SUMMARY With "Remember Window Size" off, and a default session profile with a custom terminal size, konsole crashes on start-up. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Turn off "Remember Window Size" in Configure Konsole. 2. Make a session profile with larger than usual columns and rows, and make it the default session profile. 3. Close all other Konsole instances. 4. Start a new Konsole instance. 5. Enjoy crash message. OBSERVED RESULT Crash on start EXPECTED RESULT New konsole instance SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel: 5.13.9 64 bit (Zen) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I ran into the same problem after upgrading KDE Gear to 21.08. To get Konsole to work again, you can edit ~/.config/konsolerc and set [KonsoleWindow] SaveGeometryOnExit=true Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.13.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
I've had the exact same start-up crash and narrowed it down to the same Remember Window Size option as well. Operating System: KDE Neon 5.22 User Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.11.0-25-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
Confirmed same problem on KDE neon. My konsole profile uses an initial size (102 x 26 rows), and konsole crashes immediately on start. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel: 5.11.0-26-lowlatency (Ubuntu) CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Just ran into this issue after upgrading my Arch Linux system. As already mentioned in the other replies, `SaveGeometryOnExit=true` fixed the issue: sed -Ei 's/SaveGeometryOnExit=false/SaveGeometryOnExit=true/' "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}/konsolerc" Here's the backtrace log which I was not able to submit via the KDE crash handler as "it didn't contain enough information", in case it matters: Application: Konsole (konsole), signal: Segmentation fault [KCrash Handler] #4 0x00007ff8d43e8f21 in QWindow::winId() const () from /usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5 #5 0x00007ff8d366ee32 in KWindowEffects::enableBlurBehind(QWindow*, bool, QRegion const&) () from /usr/lib/libKF5WindowSystem.so.5 #6 0x00007ff8d534ade7 in Konsole::MainWindow::setBlur(bool) () from /usr/lib/libkonsoleapp.so.21 #7 0x00007ff8d534e55c in Konsole::MainWindow::activeViewChanged(Konsole::SessionController*) () from /usr/lib/libkonsoleapp.so.21 #8 0x00007ff8d3f8b75b in ??
