--- Comment #29 from Henning <li...@hkopf.de> ---
Assuming that the Dolphin+EncFS-problem is a result of the CPU/CPU-flags in
conjunction with the compiler/compiler-flags I also did some further
investigations. Out of habit I used "Oracle VM Virtualbox" with host-extensions
installed for USB support. (No guest-extensions installed by me; Virtualbox
6.1) The results:
i5-4200U host: Kubuntu 20.04.1 works fine with Dolphin+EncFS
VM on that i5-4200U host: Kubuntu 20.04.1 shows the Dolphin+EncFS-problem
i7-3930K host: Kubuntu 20.04.1 shows the Dolphin+EncFS-problem

Therefore I took a look at the CPU-flags by comparing the output of
/proc/cpuinfo. If I can attach the LO-calc-file, I will do so. But from my
point of view, these flags are the most interesting:
Flag only on the two systems where the problem appears (VM@4200U and 3930K):
x2apic
Flags missing on the two systems where the problem appears but available on the
working system (4200U): bmi1, bmi2, cpuid_fault, ept_ad, erms, f16c, fma, sdbg,
smep, tsc_adjust.
There are a lot flags missing only in the VM and some others are missing on the
3930K only. Hence I listed all flags that are common on the systems where the
Dolphin+EncFS-problem appears.

Since I don't really know much about CPU- or compiler-flags, I also played
around with CPU-microcode and patches on the native 3930K. Booting without any
microcode loaded to the CPU by Kubuntu does not solve the Dolphin+EncFS-problem
just as adding "mitigations=off" to grub.

Does anyone have an old ISO-image of Neon with Plasma 5.18? Testing
Dolphin+EncFS there inside a VM would be quite interesting!

P.S.: A Kubuntu 20.04.1-VM on the i5-4200U running Win10 as host OS also shows
the Dolphin+EncFS-problem.
