Description Hering2007 2017-05-19 14:56:06 UTC
Recently I keep seeing lots of

kwin_x11[844]: kf5.kcoreaddons.desktopparser: Could not locate service type file kservicetypes5/kwin-effect.desktop, tried ("/home/hering/.local/share", "/usr/share", "/usr/local/share") 

in my journal. This happens when Composer gets disabled and enabled again and happens on new installations as well. It might not be a severe bug but it does spam the journal.

I am running the arch packages of plasma including kwin_x11.

I have the same bug on KDE 5.10.5.
This actions can help:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwinscript.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwin-script.desktop
sudo ln -s /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwineffect.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/kwin-effect.desktop

As you see there is a mistake in filenames.

Thanks for the investigation. Maybe those desktop files can even be renamed. Could you check if this would cause any regressions?

No need, mpyne added a review today to address the problem (https://phabricator.kde.org/D8002 )
