plasmashell crashes

Unfortunately I remember that too (which of course mean that we both are older than 50...)
Yes, yes it does. I will go a step further and state that I was born in a world that did not have Star Trek, where man had not landed on the Moon, and before the internet... :D

My mother says that I watched the moon landing... sitting on a table in our old living room ( I still live in the same house actually). I was about five months or at the time and unfortunately I cannot remember anything.
 
Success. After trying lots of various settings and configurations, I finally got my system (Thinkpad E540, with Intel graphics), to stop freezing the display after dimming the screen.

To get the FreeBSD kernel power management to stop fighting with the KDE power management settings, I added the following to
/boot/loader.conf

# Disables deep power saving that crashes the X11 driver
compat.linuxkpi.i915_enable_dc=0

# Forces the GPU to stay awake
compat.linuxkpi.i915_enable_rc6=0

Now the power management in the KDE settings works without conflict from the kernel. Its been 24 hours and no freeze ups. Not a fix really, more of a workaround. The underlying issue still needs to be fixed. Thanks for putting in a bug report Vulcan. 👍

Nice. Does this survive a few suspend/resume cycles? Did you try only X11/Wayland or both?
 
Implemented. Hopefully between your loader.conf updates, the link to this thread, and the the core files I posted in the report, it will be enough for the devs to nail down a permanent fix...

Off to reboot.

Well, not so fast.....I'm having some other kind of sleep resume issue. Mouse and keyboard unresponsive after overnight with lid closed. Must be some more kernel power management configs I don't know about. When screen is frozen, kwin is still the process that is stuck....unable to kill it. I'm going to stop using KDE until this screen lockup bug is fixed.

That is what I am getting. The trackball can still scroll around the screen, but trackball button clicks and keyboard are gone, focus does not work. Restarting sddm or slim resets plasmashell (which dumps core along with drkonqi).

Hopefully, the devs will start acting on that bug report that I submitted. Because I'd just as soon not switch off of KDE, since I have been running it since about 2003...

Yeah I know what you mean. Aside from the current problem I'm having, KDE Plasma 6 is the whip!
