Cannot log in to plasma desktop after crash, startplasma-x11 takes all the RAM

Dez 18 23:56:08 user-tuxedo systemd[1377]: pacnew-checker.path: Found dependency on pacnew-checker.path/start
Dez 18 23:56:08 user-tuxedo systemd[1377]: pacnew-checker.path: Job paths.target/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with pacnew-checker.path/start

These seem problematic.

Please check removing/disabling the pacnew checker one and also review xdg-user-dirs-update

Example mine;

$ systemctl --user status xdg-user-dirs-update.service 
○ xdg-user-dirs-update.service - Update XDG user dir configuration

Dec 18 16:35:10 HOST systemd[1114]: Finished Update XDG user dir configuration.

Another thought may be some odd foreign package replacing system base packages.
Check ‘foreign’ with

pacman -Qm

And probably unrelated but heres printing pacnews if any exist

pacdiff -o

PS.
You have no swap, so lockups are expected when you run out of RAM unless you have an OOM-killer or similar.
Setting up SWAP may mitigate the issue, and may be a good idea in general … though of course the runaway process is still a problem that needs to be resolved.

Takakage · 19 December 2023 01:51

A wise man once suggested

A random shot in the dark: did you have Plasma set to restore the previous session?

varikonniemi · 19 December 2023 02:09

having plasma set to restore a large appimage program that results in OOM could be a good way to get into this problem.

(unless plasma has some sane safeguards like: after unclean shutdown restore clean session)

Addressed, thanks for the tip! However, startplasma-x11 took all of that too, how nice

cscs · 19 December 2023 23:52

Make sure to try empty session and/or new user.
(if it does not affect the new user we know it is not a system-wide issue)

rockingcat · 20 December 2023 00:00

I will try it, thanks.
But first I’ll try your advice with the configs from another topic.

Thanks @Takakage for pointing to that one.

rockingcat · 20 December 2023 00:10

Should not be the case. I mean, I don’t know where to check it except for graphical interface.

I’ve also deleted the AppImage that caused the crash, so I’m not sure anymore what it loads my system with;)

Yeah, I very doubt it:)

rockingcat · 20 December 2023 19:52

Eem, running kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental resulted in a memory leak
Does it tell us something?

htop

Yochanan · 20 December 2023 21:48

What AppImage? All AppImageLauncher does is assist in integrating an AppImage into the system, so that’s not related.

What’s the output running the AppImage? It’s either in your ~/Downloads/ folder or ~/Applications/ if you chose to integrate it into the system with AppImageLauncher.

chmod +x name-of-AppImage.AppImage # if necessary, AppImageLauncher should have already done that
./name-of-AppImage.AppImage

rockingcat · 20 December 2023 22:23

I’ve already removed it completely from the system.
It was UltiMaker Cura app.

Yochanan · 20 December 2023 23:05

Ah, well. Problem solved then, eh?

rockingcat · 21 December 2023 08:06

Nope I still cannot log in to desktop, even after I removed the AppImage.
The process startplasma-x11 just freezes and takes up all the memory. The same happens when I run kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental from tty.

cscs · 21 December 2023 08:47

Yeah, but probably not on a new user ?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa · 22 December 2023 23:03

Had the same issue, but can confirm that the issue didn’t occur on other/new user accounts…

rockingcat · 24 December 2023 13:06

Yes, with a new user I’m able to log in.

Have you been able to solve the issue?

brahma · 24 December 2023 13:14

if renaming the cache and confgi folder didnt helped, try renaming these folders in: home/.local/share:
kscreen to kscreen.bak
plasma to plasma.bak
sddm to sddm.bak
reboot and see if it helped…

cscs · 24 December 2023 13:20

Can you also maybe check for any remnants of things in

ls ~/.{config/autostart,local/share/applications}

rockingcat · 24 December 2023 14:02

Tried renaming the .config, and .cache, and the folders you mentioned, but no luck unfortunately…

Yes, nothing seems unusual:

ls ~/.{config/autostart,local/share/applications}

brahma · 24 December 2023 15:14

use startx instead of startplasma-x11 and post the output of the logs…
also you have optimus manager installed, and that could be the reason too… maybe uninstalling it + its configs, could help…

rockingcat · 24 December 2023 15:56

How to use startx instead of startplasma-x11?
I mean, startplasma-x11 starts automatically when I log in with sddm.
