SUMMARY Kstars do not work under Kubuntu 22.04 with kubuntu-ppa/backports Latest patches deployed as 30-APR-2022 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Running Kubuntu 22.04 with kubuntu-ppa/backports 2. From command line execute kstars 3. Crash: segmentado fault (core dumped) OBSERVED RESULT My system by default uses spanish, so I get this: supersu@mac2:~$ kstars Violación de segmento (`core' generado) Translated to English: Segmentation fault (core dumped) EXPECTED RESULT kstars to start SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KStars - Kubuntu 22.04 LTS x86_64 with kubuntu-ppa/backports (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Kernel 5.15.0-27
Confirmed on a fresh 22.04 installation. Bombs immediately, even 'kstars --version'. Probably won't help due to missing debug symbols but here is the backtrace.

Please test the build of kstars found in : https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/4837
(In reply to Rik Mills from comment #4) > Please test the build of kstars found in : > > https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/4837 Yeap, works fine. Thanks!
FYI, seems kstars did not like having LTO enabled on the build https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain/LTO
Tracking bug for fixing this in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kstars/+bug/1971091
I added the PPA in a couple machines (Kubuntu and Lubuntu 22.04). That fixed the problem. Best Regards.
The fixed package should be landing imminently in regular Ubuntu updates, so no need for PPA packages once it does.
