Description Christian Stadelmann 2020-03-02 14:55:11 UTC
SUMMARY
Every time I start kdeconnect (processes kdeconnectd, kdeconnect-notifier) on system boot, I get a warning printed to syslog.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kdeconnect
2. start deamon or restart computer and log in to GNOME/wayland session
3. have a look at syslog

OBSERVED RESULT
This warning is printed several times at boot:
> QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread

EXPECTED RESULT
No warnings.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
kdeconnectd 1.3.5-1.fc31.x86_64
qt5-qtbase 5.13.2-2.fc31.x86_64
kf5-* 5.67.0-1.fc31.x86_64
glibc 2.30-10.fc31.x86_64

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I guess this issue is related to the fact that I'm running kdeconnect on a GNOME/Wayland session which does not natively provide a system tray for tray icons.
