    Rekonq Crashes - How to report a bug

    I would really like to stick with a KDE browser when 12.04 comes out, but rekonq crashes alot.

    When running in 11.10 it works much better. An example is http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Welcome/0,,10280,00.html I can get to fornt page as soon as I enter site Rekonq crashes.

    Konqueror works OK but if I change it to use webkit it too crashes.

    So as I want to help the testing process my question is how to report the bug, although I've used Kubuntu since Dapper I've never reported a bug before.

    The crash report contains no useful information apparently!

    I am working on the assumption the bug is with webkit engine and not Rekonq and Konqueror.

    So please help me help to improve Kubuntu.

    Thanks Dave

    As this is a beta version of Kubuntu would bugs be reported to Kubuntu bugs or upstream to KDE bugs?

    I thought it may be a flash problem as Rekonq crashes on youtube if i try to play a clip and also crashes on play.com.
    Firefox works fine on all sites.

    Further information.

    Rkonq - the KDE crash handler.

    On the general page of the crash handler page under details I get the message

    Executable: kdeinit4 PID: 2272 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)


    on the developer information page I run backtrace and it tells me the crash information is not useful.

    When I try to install debug symbols I get the message "could not find debug symbols for this application."

    When I read crash report there are 4 packeges that have ?? by them which I understand means debug packages are required.
    they are

    () - not sure what that means

    libglib-2.0.so.0 - found and installed debug packages

    libQtScript.so.4 - no dbg packages found

    libflashplayer.so - no dbg packages found

      Hi,
      as you alredy expected this is a "bug" related to flash. Change your "libflashplayer.so", you have prob. V 11.1 , with the latest version from Adobe, V 11.2 and the crashes will be over. At least it did on my box with Kub 12.04 b. At KDE they probably kwow already what's happening. When Precise officialy will be released I expect the newer version of the flashplayer will be shipped...

        Yes, I replaced flash with gnash and crashes have stopped.
        Strange flash with Firefox works OK.
