Sentry Crash Report:

Description Gaurish 2009-11-21 11:37:03 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

Application that crashed: dolphin
Version of the application: 1.3
KDE Version: 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3)
Qt Version: 4.5.3
Operating System: Linux 2.6.31-ARCH
Distribution: "ArchLinux x86_64"

What I was doing when the application crashed:
this mostly happens when dolphin is interacting with other external programs
while doing tasks like
* Extracting a Archive
* Opening Images in Gwenview
* Opening Videos in Smplayer etc.

these crashes are random, so I am able not to reproduce them.I am irritated by
these crashes.Therefore, I need
your help.

Backtrace:
Application: Dolphin (dolphin), signal: Segmentation fault

Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-11-21 14:15:55 UTC 
- Do you have Nepomuk/Desktop Search enabled ? If it is, try disabling it (on SystemSettings/Advanced tab/Desktop Search)
We are tracking this issue at bug 208921 and seems to be related to Nepomuk...
- Does it crashes all the times with one of the situations you mentioned, with some special file ?, does those files have some special attribute, may be some tagging, comments or rating from Nepomuk ?  (we are looking for a testcase in order to reproduce the crash and fix it)
Regards

SystemSettings/Advanced tab/Desktop Search)


Yes, I had it enabled. As this is the default setting. now disabled, lets see that improves stability.


Regarding reproducing the crash, there is no success yet. Its all random and I can't find any fixed pattern which leads to SEGFAULTS.
