Network connections icons sometimes huge after plasma-desktop crash

Posted on

Hi all,

I am running RHEL 6.5 x86-64 with KDE.

Sometimes after booting my laptop, I notice that the network connections icon is either blank or flickering. When I click on it, the icons it presents are huge as shown in the attached .png.

This also seems to be coupled with a crash that occurs just after login to KDE:

Process /usr/bin/plasma-desktop was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

Package:
kdebase-workspace-4.3.4-24.el6

The backtrace below does seem to indicate that an applet is involved.

Often this doesn't happen i.e. no crash after login and the network connections icon is there and the icons are normal when I click on it so this sporadic.

Note that gdb said: "Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install kdebase-workspace-4.3.4-24.el6.x86_64". I ran that but go the following:
"No debuginfo packages available to install"

What can I do here?

Many thanks!
