Description bachirgiga@gmail.com 2021-03-02 20:29:17 UTC

SUMMARY

When an invalid path to the GnuPG configuration file is specified and KGpg is set to start when the xorg session start, it will fill the xorg-session.log with errors until the system crashes because it has no more disk space left

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set KGpg to start with the session in KGpg settings
2. Provide an invalid path to the GnuPG configuration file in KGpg

OBSERVED RESULT

The xorg-session.log (located in ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log) if you are using SDDM) fills itself with errors stating that the provided path is invalid. The file ends up being very large and fills at several Mb per seconds on my computer (it reached 300Gb in a few hours :D )

EXPECTED RESULT

The error is logged once (or finite amount really)

When I start kgpg from a terminal I see that message about 5 times, and then it stops. More lines only show up when I try to do anything, like refresh the key list.

Have you tried to start it by setting it to autostart with the Xorg session ?
