Description Swâmi Petaramesh 2022-12-15 13:15:19 UTC
Application: DiscoverNotifier (5.26.4)

Qt Version: 5.15.7
Frameworks Version: 5.100.0
Operating System: Linux 5.15.82-1-MANJARO-ARM-RPI aarch64
Windowing System: X11
Distribution: Manjaro ARM
DrKonqi: 5.26.4 [KCrashBackend]

-- Information about the crash:
Discover notifier crashes at Plasma session start

This seems to happen everytime since I installed :

local/flatpak 1:1.15.1-1
    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework (formerly xdg-app)
local/libpamac-flatpak-plugin 11.4.1-1
    Flatpak plugin for Pamac

And the call stack suggests this is actually related.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Notificateur de Discover (DiscoverNotifier), signal: Segmentation fault

Can you try t get a build with debug symbols? It would make all the difference to us.
Comment 2 Swâmi Petaramesh 2022-12-16 06:24:17 UTC
Hello,
I'm sorry but I'm using distro provided packages and cannot compile my own custom KDE on this machine.
I don't have the time resources to dig into this and need to keep the machine fairly stable.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-01-04 19:53:34 UTC
I would recommend switching to a distro that provides proper debuggability for crashes, otherwise their choices are causing you to waste your own time, and that of others. :(

In the absence of any way to track it down more, I'm marking this as a dupe of Bug 460503, which looks like it has the same backtrace and is caused by disk automounting happening after autostarted apps, due to Bug 323151.

Jeez I'm sorry to have reported a bug as a vanilla user as it seems you're not ready to consider bug reports from “simple users” that are just reporting that something went bad with all possible detail, but without going thru installing a whole lot of development debug packages on their everyday workhorse...

If KDE bug reports are reserved to developers that have the complete development tools with bells and whistles installed on their system, I suppose that it should be mentioned somewhare...

However DrKonqi generates bug reports without any mention of this...

Sorry for the disturbance.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-01-05 15:09:36 UTC
As https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting says, bug reporting involves some responsibility. It's not just a "throw the bug report over the wall and it gets fixed" thing; there may be further information that developers need from you. In this case, the information we needed from you was impossible for you to provide because your distro made the decision to not provide debug symbols. That's not your fault, but you're affected by that issue anyway.

Regardless, I was able to piece together that this is probably a duplicate of Bug 460503 anyway even without the debug symbols, so there's nothing more you need to do here. :) 

But for future reference, if you do want to submit more crash reports, I would recommend either switching to a distro that provides debug symbols for software they ship, or else learning to compile software so you can provide them yourself. Crash reports with no debug symbols are rarely actionable, except in the case where it's obvious even without debug symbols that it's the same as another already-known crash.
