System Settings Crashing

In System Settings>Appearence>Global Theme everytime I try to download a new theme it prompts for a password the crashes. When I restart the application under Global Themes it shows the theme is installed. However if I click on Get New Global Themes the themes still show install next to them like they were not installed correctly. If I click install then the window crashes again. Here is the crash log.

Application: System Settings (systemsettings5), signal: Segmentation fault

A quick search online for this particular problem suggests deleting the .config folder under the user directory, or creating a new user. Both of those options are overkill in my opinion.

Does anyone know the exact file/folder to delete instead?

Re: System Settings Crashing

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439797

When you say "this particular problem" do you mean a systemsettings crash in this KCM, or this specific backtrace? Because crashes can be caused by lots of different issues and there's no guarantee that a workaround for one of them will work for another one.

Sorry quick search for "(systemsettings5), signal: Segmentation fault" yielded those results
