not control the maximum length of the "screenmapping" variable,
which over time can increase drastically (as in my case) and generate the
problem.
I noticed that if this variable is removed, everything works well.
I wanted to ask if a check on the max length of this variable can be inserted,
to avoid future problems (or if you can tell me how to disable this behavior).
Thanks,
Antonio
