Dolphin crashes when opening USB drive, "dolphin does not provide a bug reporting address"
I can't open the dolphin file manager from the tray popup when inserting a new USB drive.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert USB thumb drive 2. Click "open with file manager" in the system tray popup.
Effect: Dolphin crashes, but the error reporting dialog says "You cannot report this error, because dolphin does not provide a bug reporting address". Details: Executable: dolphin, Signal: Segmentation fault (11).
I have both dolphin and dolphin-dbg installed.
What to do?
I trid filing a bug at but they say it's a Kubuntu bug, and not KDE.
lsb_release gives the folling output:
> lsb_release -a

I've got also Dolphin crashing but not in the same context.
May be this workaround will work for you too:
Go to Control Menu > Configure Dolphin > Services > Uncheck "the link to activities"
Sorry, my version is in french and I don't know the exact label in english ("Module externe de liaison entre fichiers et activités)
