Plasma application dump
Hello, I run KDE plasma under wayland. On several occasions, the applications crash. The front runners are akregator,kontact etc. Usually, I find a core dump associated with the crash with coredumpctl. Where can I report the crashes/back trace/core dump to help those projects? Should it be arch bug tracker or upstream? -- Thanks and Regards Shridhar

For these coredumps to be useful one typically has got to have the debugging versions installed. You can get started here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debugging/Getting_traces although other steps may be needed to get a usable coredump. As to where to report the coredumps, when you have useful ones, that would generally be upstream yes.
It would usually be upstream unless you have a reason to believe Arch is at fault. https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting A lot of Wayland related issues on Plasma were only solved with Qt 6, and thus in Plasma 6, today the second Plasma 6 beta should be coming out if you want to help with beta testing and possibly get rid of some of the existing issues you have. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories#kde-unstable The above does not mean you shouldn't report bugs with Plasma 5, they still care about them.

Thank you for all the inputs. I tried debugging a crashed kontact core dump but that pushed my 8GB laptop into a non-responsive state somehow. May be couple of running browser sessions added some weight. Will try again. -- Thanks and Regards Shridhar
