I often find that kdeinit5 reports a crash when I log out. Today the
same thing happened when I right-clicked on a window title and selected
Special Window Settings (the crash happened when I closed the pop-up).
The error says:
We are sorry, kdeinit5 closed unexpectedly.
You cannot report this error, because kdeinit5 does not provide a bug reporting
address.
Details:
Executable: kdeinit5 PID: nnnn: Aborted (6) Time dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss
There is a "Debug" option which fails thus:
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/kdeinit5...Reading symbols from
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/kdeinit5.debug...done.
done.
Attaching to program: /usr/bin/kdeinit5, process 9024
ptrace: Operation not permitted.
(gdb)
So we have:
1) No way to copy the error text except manually, which I just did.
2) No bug reporting address.
3) Failing gdb, presumably because kdeinit5 runs as root and not the
actual user.
I had previously added a comment to
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349651, but I'm not sure that's
even the right bug report. Suggestions welcome.
