    Discover locks up when I click "About"

    Discover freezes and stops responding when I click "About", and I can't find anyone else with this problem on the internet to know what it means or if it's bad. Is this a simple bug I can ignore or is it a sign of a wider system issue?

    Have you been launching any GUI applications from the command line using sudo?

        Try reinstalling Discover. Open a konsole and type: sudo apt install --reinstall discover

          I did it, unfortunately it still locks up.

            Let's eliminate any problems within your users /home directory structure.

            Launch System Settings and navigate to Users. Click the + Add New User button and create a new user. Click on Apply, then logout and login using the new user you just created. Launch Discover and click on About. Does it respond correctly, or does it lock up?

              I made a new user, logged in to the new user and it locks up just the same when clicking About.

                so, try running Discover from Konsole, and see what it throws for error when it does this, if any:

                plasma-discover

                (do NOT use sudo or anything)

                  Ok so I ran it from Konsole and it didn't lock up, then I ran it normally and it also didn't lock up, then I restarted. Then I ran it from Konsole again and then it did lock up, and it spams a bunch of errors. I can't copy and paste because it spams them very fast, I am trying to upload a screenshot here but it says "The file you are trying to upload is corrupted", I tried different formats but it doesn't work. I am uploading it to a different site and linking it here:

                    I tried maximizing Discover and resizing the window, now it doesn't lock up anymore. Strange.
                    The terminal still prints errors every time I click somewhere, but I don't know if those are important.
