There is no end of crashes in Leap + KDE + Plasma + Qt5.
I encounter 10 crashes per day, on different computers. This is far worse than Windows, where I encounter 0 or 1 crashes per day.
(Who created this, who distributed this…? I recently read a review of Mint. What surprised me, is that there is a name in the review: “Mint’s lead developer Clément Lefebvre and team …”)
But to the crash:
I try to login into a remote computer using vncviewer. The remote computer runs Leap + KDE + Plasma + Qt5. The vncviewer shows a big black window, with a few windows in it, telling, yes, that there was a crash. Below is the crash report, with some modifications to avoid automatically inserted smiley faces (they seem to replace ‘: P’ combination).
Does anybody know how to correct? I used vncviewer for years, it worked good before the great leap.
Application: Plasma (plasmashell), signal: Aborted

do you have an nvidia card and are using novou?
There is a novou bug with plasma 5 you need to use nvidia’s propitiatory drivers,
if you are on a newer laptop you probobly need bumblebee + nvidia (as novou crashes plasma)
I’ve been running Leap a week before it came out (I got of ftp before the iso’s wore published) and I had regular crashes with novou https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92077
after installing the propitiatory codecs haven’t had a single crash.
have you tried a different desktop, did you do an update?
what is your repo list maybe you have a bad package
I observe several types of crashes, mostly related to libQt5 libraries, but also in some other code. Crashes occur usually when dealing with applications’ windows. No crashes in text mode.
I use only KDE, didn’t try other desktop environments.
I do updates regularly. Kernel version is 4.1.13-5-default. mesa version is 11.0.6-131.1. xorg-x11-server’s version is 7.6_1.17.2-9.1.
Here is the list of my repositories, with some removed:
I don’t see the nvidia repo anywhare?
how did you install the nvidia driver, if you did it the hard way after a kernel update you need to reinstall it!
you have 4 packman repo’s and adobe’s flash repo which is not needed as packman carries flash, so remove repo’s 1, 3, 4, 5 add the nvidia repo and install the nvidia driver the easy way
zypper rr 1 3 4 5
add nvidia but if you’ve installed it the hard way remove the old kernel module by running the *.run file
zypper ar ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.1/ nvidia
zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG04
replace G04 with G03 or G02 depending on how old your card is check nvidia’s site for more info
For now, I tried to login remotely via vnc from a computer running Leap into computer running opensuse 13.2. Works perfectly. The opposite-direction login is not possible, you know why - crashes, crashes… in LibQt5Gui or somewhere else.
Also for me that same environment is crashing way too much. Open source Nvidia drivers did not work at all, it was always a total desktop hang in about two minutes (mouse pointer did work but that was all). Closed source drivers work better but there are the crashes and non working VNC too.
Most annoying crash is one where all windows do disappear. I can see all my open programs in task manager but there seems to be no way to restore the windows. Also running (if alt-f2 happens to work at all) a new program does not work. Only thing that works is log off via secondary mouse button from desktop.
Then there are all kind of smaller crashes and annoyances. For example alt-space or alt-f2 do not work (run a program), command window does not appear. After some another crash system tray pop ups appear to left even when I am running system tray on the right. And so on, but only killers are that total crash and non working VNC.
I have been using VNC for years too and starting with Leap 42.1 it does not work any more. I NEED it!
I have no use for secondary desktop, I want to connect my real desktop. For that I have been using x11vnc in SSH tunnel. I connect to my computer via SSH, forward port 5900 and run x11vnc. After that I connect to local port 5900 with vncviewer (Linux, Windows, what ever) and get my real desktop.
Or did get, now I get totally garbled black screen or almost working screen. There is nothing to do but disconnect from the totally garbled black screen. The almost working screen is partially usable. Top left corner is garbled and so are all terminal windows but browsers do work. Or at least clicking links in browsers does work. I don’t know more because in that state VNC is not useful for me.
Real desktop (the one which I connect to) does not crash or get garbled. Problem is with the VNC connection and/or vncviewer.
I am already considering openSUSE 13.2 (I had 13.1 and made a clean installation of Leap). Help?
