<!--T:2-->
First try to clean your Qt cache, [https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/issues/788 #788], [https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1736765 kubuntu bug 1736765]:

<!--T:3-->
# Close Latte</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:17-->
# Delete everything from the folder {{Path|1=~/.cache/lattedock/qmlcache/}} </translate>
<translate>
<!--T:18-->
# Start Latte again

<!--T:4-->
Use the following guidelines:

<!--T:5-->
* Install ''ddd''

<!--T:6-->
* Run <code>ddd latte-dock</code>

<!--T:7-->
* Inside the text field on the lower side of the ddd window, write and execute <code>run</code>

<!--T:8-->
* When Latte crashes, click <menuchoice>Status</menuchoice> in the menu and select <menuchoice>Backtrace</menuchoice>

<!--T:9-->
* This will show you a window with numbered lines that can be helpful for the development team to find the issue.

<!--T:10-->
If the crash originates from QML, you should try the following:

<!--T:11-->
* Run the following command: {{Input|1=env QV4_FORCE_INTERPRETER=1 latte-dock -d}}

<!--T:12-->
* If the above does not provide enough info, you could try: {{Input|1=env QV4_FORCE_INTERPRETER=1 ddd --debugger /bin/gdb latte-dock}}

<!--T:20-->
Which should provide more information if the debug packages are installed.

<!--T:13-->
If nothing mentioned above succeeds, you could try to check if the crash is related to a specific plasmoid:

<!--T:14-->
# Use Latte with default Layout (does it crash?)</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:19-->
# If it doesn't crash, start adding your plasmoids one by one in order to check their behavior and if they crash Latte.
--------

<!--T:15-->
If it is expected that Latte will eventually crash throughout the day due to the unresolved issue, the user can use the previous suggestions to provide a meaningful backtrace...

<!--T:21-->
For 95% of the cases, this backtrace can help the development team identify if the crash is a Latte-Dock issue and not caused from upstream.

<!--T:22-->
Any good backtrace is much appreciated! Please report such issues at https://bugs.kde.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=lattedock
