Description Keren Sky 2016-03-31 00:04:05 UTC
Application: khelpcenter (5.6.1)

Qt Version: 5.5.1
Frameworks Version: 5.20.0
Operating System: FreeBSD 10.3-PRERELEASE amd64
Distribution (Platform): FreeBSD Ports

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed: 
I clicked Module help in KInfoCentre. The crash window appeared.

- Unusual behavior I noticed: 
Firefox crashes within a few monents if launched under the plasma5 desktop. Not so if launched under LXDE. 

- Custom settings of the application: 
Desktop is launched via 'xinit startkde'.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KDE Help Center (khelpcenter), signal: Bus error

It looks like it crashes deep in Qt; considering the crash also for Firefox, my guess is that there's something else going on.

Can you please install debug symbols for Qt and khelpcenter, and run it under gdb?
Adriaan, Raphael, can you please take a look?
Comment 2 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2016-04-03 13:24:26 UTC
Keren: can you rebuild sysutils/plasma5-khelpcenter and devel/qt5-core with WITH_DEBUG=yes? The provided backtrace does not contain enough information about where the crash came from.

Hi,
OK, will do so later today. Cheers.

After two years without news, I suspect that the issue is gone. Feel free to reopen if you still see it.
