Need Help. Dolphin keeps crashing on connecting to a Windows 11 SMB Share

Help
1

Hi, I have an issue where when I try to connect to a Windows 11 share using dolphin, dolphin just straight up crashes. I’m using cachyos, with KDE Plasma 6.4.5 and Dolphin 25.08.1

The issue happens every time I try to connect to a windows 11 share. I have confirmed this issue doesn’t happen when connecting to a NAS, nor another debian share I have setup with samba-server on a different server. Anyway, without further a due, here is the coredump. I’m honestly not sure if this is a duplicate bug, so I’m posting this issue here first, rather than on the kde bug report website

When typing the share name, make sure it has a trailing slash. Like smb://server/share/

Something like that, I’m away from a computer right now but that has resolved it for me in the past.

i don’t come across the issue anymore as I’ve permanently mounted my windows shares to folders.

3

sure enough entering smb://computername.local/ seems to work. WHY?

entering smb://computername.local does not. it seems like that when smb works correctly a @username gets put into the address bar. so the correct result is this

smb://username@computer.local/

but from what i can tell, entering smb://computer.local without the last slash does not put in the username

Again, why is this?

It’s fine for now as a workaround, but can this be fixed?

Also, I don’t really want to do permanent mounting with fstab, but thanks for the suggestion.

The reasons why are beyond my skill level, but it is a workaround as you say.

Understand, just to share the solution I used was to do the mounting as a systemd service, I followed these steps from a Bazzite dev: SMB automount using systemd - Bazzite - Universal Blue

I’m having the same issue. I know there are work-arounds but I’m into my 70’s and don’t care to play work-around games. Maybe I’ll move my computers to Mint for a while until this is fixed. Mint 22 works fine and Caja doesn’t crash. Is anyone working on the problem? I have a home part on every computer so moving five comps to to a new distro is fairly easy.

Sad though because I’ve been a KDE guy for many many years.

It might actually be fixed now. I just tried again and am not getting any crashes. I now have 2 new windows 11 machines and neither crash when browsing the windows 11 smb network share on dolphin on linux. I’m running KDE 6.5.4 and dolphin 25.12.1

Also, if your still having issues another very easy workaround and one time solution for me was to just create a shortcut to the network share within dolphin via right clicking the left hand part of dolphin > add entry

then just type in the full path to the network share. eg.

smb://brian@mycomputername.local/my share

This does work as well, though as of 1-10-26 it seems like its working as expected. at least for me

Sounds like progress.

My Kubuntu version is 25.08.1. Wonder how I can force an update?

8

You might have a backport available in the kubuntu ppa: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports
But KDE Gears hasn’t been updated to 25.12 yet?. Might arrive in a few days or weeks.
The backport ppa already has a more recent dolphin version (25.08.3) than you have and it has Plasma 6.5.4.

When I used Kubuntu, I always had this ppa added, I can recommend it (it is still more stable than KDE Neon).

Otherwise you will have to wait for Kubuntu 26.04.

The fix was likely in KDE Frameworks and in kio most likely, not so much in dolphin itself.

Nice of you to let us know this is fixed.
