Dolphin Crashes When Creating a New Directory/Folder

Zer0sVoid · December 16, 2025, 7:37am

This has been happening me or at least the past few weeks. When I create a new folder inside an external HDD of mine, Dolphin seems to hang or crash. This only happens on one of my two external HDD.
I am in the second subfolder of the HDD.

External HDD/Folder/ThisFolderCrashes

ThisFolderCrashes is a place holder name, but is is when I’m attempting to create a new folder.
When I press “Ok” on the dialog to confirm the name of the new folder Dolphin seems to stop.
Both KDE and Hyprland suggest I terminate the program.
When I terminate and then reopen Dolphin, the folder is created with the name I specified.

I’d like advice on how to log the crash so that it can be diagnosed.

Ah, try changing the name…
mv HDD/Folder/ThisFolderCrashes HDD/Folder/ThisFolderNeverCrashes

Also, I would suggest a detailed SMART report and some information about that disk, filesystem and everything else is really in order…

You can try also:

sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

change sda to the device in question.

Close dolphin, and try:

mv ~/.config/dolphinrc ~/Desktop/dolphinrc

For logs, try ‘journalctl’ with some filters…

maybe: journalctl -p3 -xb --ho-hostname will show something?

Short answer:

coredumpctl debug dolphin -A "-ex bt -ex quit" |& tee backtrace.txt

Provided you have debuginfod configured, this will make a relevant backtrace.txt.

What’s unique about this external HDD is it does not have SMART available to it.
Running that command with the target drive tells me it lacks SMART capability.

I’m not currently able to reproduce the problem, but I hope my backtrace is helpful in finding out it might be a user error.

My bad, I forgot to share the backtrace.

What is the url in view in dolphin then, before the folder creation (what is selected when you hit Ctrl+L) ?
Did you create sub-folders/hierarchy ?

This crash is dependent on the path, and it happens because the new folder does not appear to be in the current folder in view. I don’t understand how this can happen, how to fix this will be evident once I understand that.

jebez · December 17, 2025, 11:47am

PC Arch Linux KDE, me also sometimes.

DeMus · December 17, 2025, 1:54pm

What happens when Dolphin crashes, does the program becomes completely unresponsive, do parts of the screen disappear, …?
Have you tried to just sit and wait for some time (no idea how long it would have to be btw) to see it it returns to normal activity? In the mean time don’t move the mouse.
How do you mount your external disks, do you use Samba, NFS, something else?

Finamore00 · December 17, 2025, 3:09pm

Experiencing this issue as well in Arch Linux with KDE. However, in my case the issue presents itself specifically when the path for the created directory contains a hidden directory within it.

Steps for reproduction

Open Dolphin file manager
Go into a hidden directory (e.g. ~/.local/share or ~/.local/bin)
Open the New folder dialogue through the default shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+N)
Enter directory name and submit with Enter key
Program will become unresponsive and has to be forcefully terminated. Opening the program again will show the directory is indeed successfully created.

System details:

OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: 6.18.1-arch1-2
DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.4
Filesystem: BTRFS + LUKS2 encryption.

As mentioned previously, creating directories within other regular directories works as expected. The issue only presents itself when a hidden directory is contained within the target path

amilias · December 17, 2025, 3:23pm

@Finamore00 your crash behavior sounds exactly like one I submitted to the bug tracker a few days ago: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513345

The difference being me not having problems with hidden folders in particular, but the “steps to reproduce” crash dolphin every single time for me, no matter where. Maybe you could try if this is reproducible for you aswell?

Finamore00 · December 17, 2025, 3:44pm

@amilias Managed to reproduce the bug in regular directories following the reproduction steps in your bug report. The issue is likely related to Dolphins inner mechanisms for navigation within the file system, as in my case I accessed the hidden directories by typing their path into the navigation bar (Ctrl+L)

I’ve also verified that if I instead show hidden directories through provided shortcut (Ctrl+H) and access the hidden directories through regular selection then the creation of the new directories executes normally.

Zer0sVoid · December 17, 2025, 7:05pm

When I have the target drive and directory open, the path is
/run/media/zer0svoid/External HDD/Folder/ThisFolderCrashes/

While inside ThisFolderCrashes, is where I attempt to create a new directory using Dolphin.

In my case, Dolphin becomes unresponsive and either KDE or Hyprland suggests I kill the process.

untilde · December 19, 2025, 7:35am

Same issue here.

Ah, I missed it… but it’s right.

If you use the shortcut with no folder selected, Dolphin freezes… if you kill dolphin and start it up, the folder is actually there…

Dolphin 25-12.0 I believe I got it in fresh today… I’m wondering if the weight of the recent threads have been having an effect

Meanwhile, punch up F4 and do mkdir -pv foldername/nestedname instead until someone gets on it and pushes the fix.

This is not sufficient to trigger the bug, I don’t reproduce it.

At tleast with not released yet KDE Frameworks 6.22 and dolphin 25.12.0.

What are the exact steps ?

ben2talk · December 21, 2025, 11:59pm

The steps have eroded and the bug vanished - I’m not sure, but we had another update that cleared it up.

Yup, a ghost in the machine - moved on now.

Thank you, smile and carry on

I’m having a similar issue where Dolphin will freeze and crash when creating a new folder but it only happens to the Dolphin windows launched through a bash script and works fine otherwise. This started a few days ago and had been working fine for months before then.

I have a script that opens a few Dolphin windows dolphin “/mnt/folder” & and every time I create a folder within a Dolphin window launched through that bash script then Dolphin freezes and eventually crashes. The folder is still created and be used normally after that.

Launching Dolphin through normal means (clicking the icon) or through the console works normally and does not cause a freeze/crash when creating a new folder.

ben2talk · December 23, 2025, 12:20pm

I just tested this from a terminal…
dolphin ~/Desktop
Create New Folder (apparently fails).

You have to wait for it to crash, or kill it - but then restarting shows that the folder appeared as expected… I wonder if it’s an issue with the ‘selection’ logic not working for all scenarios.

I was able to reproduce this thanks to your feedback.

And I have a fix:
