SUMMARY I installed Elisa from both Manjaro's official repo and flatpak repo. It behaves same when I launch it. When I launch Elisa followings are happening. > It launches successfully > Appears for a while > After a short while it disappears by itself without an explicit crash message. Then I tried to launch it from bash. It performed the same behaviour while was leaving this log message so many times: "Qt Quick Layouts: Polish loop detected. Aborting after two iterations." then finally it disappears by leaving a famous "Segmantation fault (core dumped)" message on the treminal screen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Just launch it. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Crash without an explicit crash message. EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro 20 KDE (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please let me know if it needed some more information that has to do with this matter.
Can you attach a backtrace for the crash? https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Crash_reports_must_include_backtraces
I am now trying to generate a backtrace.
When I try to generate a backtrace with GDB it doesn't produce a file but only console logs. I have drkonqi installed in the system but this crash doesn't trigger it. What should I do now?

Thanks. However I'm afraid the crash report is useless because it doesn't have debug symbols because you're using Manjaro which is an Arch-based distro and Arch-based distros don't ship debug symbols. Here are some instructions regarding how to remedy this so that you can produce useful backtraces: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces
Sorry for that. I followed the instructions of gdb from the same page you stated under Getting the trace section. But I think that maybe I missed some step while I was doing it. Do you mind if I ask for you to write an example to generate a backtrace with debug symbols using gdb?
You need to rebuild the package with debug symbols. The link I send should explain how, but I can't offer any further assistance as I'm not an Arch user and I'm not personally familiar with the process, sorry.
Created attachment 132890 [details] Another try of backtrace I see, that's ok. How about this trace? If it is useless as well, I cannot go further because I don't know how to do it exactly. Please check it out then this issue can be closed because of the lack of information.
Not useful, sorry. This is my biggest frustration with arch-based distros! :( Arch users provide great QA, but the lack of debug symbols makes their crash logs useless most of the time.

I understand that you may dislike the fact that we don't provide debug symbols, but please don't blame us even when it's not our fault. The first backtrace is just truncated and missing the important threads. And the second time the OP didn't even print the backtrace.
