Fatal error occurred in Dolphin

[wcurtiss]

hello all,
I did a full upgrade of my Kubuntu last week (kde4.1) and now Dolphin, which was working ok before, is crashing at random it seems. It gives me a signal 6 (SIGABRT) error. Below is the backtrace from the error message box.

Application: Dolphin (dolphin), signal SIGABRT

Sometimes Dolphin will crash when I'm trying to move or copy a file, sometimes when it's just sitting there doing nothing or when I am exploring folders. Any help as to why this is happening would be great.

in terminal

sudo apt-get remove dolphin --purge

sudo apt-get install dolphin

Re: Fatal error occurred in Dolphin

Dolphin in KDE 4.1 Beta should not crash randomly, AFAIK. It should crash when you right-click in the white space, such as you would do to execute a "paste" or a "new>folder" operation.

Well, OK, it maybe should not crash like that, but it does on my installation too, which is fully updated. KDE 4.1 is Beta and it's a little rough around the edges -- breakage is to be expected.

I agree that reinstalling Dolphin as per nowshining's post might fix the random crash. If you can stop the strigi daemon from running, that might help too - open System Settings>Advanced>Services (if I'm remembering the menus correctly) and find the screen where you can change which ones start automatically on bootup.

BTW Konqueror does the same "crash on right-click functions" as Dolphin, for me. But if you remember to use the Edit menu instead of the right mouse button, they both work as expected.

Re: Fatal error occurred in Dolphin

and Dolphin could crash when you:

right click on a corrupted MPEG file. That is Bug 164296: Dolphin crash right clicking on a corrupted MPEG file. Here Dolphin is crashing when i move cursor over an Avi file > Re: KDE 4.1 - Now: Dolphin crashing.

Re: Fatal error occurred in Dolphin

problem solved... I guess. I just wiped the drive and reinstalled using the kde4 remix. Dolphin works now, or at least I haven't gotten it to crash yet so I'm happy. Synaptic package manager now works again as well so that takes care of both my major concerns Thanks all for your input.
