Wolfgang, Please disregard my last comments. It has nothing to do with the ksmserver. I just installed Build 330 using a USB thumb drive. Once I finished installing Leap 42.3 the system booted up to my plasma workspace. I deleted the "Default openSUSE panel", then right-clicked on the screen and selected to add the openSUSE panel back again. I checked dmesg first. It shows: plasmashell invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x1400840(GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL), nodemask=0, order=0, oom_score_adj=0 [ 209.645176] plasmashell cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0 [ 209.645180] CPU: 3 PID: 2641 Comm: plasmashell Tainted: G W O 4.4.76-1-default #1 [ 209.645181] Hardware name: System manufacturer P5Q/P5Q, BIOS 2209 03/11/2010 [ 209.645190] 0000000000000000 ffffffff81339d97 ffff880216d37508 0000000000000000 [ 209.645194] ffffffff8120b90e 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffff811491fa [ 209.645197] 0000000000000002 0000000001320122 ffff88023ffd21e0 0000000000000206 [ 209.645199] Call Trace: [ 209.645213] [<ffffffff81019f29>] dump_trace+0x59/0x320 [ 209.645218] [<ffffffff8101a2ea>] show_stack_log_lvl+0xfa/0x180 [ 209.645221] [<ffffffff8101b091>] show_stack+0x21/0x40 [ 209.645224] [<ffffffff81339d97>] dump_stack+0x5c/0x85 [ 209.645234] [<ffffffff8120b90e>] dump_header+0x82/0x231 [ 209.645240] [<ffffffff811991f2>] oom_kill_process+0x222/0x410 [ 209.645247] [<ffffffff811998d8>] out_of_memory+0x4a8/0x4c0 [ 209.645254] [<ffffffff8119dfd8>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xa48/0xbc0 [ 209.645260] [<ffffffff811e6d4f>] alloc_pages_current+0x7f/0x100 [ 209.645264] [<ffffffff81196480>] pagecache_get_page+0x50/0x1c0 [ 209.645305] [<ffffffffa0511a02>] alloc_extent_buffer+0x112/0x3a0 [btrfs] [ 209.645330] [<ffffffffa04e443b>] read_tree_block+0x1b/0x50 [btrfs] [ 209.645347] [<ffffffffa04c22d5>] read_block_for_search.isra.32+0x125/0x320 [btrfs] [ 209.645370] [<ffffffffa04c43ec>] btrfs_search_slot+0x3ac/0x970 [btrfs] [ 209.645389] [<ffffffffa04de3de>] btrfs_lookup_csum+0x3e/0x130 [btrfs] [ 209.645412] [<ffffffffa04de6c8>] __btrfs_lookup_bio_sums.isra.7+0x1f8/0x530 [btrfs] [ 209.645430] [<ffffffffa04dec52>] btrfs_lookup_bio_sums+0x32/0x40 [btrfs] [ 209.645449] [<ffffffffa04efbf0>] btrfs_submit_bio_hook+0xa0/0x190 [btrfs] [ 209.645471] [<ffffffffa050b037>] submit_one_bio+0x67/0x90 [btrfs] [ 209.645492] [<ffffffffa050e974>] submit_extent_page.isra.42+0x134/0x290 [btrfs] [ 209.645513] [<ffffffffa050f898>] __do_readpage+0x2c8/0x960 [btrfs] [ 209.645533] [<ffffffffa0510334>] __extent_readpages.constprop.46+0x304/0x330 [btrfs] [ 209.645554] [<ffffffffa05112f6>] extent_readpages+0x156/0x1a0 [btrfs] [ 209.645560] [<ffffffff811a2a1d>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x18d/0x210 [ 209.645563] [<ffffffff81197efb>] filemap_fault+0x38b/0x450 [ 209.645570] [<ffffffff811c1941>] __do_fault+0x61/0xe0 [ 209.645573] [<ffffffff811c4bb1>] handle_pte_fault+0x781/0x1530 [ 209.645582] [<ffffffff811c6d7f>] handle_mm_fault+0x2df/0x630 [ 209.645587] [<ffffffff8106794f>] __do_page_fault+0x23f/0x4e0 [ 209.645592] [<ffffffff81067c1b>] do_page_fault+0x2b/0x70 [ 209.645597] [<ffffffff81632808>] page_fault+0x28/0x30 [ 209.647420] DWARF2 unwinder stuck at page_fault+0x28/0x30 [ 209.647421] Leftover inexact backtrace: I have uploaded dmesg for you to peruse.
