Since a few weeks I have random freezes where the whole plasmashell becomes unusable (all panels freeze, super key does nothing, ALT+TAB still works somehow).
Doing a killall plasmashell won’t work, I have to kill it with -9. After killing it, it will try to restart and it does so without any panels, still no super key functions and a unusable desktop background.
I have had this issue since Nvidia Stable driver 555, now on 560 as well. But it did not appear with the 555 driver, it suddenly appeared way after upgrading.
I have tried resetting all customization and switching to default Breeze global theme and it froze again not even 5 minutes later. I had to restart the PC as it would not appear again, even after a re-login.
Versions:
Fedora 40
kwin 6.1.4
plasmashell 6.1.4
I have the following logs, in which I could not find any fatal errors:
Log shortly after freeze:
