Why can't I open Discover?

@Red, I’ve the same:

20:21:27 (+     0.000269) futex(0x55b8a3fa8cd8, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET_PRIVATE|FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, 0, NULL, FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY) = 0 <300.437253>
20:26:27 (+   300.437766) futex(0x55b8a3fa8c90, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 <0.000203>

…with plasma-discover-6.4.4-1.fc42.x86_64, too:

What’s of note is:

20:26:35 (+     0.000850) write(2, "no other processes own it alread"..., 35no other processes own it already?
) = 35 <0.000312>

…which would explain crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6370126b-b983-4889-a7ca-a17b90250626, too. [1] Does anyone wish to file a bug? [2]


@gcarlo_f, that works! Thank you. I should have run perf record --debuginfod --call-graph dwarf plasma-discover before running this, because it works now.
