Looks like you're out of disk space, which is going to make many things not work very well. Created attachment 182707 [details] attachment-4123222-0.html The system wasn't out of disk space when this happened. The issue was that I had no Pictures folder, so Koko defaulted to scanning my entire home folder and tried to add inotify watchers to every file until it exceeded the maximum number of inotify devices.

SUMMARY When I launch Koko it takes many minutes to launch. In the console I get spammed with inotify errors as I watch Koko attempt to watch every file in my home directory. (FWIW I have no "Pictures" folder in my home dir) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch Koko 2. Wait OBSERVED RESULT First line in console is `("/home/jack/")` Then I get spammed with this: kf.coreaddons.kdirwatch: inotify failed for monitoring "/home/jack/Dev/KDE6/usr/lib64/cmake/packagekitqt6" Because it reached its max_user_watches, you can increase the maximum number of file watches per user, by setting an appropriate fs.inotify.max_user_watches parameter in your /etc/sysctl.conf inotify_add_watch(/home/jack/Dev/KDE6/usr/lib64/cmake/packagekitqt6) failed: (No space left on device) after a few minutes the Koko window appears EXPECTED RESULT Koko launches immediately SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20231108 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.5.9-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce 840M/PCIe/SSE2 Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
