Hi there,

Every time I open a new window in Dolphin an error message pops up
"The process for the tags protocol died unexpectedly"

Additionally a notification also appears much less disruptive to the UI
"tags.so died unexpectedly"
Executable: tags.so PID: 34997 Signal: Bus error (10) Time: 15 Sep 2021 09:49:26 CEST

I am running KDE5 on FreeBSD 13.0p4, the facility to report the bug is not enabled by default in the FreeBSD port for KDE5
when clicking on learn how to create a useful crash report it tells me to re build the port (wtf) with debug flags on

That seems to be a second bug, error reporting is disabled by design on FreeBSD
If anyone knows how to disable the feature which calls tags.so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Have a great day!
Oclair

That is not a bug, but a distribution decision, as debugging symbols needed for useful crash reports can take a lot of space on a system, something most users will never need or use.

Hi there, thanks for responding. Well yes, and imagine having the Re-build KDE which would take quite a while as well!

Is there a way to turn off tags.so from being called?
I do have a core I could pass along!

Have a nice day,
OC

The pop up message amounts to UI theft and if the ability to easily report the bug is disabled then it should be possible to disable the alert. I have not been (yet) affected by any degradation in usability of Dolphin. Searches also turn up nothing regarding tags.so
