kwin_wayland crashes randomly

hello I have a problem where my desktop crashes randomly sometimes I might be recording with OBS or like today I might be switching between apps with `latte-dock-git` it happens randomly and I haven't been able to pin point the root cause.
any help with this would be appreciated

Thanks Ozzy

Re: kwin_wayland crashes randomly

If you want help with crashes you need to post a backtrace.

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know how to do that but I am looking into how to do that

Re: kwin_wayland crashes randomly

its difficult to reproduce the crash I'll just be doing something when without warning my screen goes black and my desktop will come back but all my apps close similar to what happens when you run kwin_wayland --replace &! in the terminal I don't know what is causing it so I can't reproduce it on command I also don't know what debugger I would use to debug kwin

I suspect I caused it by reinstalling KDE incorrectly I was missing some packages that might have been causing issues regardless I feel this problem is self inflected so I am going to request this thread be closed sorry to waste anyone's time
