Description Shubham Rao 2016-07-20 16:16:21 UTC
Unable to browse any folders. The message "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly." appears whenever trying to browse.

Launching dolphin through terminal shows this: 
> "The process for the trash protocol died unexpectedly."
> Trying to convert empty KLocalizedString to QString.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open dolphin (command line/launcher/other app)
2. Try to browse a location (through places menu)

Actual Results:  
The error message "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly."


Also noticing that searching from Application launcher is very sluggish/barely unusable. plasma-workspace crashed few times

Error was produced while navigating folders and expanding folders. Using the up, and back buttons, using the bar to navigate. I was not able to reproduce.

This happens when the ioslave process times out, for whatever reason.

Sounds like you have a generic workspace problem, not Dolphin specific. I suggest you get in contact with the Fedora support channels.
