Something is wrong about your locale. At least the code says so.
I've seen and experienced (oh, the joy of desktop Linux) locale problems, so I met a few ways of fixing locale problems. There's no guarantee, however.
(But you won't be modifying/messing with anything either, so don't worry.)

Open a terminal, and try this:
> export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
> export LC_COLLATE="C"
> qbittorrent

If it works, you need to adjust your locale.

Ps.: The first two commands are NOT permanent, they are only active while you have THAT specific terminal open.

install the -dbg packages of qt/qbittorrent/libtorrent and gdb

In a terminal do:

Code: Select all

gdb qbittorrent
run

bt
