In order to preserve limited / filesystem space, I tried minimally
following
the instructions at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces by installing
only gdb and plasma-workspace-debuginfo, but the instructions don't say how
to find the coredump. The only one that looked right by name and timestamp
is in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.plasmashell<blah>.lz4 (@23059K). Gdb
complains about that file:
....lz4 is not a core dump. File format not recognized.
Now what do I do?
I found out how to disable core compression and generated a new core, except
I got 5 KDE cores[1] rather than one. I tried on the one with plasmashell in
the name, and gdb complains "No symbol table info available over and over and
waits on me to tell it what next. :-(
