SUMMARY
With "Remember Window Size" off, and a default session profile with a custom terminal size, konsole crashes on start-up.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn off "Remember Window Size" in Configure Konsole.
2. Make a session profile with larger than usual columns and rows, and make it the default session profile.
3. Close all other Konsole instances.
4. Start a new Konsole instance.
5. Enjoy crash message.

OBSERVED RESULT
Crash on start

EXPECTED RESULT
New konsole instance

Comment 1 sb 2021-08-13 20:25:53 UTC

I ran into the same problem after upgrading KDE Gear to 21.08.

To get Konsole to work again, you can edit ~/.config/konsolerc
and set 

[KonsoleWindow]
SaveGeometryOnExit=true

Comment 2 Marc Chester 2021-08-14 22:38:34 UTC

I've had the exact same start-up crash and narrowed it down to the same Remember Window Size option as well.

Comment 3 catwheezel 2021-08-15 05:20:27 UTC

Confirmed same problem on KDE neon. My konsole profile uses an initial size (102 x 26 rows), and konsole crashes immediately on start.

Comment 4 bastimeyer123 2021-08-15 12:10:31 UTC

Just ran into this issue after upgrading my Arch Linux system.
As already mentioned in the other replies, `SaveGeometryOnExit=true` fixed the issue:

sed -Ei 's/SaveGeometryOnExit=false/SaveGeometryOnExit=true/' "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}/konsolerc"

Here's the backtrace log which I was not able to submit via the KDE crash handler as "it didn't contain enough information", in case it matters:
