Description A 2023-03-20 07:12:39 UTC
I am running Fedora 37 on a desktop computer.
Filelight worked on this computer up until 6 to 9 months ago, then started crashing every time I attempted to initiate it.
I have not been able to send a standard report; it always hangs up.

Today, I uninstalled filelight, then reinstalled it.
That did not work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attempt to start filelight; it never starts

OBSERVED RESULT
crash report

EXPECTED RESULT
start

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 37
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version:

Thanks Harald, but I could not figure out how to create a "useful crash report" despite spending a couple hours reading and re-reading the instruction, combined with trying and -retrying.
(As with many instructions,) It is probably totally clear for someone who already knows how to do it, but not clear to those of us who do not know how to do it and are not familiar with several assumptions the author takes for granted.
I see no way forward unless I try to share screen with someone . . . but my Telegram ceased to be able to make calls in the last month.  )-:

Yes, thank you!

When you start fileight from a terminal, do you by any chance see some error printed before the crash?
