Today, I’m having problems with kdevelop crashing a lot. Normally when a KDE application crashes, Dr. Konqi will pop up these days and get a backtrace of the crashed process. Since I have FEATURES=“splitdebug” enabled on my Gentoo machine, that usually yields good backtraces debug symbols included, too. However, today, Dr. Konqi seems to complete fail to bring up anything. Here is what the output looks like:
Starting debugger gdb -nw -n -batch --init-eval-command=set debuginfod enabled on -x /tmp/drkonqi.LVUgdc -x /tmp/drkonqi.vMKIyW -p 15035 /usr/bin/kdevelop
Support for debuginfod is not compiled into GDB.
ptrace: No such process.
python sentry-sdk not installed :(
/tmp/drkonqi.vMKIyW:1: Error in sourced command file:
No thread selected
Debugging ended with exit code '1' and exit status 'NormalExit'
I’m not even sure how that part with -p 15035 was ever supposed to work. The process is gone at that point, of course you can no longer attach to it…
Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong here and what to do about it?
