Comment 1 Lorenz Hoffmann 2021-03-27 12:40:37 UTC

Exact console ouput is:

QDBusConnection: error: could not send signal to service "" path "//home/lorenzh/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals" interface "org.kde.kconfig.notify" member "ConfigChanged": Invalid object path: //home/lorenzh/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals

Comment 2 David Edmundson 2021-03-27 12:47:55 UTC

It's not a typo, it's a lack or normalisation in KConfigWatcher paths. 

It's harmless as we know there's no-one listening on that path, but something I should fix

Comment 3 Thorolf E.R. Weißhuhn 2023-03-09 18:12:33 UTC

A fix would be nice now. At least for Yin&Yang[*]; there may be others profiting from it.

Comment 4 Lorenz Hoffmann 2024-03-09 18:58:29 UTC

This seems to be solved in Plasma 6, as I don't get the message anymore.

Cool, thanks for following up!
