Created attachment 124540 [details] coredump when closing Kate SUMMARY I've set up a minimal desktop on Centos 8 / Epel 8 with konsole, kate and dolphin using the following commands: sudo yum install xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-drv-libinput xterm xorg-x11-xinit epel-release dbus-x11 sudo yum install openbox konsole kate dolphin The apps are working fine (really liking them) but when I exit Kate, I see a SEGFAULT in the system log. BTW, a SEGFAULT also occurs in file.so when closing Dolphin (sometimes multiple file.so crash). Konsole seems ok. A similar installation on Ubuntu Eoan is ok so it is possibly a packaging/dependency problem in Epel 8. The reason I have raised a bug report is the IP value of 0 suggests that file.so is assuming the existence of something and perhaps the code could be more robust if a check were added. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kate 2. Close Kate OBSERVED RESULT System log: Dec 17 17:38:29 TEW13814 kernel: file.so[2775]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000000000 sp 00007ffdab1dc1d8 error 14 in kdeinit5[55ce3f8a2000+d000] Dec 17 17:38:29 TEW13814 kernel: Code: Bad RIP value.

Sorry for the noise if this is not a bug. Happy to write up a bug for Dolphin if needed. Or help in some other way, I have sysadmin and Java coding skills, a little bit of C. Thanks for the apps.
Possibly related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1746465 Version of kf5-kio matches Epel 8. Eoan is running a later version which fits with it working. Can't find an earlier version to revert to on Epel 8 - looking for another way to confirm.
Since this is likely resolved by now, please update to 19.08.x or even 19.12 if you can. In case you still encounter this issue then, please let us know.
Thank you. By way of trying an earlier version, I loaded the Fedora 28 (Kate/Dolphin 17.12.2-2) rpm's with Centos8. They worked ok. Battery life with the Centos8 kernel is not great so I've installed the latest Fedora (v31) instead which includes Kate/Dolphin 19.08.2. They are also working fine with my Openbox setup. Happy to close this one. Can I do that or do you have to ?
Thanks for letting us know!
