Bug Description
U/Kubuntu 22.04
Package: kstars
Version: 5:3.5.7-1
Also see: https:/
[Impact]
* The application segfaults on start, so is useless in its current state
[Test Plan]
* Does it start ok?
* Tester familiar with kstars may wish to test if there are any regressions in functionality compared to previous releases.
[Where problems could occur]
* Regressions in functionality compared with previous releases. Unless major, these may not be a blocker to this fix and a follow up SRU would be more appropriate.

The backtrace looked very similar to the nextcloud-desktop crash on startup when built with LTO enabled. Confirmed that building with LTO turned off for kstars likewise fixes the startup crash.
