Configuring panels and widgets (plasmashell) crashes the UI

[ldorigo]

Hi,

Asking here as you may have experienced something similar: when I edit panels (the "menu bar" on the top or bottom of the screen, with the system tray etc.), the interface is very buggy, and if I click "Add Widgets" it usually crashes entirely. Any idea what I can do to fix that?

Thanks for the tutorial, other than a few minor quirks I'm really happy with it.

Hi,
@ldorigo did you find any solution to this cause I'm also facing the same issue.

No, but see my question on reddit for a little more information: https://old.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/lmhcy1/i3_plasma_add_widgets_crashes_plasma/

I don't think that there is a fix for this bug. The easiest solution is login into a regular plans session -> adding: editing widgets -> switch back to plasma+i3
