Bug#839710: plasma-workspace: Comic Plasma Widget causes black screen, restart X necessary
Control: severity -1 important Control: tag -1 + confirmed upstream Control: forwarded -1 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370194 ¡Hola Maria! El 2016-10-04 a las 10:55 +0200, Maria escribió: Package: plasma-workspace Version: 4:5.7.4-1 The bug is also reproducible in plasma 5.8.0. Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software I think that the critical severity is an bit too much. But this definitely needs to be discussed with upstream. A plasmoid shouldn't cause plasmashell to crash. Dear Maintainer, Step 1: place Comic Widget on your Desktop Step 2: install PhD Comics Step 3: by today (04.10.2016) go 9 steps back (to the previous comics) For the record the "evil" comic is: http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1889 I'm not sure if this is caused by the multiple images, the video link or some different parsing error. Result: Complete black screen, only possibillity to escape is killing X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace When this happens you can restart plasmashell with krunner (Alt+Space is the default shortcut). Also kwin and all the other applications should still be working, so you can save your work, switch between windows, etc, if you decide to restart your session. Reproducible: always Expected behaviour: I expect the Widget to not allow an installed Comic to break my system, however bad/corrupt it might be build. I am sorry if I categorized this Bug report in the wrong section, but as I had to kill my actual session (which in many circumstances can cause serious data loss) I've put it in this category. This needs to be discussed upstream. I've forwarded the plasmashell issue, which I think it's the real issue here, to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370194 If you consider the plasmoid issue to be important enough, please forward that bug upstream as well.

Thanks, Maria Carthago-Note: I am convinced that even widgets should have an "About" Section containing at least information about the package they belong to - making bug reports easier. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages plasma-workspace depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.10.10-1 ii frameworkintegration 5.25.0-1 ii gdb-minimal [gdb]7.11.1-2 ii kde-cli-tools4:5.7.4-1 ii kded55.25.0-1 ii kinit5.25.0-1 ii kio 5.25.0-1 ii kpackagetool55.25.0-1 ii libc62.24-3 ii libcln6 1.3.4-1 ii libdbusmenu-qt5-20.9.3+16.04.20160218-1 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-11 ii libgps22 3.16-3 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libkf5activities55.25.0-1 ii libkf5auth5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5baloo5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5bookmarks5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5calendarevents55.25.0-1 ii libkf5completion55.25.0-1 ii libkf5configcore55.25.0-1 ii libkf5configgui5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons55.25.0-1 ii libkf5crash5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5dbusaddons55.25.0-1 ii libkf5declarative5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5globalaccel-bin5.25.0-2 ii libkf5globalaccel5 5.25.0-2 ii libkf5guiaddons5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5holidays5 16.04.2-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5iconthemes55.25.0-1 ii libkf5idletime5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5itemviews5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5jobwidgets55.25.0-1 ii libkf5js55.25.0-1 ii libkf5jsembed5 5.25.0-2 ii libkf5kdelibs4support5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5kiofilewidgets55.25.0-1 ii libkf5kiowidgets55.25.0-1 ii libkf5networkmanagerqt6 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5newstuff5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5notifications5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5notifyconfig5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5package5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5plasma55.25.0-1 ii libkf5plasmaquick5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5quickaddons5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5runner55.25.0-1 ii libkf5service-bin5.25.0-1 ii libkf5service5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5solid5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5texteditor55.25.0-1 ii libkf5textwidgets5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5wallet-bin 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5wallet55.25.0-1 ii libkf5waylandclient5 4:5.25.0-1 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5windowsystem5 5.25.0-1 ii libkf5xmlgui55.25.0-1 ii libkf5xmlrpcclient5 5.25.0-1 ii libkscreenlocker55.7.4-1 ii libksgrd74:5.7.4-1 ii libkworkspace5-5 4:5.7.4-1 ii liblegacytaskmanager54:5.7.4-1 ii
