@pujithadimuthu apologies but I need to ask for some more info for a developer on IRC (#openmandriva-cooker). Could you install the new package âplasma-workspace-debuginfoâ from this repo:
and be sure your system is otherwise up to date and then run the gdb on most recent plasmashell crash and run âbtâ like you did in your most recent post but with the new packages. Sorry about all this but Iâm trying to be a âmiddle manâ. If you wish do interact directly with that developer it is @fedya currently heâs using fdrt as handle @ #openmandriva-cooker. I can assure @fedya is very much more knowledgeable than I am.
Edit: @pujithadimuthu after updating your system you should have these or most of these packages in version 5.10.5-3:
I have all except âlib64plasma-workspace-develâ which wonât install because âThe following packages canât be installed because they depend on packages that are older than the installed onesâ. And no Iâm not sure why we need some of them, I just followed @fedyaâs instructions.

Looks like you have âplasma-workspace-debuginfoâ and associated packages. So now just need to run on most recent core dump of /usr/bin/plasmashell:

So we canât get a useful backtrace. @Colin suggested that maybe you would get a backtrace if you installed nVidia proprietary driver? That is up to you.
Also have you tried this? This is only useful if you donât use samba. But even if you do it may be something to try to help find cause of issue.
