Bug ID: 525395
Summary: Corrupted config prevents opening after viewing large
folder
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Bazzite
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
Dolphin's config became corrupted somehow. This corrupted config prevented
Dolphin from opening for the specific user - other/new users were unaffected.
Clicking on the icon in the taskbar showed a loading icon for several seconds
before failing to start. Opening from others apps failed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a large folder (233.3 GB, 103,131 files)
2. Close Dolphin
3. Open Dolphin
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin failed to open
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin would open
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window): Bazzite 44
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.29.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Diagnosed and remedied with the help of Bazzite discord community (search for
"Dolphin stopped working" under #bazzite-help). Cause unknown.
Running "dolphin" in console yielded the following result:
kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file
/var/home/fyf/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin, line 6:" Invalid entry
(missing ']')
kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file
/var/home/fyf/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin, line 7:" Invalid entry
(missing '=')
kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file
/var/home/fyf/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin, line 8:" Invalid entry
(missing '=')
kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file
/var/home/fyf/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin, line 9:" Invalid entry
(missing '=')
Segmentation fault (core dumped) dolphin
The offending config was renamed, which fixed the issue (Dolphin generated a
new config). The offending config is attached. From my own skim of it, the
cause may've been a memory buffer running out somewhere. The last normal line
points to a particularly large folder of images. However, the folder being
accessed has been accessed via Dolphin previously without issue, so the true
cause is unknown.
