Hi there!
On 22.04 kdeconnect crashes. The Flatpak works but without a systray icon and no possibility to write sms and stuff...

Here is the crash report:
>Application: KDE Connect-Dienst (kdeconnectd), signal: Segmentation fault

Comment 1 Andrey Rakhmatullin 2022-06-18 16:04:55 UTC
I have the same problem on Debian Testing (kdeconnect 21.12.3, Qt 5.15.2). The affected line is "d->m_certificate.subjectInfo(QSslCertificate::CommonName).constFirst()" and the drkonqi stack with debug symbols is 

[KCrash Handler]
#4  std::__atomic_base<int>::load (__m=std::memory_order_relaxed, this=0x0) at /usr/include/c++/11/bits/atomic_base.h:479
#5  QAtomicOps<int>::loadRelaxed<int> (_q_value=...) at /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qatomic_cxx11.h:239
#6  QBasicAtomicInteger<int>::loadRelaxed (this=0x0) at /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qbasicatomic.h:107

#8  QString::QString (other=..., this=0x7fff8183ca78) at /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qstring.h:1094
#9  KdeConnectConfig::deviceId (this=<optimized out>) at ./core/kdeconnectconfig.cpp:133

I've tried running it under gdb, so far I got to 

(gdb) p KdeConnectConfig::instance().d->m_certificate.subjectInfo(QSslCertificate::CommonName)
$3 = {<QList<QString>> = {<QListSpecialMethods<QString>> = {<No data fields>}, {p = {d = 0x7ffff6b0a5f0 <QListData::shared_null>}, d = 0x7ffff6b0a5f0 <QListData::shared_null>}}, <No data fields>}

(not sure if it's possible to learn something useful about this QList instance from this, as all methods return "Cannot evaluate function -- may be inlined")

But then I've read the output before the crash and there is "qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve <many libssl symbols>" and "qt.network.ssl: Incompatible version of OpenSSL" so it looks like it's something related to the OpenSSL 3 migration. OTOH kdeconnect works without this problem on my other machine running Debian sid...
Comment 2 Andrey Rakhmatullin 2022-06-18 16:16:37 UTC
Using lsof I found that for some reason libssl1.0.2 is loaded into the process, in addition to (and later than) the correct libssl3. Removing it helped (though I don't know who loaded it, considering that the second machine has it installed but not loaded into kdeconnectd).

Comment 10 Tim Hutt 2025-07-25 10:25:31 UTC
I decided to try KDE again after like 20 years and the first thing I saw on login was two crash windows with this crash. Not a great first experience!

Code is here: https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-kde/blob/efce9e923cf4556263b0c0b9ecce34393cfe62f0/core/kdeconnectconfig.cpp#L109

Seems like it's possible for `d->m_certificate` to be null - there are places where it does `if (d->m_certificate.isNull())` but that's missing in `deviceId()`. I guess it's something to do with the other UX paper cut I encountered 20 seconds later: when I open some apps (Chrome, VSCode) they ask me to create some kind of key (I get a choice of Blowfish or GPG) but on the next page it says I don't have any valid encryption keys and to please create one. Then it abandons me on key selection dialog with no keys to select, and no clue how to create one.

Again, not great. Fortunately the settings has an option to just disable KWallet entirely which I did.

Also - I know this isn't a UX bug, sorry for off-topic - why does the "Start menu" have "Settings", "System", "System Settings" and "Settings->System Settings" (all different!)?? Come on guys, basic stuff.
