OBSERVED RESULT

1: very slow
2: screen is flooded with errors:

first:
kf5.kservice.sycoca: Parse error in "/home/zeta/.config/menus/applications-merged/xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu" , line 1 , col 1 : "unexpected end of file"

repeated many times:
kf5.kservice.services: The desktop file "/home/zeta/.local/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop" references the action "Session cb894b7774233a5e90f899dbcf176a1b" but doesn't define it
kf5.kservice.services: The desktop file "/home/zeta/.local/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop" references the action "Session 2f56b4f336dc97edf739bf79523fb9a6" but doesn't define it
kf5.kservice.services: The desktop file "/home/zeta/.local/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop" references the action "Session 9af9a11921196a9ffd889a1f805abdf6" but doesn't define it
kf5.kservice.services: The desktop file "/home/zeta/.local/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop" references the action "Session 86e2207f7ad647ef64ff93aea0f4b9f2" but doesn't define it

and at the end
kf5.kservice.services: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/org.kde.drkonqi.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line
kf5.kservice.sycoca: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/applications/org.kde.drkonqi.desktop"
kf5.kservice.services: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/org.kde.systemmonitor.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line
kf5.kservice.sycoca: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/applications/org.kde.systemmonitor.desktop"
kf5.kservice.sycoca: The menu spec file contains a Layout or DefaultLayout tag without the mandatory Merge tag inside. Please fix your file.

EXPECTED RESULT

kate should be fast when opening plain text files with no content
stderr should not have errors

Comment 2 zeta 2018-12-21 17:03:09 UTC

Thanks for the info

I thought Debian testing was a "couple of weeks" behind upstream, but after more than a month I'm still stuck on 18 :(

I'll see if I can add Neptune to apt's sources.list to upgrade myself...

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2019-06-22 08:06:16 UTC

The only thing pertaining to kate here is the error/warning messages about the Session entries in org.kde.kate.desktop and the slowness; the rest of it is kbuildsycoca5 spewing error/warning messages about non-compliant .desktop/menu files.

Closing this report as worksforme as per comment#1.
