New crash information added by DrKonqi

systemsettings5 (5.19.2) using Qt 5.15.0

- What I was doing when the application crashed:

There are two ways I can trigger this crash: opening the "Default Applications" module directly from KRunner, or opening System Settings and navigating to "Default Applications".

I currently have Firefox installed. I also had elinks installed originally, but even after uninstalling elinks, the crash still happens.

I recompiled kservice and plasma-desktop from sources (using the same build scripts as the distribution's packages) in order to get useful backtrace information. The crash happened both before and after this, in an identical manner.

Wait, I messed up the debug package installation. Here's a better version of the stop of the backtrace:

Comment 3 Alexander Lohnau 2020-06-27 12:01:54 UTC
What file managers do you have installed?
Comment 4 Alex Merry 2020-06-27 12:11:46 UTC
None - I've been looking through the code and come to the conclusion that was the cause. The fix is trivial - I'll submit a patch shortly.
Comment 5 Bug Janitor Service 2020-06-27 12:22:03 UTC
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/49
Comment 6 Jason Cox 2020-06-27 14:07:13 UTC
I also have no file manager installed, so it's likely the same cause for me.

Fix a KCM crash when no file manager is installed

If no file manager is installed, the componentchooser KCM would attempt
to dereference a null pointer.
