Hey guys, nice to see you again.
Unfortunately, it seems some functionality in KDE has gone down hill since I began using it. This specific issue is that I sometimes can't open certain plain text files, kwrite, kate and even opening properties on dolphin, causes it crash instantly. Reproducible: Always. Attached are the screen shot from the "Crash reporter assistant" which is never able to report anything.... And the actual backtrace file. ![]()
My system is Debian Jessie(testing) and is reasonably up-to-date. For example, simple empty text file like a: dolphin -> create new -> text file causes the crash, I can still open the file with other editors like nano and emacs. On a side note: Some other things became unstable stop functioning, what gives? I know its not on topic but anybody knows how to fix or direct me to a fix. Multimedia, phonon back-end , vlc and gstreamer. The Nepomuk that suddenly stop working without any notice of switch.... |

Your sycoca appears to be corrupt.
As your normal user, please login on a tty ensuring that you have no other session open then run the following:
After this try logging in normally again.

Hey there, thanks for trying to help.
Still no go, removed with the lines you provided, logged out and logged back in. Same behavior. |

I've just looked at your trace a second time...
Do you have any Plasma 5 / KDE Frameworks 5 packages installed on your system?

I don't think so, my packages are the current available packages in Debian Jessie(testing), if you want to check out. Here is a snapshot from quick search on aptitude... ![]() Most are version 4.14 while some still 4.11. |

If you run Kate/KWrite from a terminal, can you see if it outputs anything relevant to the terminal before crashing?

You got to log out FIRST, then login on VT1 (press ctrl+alt+f1, f7 should take you back to the GUI) and remove it from there. |

Ohhh yeahh, so I've misread that indeed. But now I did it correctly, used kdm feature of loggin into console and did that instead. Buuuut, it didn't work still.....
This is all that's outputted:
Since it happens on all text apps including dolphin if I open the file's properties (I'm guessing the text preview), doesn't it has something to do with kdeinit and the 'advanced embedded text editor' mentioned other places? |

What does a dolphin crash backtrace look like?

As you can see, the kate part is not involved, but "kio -> sycoca -> crash"
=> The KSycocaEntry is invalid. - What FS is /var? (btrfs?) - is it evtl. full? |

var is same as root, no different partition, ext4 I believe.... Sorry but i don't know what is evtl... please elaborate more on any info you need, or on commands to use. And of course, thanks for helping. |
