Kactivitymanagerd crashing constantly plasma 5.27.9

gabeapp · May 11, 2024, 4:33am

Hello all,

I’m new to the OpenSUSE distro, especially with a Desktop environment.

i have been experiencing very odd behavior and have run out of options with google and reading the logs. I’m at a dead end and need assistance from more knowledgeable OpenSUSE users

the symptoms are:

everytime i log in it crashes.
everytime i open a window it crashes.
everytime i close a window… you guessed it, it crashes.

I’m not sure what happened but i think this started when i removed QT Creator? but i cant say that with 100% confidence since the issue has been ongoing for quite sometime.

this is what i have tried:
this post and deleted all the database files. issue persists the fiels do not get recreated either

Output Does not make alot of sense because it says the QSQLITE driver is not loaded but its available??

journalctl | grep kactivitymanager

i then tried to remove kde and reinstall (one of the following I can’t remember which ones worked but just to give you an idea of what i have tried already. i just went through history command)

zypper remove kde_plasma
zypper rm -u patterns-kde-kde
zypper rm -u kde
zypper install -t pattern kde kde_plasma

force reinstall kactivitymanagerd

zypper in -f kactivitymanagerd kactivities5-imports

force reinstall libQtSql5-qlite

zypper in -f libQt5Sql5-sqlite

Distro upgrade

zypper dup

Issue also persists with a new user account aswell

now I am here and it still crashes constantly… any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

EDIT
When it does crash, i do get the Dr. Konqi message at the bottom right, i click report bug but i cant view the contents of what is being submitted. i was able to a few times but couldnt save the output anywhere

I have never run into a problem with “kactivitymanager”.

Reinstalling is not likely to help.

Try creating new user on your system. And then see if this still happens with the new user.

This is to test whether the problem might be due to user settings, user cache, etc.

Hello, thank you for the quick reply.

so I created 2 new users, a standard type and a Administrator type.
The issue happens on both new account types

after i checked if the files got created for the new users but they did not.

I was able to save the kcrash dump file aswell
