When does it crash? Startup? Hi Harald, Yeah, whenever I try to start the application it keeps crashing. It also shows the same behavior if I try to restart filelight. It reads and sounds a lot like your QML cache has gone off the rails. If you move ~/.cache out of the way does filelight start? I'm not sure I can remove the .cache folder, as there's a lot of stuff there. I did find this path for qml: /home/aamm19/.cache/krunner/qmlcache/ Should I remove that one and give it another go? I said move it out of the way not remove it. After testing you can move it back Okay, that was a misunderstanding on my part. i renamed the .cache folder to backup.cache, re-executed filelight and it's working properly now. If you want to keep your cache (shouldn't really be necessary) then you'll need to find the qmlcache file related to the crash, or just remove all of them you can find - there may also be some in Qt related folders. The bug here is probably somewhere deep in Qt, I'd ask you to file an upstream bug report but realistically I don't see that progressing very far without being reproducible on Qt 6 :( Thanks for the help so far Harald, I found and deleted the qmlcache on /home/user/.cache/KDE/filelight/ and filelight and it is working properly now. As for how reproductibe this might be on Qt6, I can't say for sure, given that I don't know what was the source of the issue itself either :( I'll just leave this post for future references for whoever needs it. Thank you! |
