There’s a fix in upstream git for an issue in plasma-activities that could look like your crash.

I’ve backported the commit and built the packages with it here [1], could you give them a try and see if it fixes your issue ?

*Please* verify the changes file with :
    gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg --verify plasma-activities_6.5.0-3~pre0_amd64.changes
to check that it’s really signed with my key from the debian keyring and install with :
    sudo apt install ./plasma-activities_6.5.0-3~pre0_amd64.changes
to ensure the packages have not been tampered with.

If it works I’ll do a proper upload.


Happy hacking,
