I did use full name as in system info because I thought that this will give precise information what I am running

Not everyone is running KDE Plasma5, and only a few of those will look at the graphical System Info screen to determine their Slackware version... if you are running Slackware-current, you know, and you would mention "Slackware-current 64bit" or "Slackware64-current". That is what everybody understands.

I noticed in the screenshot that you are running a non-current kernel. Slackware-current's kernels are in the 4.19.x range while you are running one that's suited for Slackware 14.2. Please also upgrade your kernel to one that matches slackware-current's version.

this is my backup kernel that I am running while updating to the latest verion of the kernel.

I run 4.14.x, 4.19.x and 5.3.x kernels with your Plasma, I did not notice any effecto on Plasma5.

also about icu4c-compat:

I hope that this will clarify compatibility software installed on my laptop.

Marked as SOLVED too early.
Ok plasma is still crashing:

Executable: plasmashell PID: 6,288 Signal: Segmentation fault (11) Time:10/22/19 13:36:00

icu4c-compat is installed (see my previous post).

evidently a bug.
While I don't care about krita (https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-a-4175662778/

it would be nice to see this one fixed.
Should I report this to kde devs?

thank you
