Bug ID: 358789
Summary: Plasmashell hangs and uses up CPU when I try to launch
any application
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.4.2
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: wodenc...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
I've had this problem for awhile now that has made the Plasma environment
unusable for me.
Whenever I log into Plasma and try to launch an application from the start
menu, Plasma (and the whole desktop, except for the mouse) completely hang, and
never un-hang.
>From the tty, looking at process monitor shows plasmashell using up 100% CPU of
a thread.
Here is the stack trace from the process, as retrieved by dgb (looks like I am
missing some debug symbols but not sure which package I need to install):

Here's some background info:
Ubuntu Unity environment works ok, using sddm (Plasma fails using sddm)
Using latest NVidia 358.16 Unix driver from the official NVidia site.

DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=wily
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 15.10"
I've tried deleting the .kde, .cache and .config folders as well and that also
did not fix the problem.
Is there any other info you need from me, or do you guys have any idea why I am
experiencing this problem?
