Bug ID: 495511
Summary: kdeconnect crashes on login - probably due to SSL MITM
snooping due to mandated company security software
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 23.08.5
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com

Stacktrace (sorry no debug symbols)
SUMMARY
kdeconnect will crash on every login on my system.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. After bootup, login to KDE (X11)
OBSERVED RESULT
Observe crash in kdeconnect - always reproducible.
EXPECTED RESULT
kdeconnect would not crash
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 24.04.1 (note this also happened on Ubuntu 22.04.4
which I recently upgraded from)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.11.5.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I believe this crash is due to company mandated security software which
performs SSL MITM to snoop on traffic. My theory is that kdeconnect tries to
reach out to some API on SSL (?) and does not recognise the returned response
from this software as it does not trust the SSL certificate offered by the
security software.
