Hi everybody.
Having some trouble and hoping the community can offer some insight. Files have been appearing in ~/
for months with impossible file names not recognized by Dolphin or other programs. Initially, I was ignoring them but lately they have become a major nuisance since they disrupt working in ~/
in an application I have started using. Below is an example of two of these files which appeared recently:
Opening one up, below are the contents. Contents of the other file are similar.

â–‘â–‘ Process 600452 (org_kde_powerde) crashed and dumped core.
â–‘â–‘
â–‘â–‘ This usually indicates a programming error in the crashing program and
â–‘â–‘ should be reported to its vendor as a bug.
These are almost certainly related due to the log timestamp matching the time of the file creation in ~/
. So, I believe I have identified the cause, but I am quite new to Linux/Debian/KDE and do not really know what to do to investigate the issue further and find a solution. Would really appreciate any assistance and advice to try to fix this. Thank you very much in advance.
