For what its worth, there’s some guidance at
https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/index.en.html
and it reads:

It gets difficult in case of users first time posting to a Debian
mailing list: did they read the Code of conduct, are they subscribed?
Some MLs allow to browse the list of members, but I don’t think
lists.debian.org allows that.

In general, assuming you use KDE packages from official Debian archives,
you can use either debuginfod, or plain old debug packages. Have a look
at the Wiki: HowToGetABacktrace[1]. It includes some hints on how to
obtain the needed debug package names. Let us know if you'll have
further issues or if there's something to improve in that Wiki text.

I do not have this option checked. Note that I am on Plasma 5.17 from
bullseye, it may work differently.

$ stat -c '%A %U %G %n' .face*

Re: Change user icon (avatar) as non-root

[Grzegorz Szymaszek]

Hi,

If you use SDDM, just put the icon (as a PNG file) in ~/.face.icon. You
may need to adjust permissions of this file, see
 (that
ArchWiki page contains other solutions as well).

Re: Change user icon (avatar) as non-root

[Grzegorz Szymaszek]

I had tried setting a new icon via System Settings. I did not enter root
password in the prompts that appeared, but it turns out the avatar (the
~/.face.icon file) was actually updated. I am on bullseye, not sure if
it works the same in buster.
