Bug 468784

If something crashed, we need a backtrace of it so we can figure out what's going on; the bug report isn't actionable without that, since Elisa doesn't crash on launch for me. The wizard may have flagged the backtrace for not having debug symbols; you might need to enable a debug repo in Kubuntu to make them available.

After doing that, can you please attach a backtrace of the crash using the `coredumpctl` command-line program, as detailed in https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl?

Thanks!

Do you know where to get the files with debug info for these files:

The relevant ones will all be in the debug package for Elisa. It could be named something like elisa-debug or elisa-dbg or elisa-debugsym or something like that. Sorry, I'm not super familiar with how it's done on Ubuntu-based distros.

I attempted to follow the `coredumpctl` link you mentioned (this needs to re-written to show what actually happens - some prompts not included) is this the info you need:
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Hi there,

unfortunately I have the same problem. I upgraded my system from Kubuntu 22.10 to 23.04 last night.
After this upgrade elisa does not start anymore.

after reading my own crash report:
-> my problem could be solved by reinstalling the vlc package

And sure enough you are correct, thank you.

And on top of that it now even has some functionality I did not realise it possessed, my artist listing now has album icons.

If reinstalling the VLC lib fixes the issue, this seems like a Kubuntu packaging bug. I'd recommend you contact the Kubuntu folks about it.
