Thanks, though I did not have them already installed - they were all new installs. Sadly, after installing all 130MB(download) / 400MB(unpacked) of the above, nothing has improved about the backtrace, and Crash Assistant still lists 7 software items as needing symbols : /usr/bin/knotify4 /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_vlc.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libphonon.so.4 /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_platform/kde.so /usr/lib/libvlc.so.5 /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libalsa_plugin.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2 I can identify which binary package delivered each file, but it isn't always obvious which other package contains the corresponding debug symbols. Let's see ..... # dpkg -S /usr/bin/knotify4 ===> kde-runtime (hmm, that's surprising .... okay ... [continues]) dpkg -S /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_vlc.so ==> phonon-backend-vlc dpkg -S /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libphonon.so.4 ==> libphonon4 dpkg -S /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_platform/kde.so ==> kde-runtime dpkg -S /usr/lib/libvlc.so.5 ==> libvlc5 dpkg -S /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libalsa_plugin.so ==> vlc-nox dpkg -S /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2 ==> libasound2 And it appears from packages.d.o that the following exist : kderuntime-dbg phonon-backend-vlc-dbg ***NO*** libphonon(4)-dbg, but there is a libphonon-dev ... ***NO*** libvlc(5)-dbg, but there is a libvlc-dev ... ***NO*** vlc-nox-dbg or -dev libasound2-dbg Lets try Google: googling 'vlc-nox' reveals there is something called 'vlc- dbg' ... that sounds promising ... Now googling 'phonon': Ah - there's a 'phonon-dbg' Okay - I'll try installing these (ignoring the two -dev packages), and will report back whether or not that results in a useful crash report. It'd be nice if there were a handy list of correspondences for this somewhere at debian.org, or even an entry on each packages.d.o page giving the information. Maybe to a developer all this is obvious, but it isn't always so clear to an end-user.
