Description Nick Cross 2017-11-24 16:59:57 UTC
I upgraded my machine from F26 to 27 and found that apper crashes on startup. Upstream KDE issue is linked in. I also installed a fresh KDE spin in a VM and it still happens. Intriguingly running "/usr/bin/kcmshell5 kcm_apper" starts it up fine (sound this by starting "Software Management" from krunner.

Interestingly, drkonqi does not accept the problem as bug report...

$ apper --version
apper 0.9.3

Comment 3 Jonathan Ryshpan 2017-12-26 14:53:40 UTC
I see this too.  Also saw it in the last few upgrades to Fedora-26.

Comment 4 Pavel Alexeev 2017-12-31 11:58:19 UTC
Similar problem has been detected:

Just start apper and it segfaulted.

It look like related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387063

I can confirm what `/usr/bin/kcmshell5 kcm_apper` works

Metoo, same messages as aannoaanno showed in Comment 2, happened first time between the 11th and 15th of December while I was still in Fedora 26, and upgrading to Fedora 27 didn't help.

Trying new application. Throws a SigSegV. Perhaps app is defective ?
