Created attachment 862964 [details]
debug info generated by kde appl to report a KDE crash

Hello, 

On Nov-13-2022 after I activated the app style bb10dark via systemsettins5, 
any attempt to use systemsettings5, krusader, open edit sessions ended up in
the same crash ....

I followed tha steps of reporting the crash to kde, and the bug 461797 was
open.

A couple of days later I got KDE's Nate Graham  resolution : 
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nate Graham 2022-11-14 15:58:43 CST

This is a downstream issue in the style itself, which is not a KDE thing. It's
a sad fact of life that Application Styles can crash apps, because they're c++
code.
----------------------------------------------------------------

So I try it solved by opensuse support team[s] :


Please find below :  

1) what I opened with kdebugs  [ ONE ]

2) a shortcut I discovered to set up another app style [ TWO ]

3) some issues with compositor/OpenGL [ THREE ]

4) the attachment with debug info 

......

[  ONE  ]
===========
After setting the  KDE style to bb10dark via  systemsettings5  any attempt to
use systemsettings5, krusader  ended with a crash . 
The  systemsetting5 crash  produces the message :
executable systemsettings .... Signal Floating point exception(8) .

I selected  to report the crash  but the submit step failed ...
Error sending the crash report   https://bugs.kde.org/rest?tocken = 178682 .

I was able to save the report into a file [ using PCManFM ]  that will be
attached .

Please note that prior of that style change the system has worked fine .



***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug

[ TWO ]
=========  

Then I tried a shortcut ......
A)
reboot 
at login time  selected GNOME on Xorg  
and login as usual ......

B)
while in GNOME  I tried to see what happens if systemsettings5 is started .....
VOILA 
systemsettings5 started fine 
I changed bb10dark to awaita dark
then shutdown 

C) 
at login  change GNOME  to Plasma(X11)
login .... and everything is working fine .

Should you have any comments/requests please let me know .

Thank you,

Nick

[ THREE ]
===========

Recently I noticed a very interesting info about kwin 
systemsettings5 --> Display Configuration --> Compositor 

OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past.
This was most likely due to a driver bug.
If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver,
you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an
immediate crash!
                                                         box [Re-enable OpenGL
detection]
Compositing    [ ]  Enable on startup 
               [X]  Allow applications to block compositing 

===========================================================               

Thank you 

Nick
