Description Antony Lee 2016-05-27 23:26:13 UTC
Every once in a while, Plasma pops up a dozen error windows with the message "ksnapshot: Host not found".  They are harmless except for being very annoying.

Note that ksnapshot isn't even installed -- Arch Linux switched to spectacle some time ago.

Arch Linux standard packages, plasma 5.6.4, KF5 5.22.0. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Wait while logged into plasma.

Actual Results:  
Dozens of "ksnapshot: Host not found" error messages pop up every once in a while.

Expected Results:  
Nothing happens.

Comment 1 Andrew Crouthamel 2018-09-04 04:19:58 UTC
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Spectacle is the replacement for ksnapshot now. Please test again and file a new bug for Spectacle if you still have issues. Thank you!
