Description Matias L 2022-02-03 10:50:00 UTC
Application: okular (21.08.1)

Qt Version: 5.15.2
Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Operating System: Linux 5.13.0-27-generic x86_64
Windowing System: X11
Drkonqi Version: 5.22.5
Distribution: Ubuntu 21.10

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

I  am having problems with the printers on my computer, where it crashes when trying to do something related with them.

e.g.: 
* libreoffice crashes on startup, I have to disable cups previously every time
* when trying to open the "Print" dialog on Okular, I also get a crash.
* `lpstat -p -d` crashes with the following error:

"dbus[794440]: arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)" failed in file ../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 2760.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
[1]    794440 IOT instruction (core dumped)  lpstat -p -d"

This is the same type of crash info that I get from okular and libreoffice.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Okular (okular), signal: Aborted

Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2022-02-03 13:30:34 UTC
It very much sounds like your installation of cups/dbus is broken, not something that Okular can help you with. I'd suggest to visit some help forum (possibily ubuntu related) and ask there.
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2022-02-03 22:42:29 UTC
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432740 shows a similar backtrace, which suggests the issue might be with Qt's printing code

I'm 92% sure it's a local setup problem, Qt is calling cupsGetDests2 and that "can't crash". 

If it's crashing is because something is not well setup in the system or is there something in that stack that needs recompiling because of an ABI/API break .
