[SOLVED]Select Icon Dialog crashes in Mageia 7 Beta 1

Postby banjo » Dec 16th, '18, 17:42

I am running a newly installed Mageia 7 Beta 1. When I attempt to change the icon in a .desktop file, Plasma crashes.

This happens in all of my Desktop shortcuts. To reproduce, I right click any Desktop shortcut and choose Properties from the context menu. Then, in the Properties dialog, click on the icon square. Plasma appears to crash. This does not happen in my Mageia 6 installation on the same computer.

On Mageia 6, the "Select Icon - Plasma" dialog is posted with a browser to select the icon. See attached image.

This dialog should appear.

On Mageia 7 Beta 1, the screen goes black for a second and then the desktop is restored.

Has anyone else seen this? Is this a known bug, or should I post something on bugzilla?

Below is my Mageia 6 information.

This appears to be working now, so it looks like somebody released a fix in one of the recent updates.

Or maybe it was a graphics card driver issue. I just switched my system from the nouveau open driver to the Nvidia proprietary driver. I don't know for sure because my system was down for a few days after I messed it up doing the driver switch.
