Created attachment 117276 [details] discover output in konsole SUMMARY I ran plasma-discover & in konsole to get the error messages as discover 5.14.4 had crashed twice in the same way when I clicked on the Checking for updates button in the lower left. discover crashed and drkonqi appeared. I'll attach the error message output. About 50 notifications of Searching for file... appeared in the plasma notifications widget. Each file found by those searches appeared to be a package name. Some example names started with plasma-, qt5-, fedora-. Other notifications included two Resolving... and one Refreshing package cache... which showed package names starting with NetworkManager- The following is the trace of just the crashing thread because the comment length limit is exceeded with the full trace of all threads. -- Backtrace: Application: Discover (plasma-discover), signal: Segmentation fault Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

OBSERVED RESULT discover crashed when checking for updates EXPECTED RESULT discover checks for updates without crashing SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 29 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0 Qt Version: 5.11.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The crashes were segmentation faults apparently in QHttpNetworkConnectionChannel::sendRequest() at access/qhttpnetworkconnectionchannel.cpp:251 bug 401825 also involves a crash at that line with a similar trace though the way in which that crash occurred was different.
Created attachment 117277 [details] full trace of all threads for discover crash
I ran valgrind --leak-check=no --log-file=valgrind-discover-5.14.5-1.txt plasma-discover & The valgrind output following the crash showed an invalid read of size 4 in QHttpNetworkConnectionChannel::sendRequest() at qhttpnetworkconnectionchannel.cpp:251 like in the trace of the crashing thread. The line "Address 0x0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd" likely means a null pointer is involved and might be dereferenced leading to the segmentation fault. ==5133== Thread 9

[Switching to Thread 0xa296ab40 (LWP 5956)] 0xa335e55f in _gpgme_debug_buffer (lvl=7, fmt=0xa3365b11 "%s: check: %s", func=0xa3367b97 "_gpgme_io_read", buffer=0xa2969afc "", len=4294967295) at debug.c:393 393 val = buffer[idx++]; I noticed discover output various errors for firefox, kde, gnome flatpak remotes I had added months ago using the flatpak cli. I removed the firefox, kde, gnome flatpak remotes in groups one at a time using flatpak remote-delete, but the same segmentation faults occurred though the error messages of the removed remotes no longer were shown. I removed the flathub remote which was the last remote I had added using the cli. After removing the flathub remote, the segmentation faults and crashes haven't occurred when I clicked on Checking for updates which showed that no updates were available. The segmentation faults seemed to be when checking for flatpak remote information. Something might have changed with the flatpak remotes or backend that triggered the crashes with the configuration I had. I added the flathub remote again in the settings part of discover, and discover didn't crash though the checking for updates didn't seem to finish.
I'm having a similar crash, every time I start Discover if there are any updates available.

Created attachment 149382 [details] This is how I know its time to open the console and run 'sudo flatpak update' This has been a very consistent crash across so many versions.
A variety of Flatpak crashes should be fixed in 5.25. If you're still experiencing any, please file a new bug report. Thanks!
