Description vladicultz 2026-01-31 11:00:45 UTC
SUMMARY
While file indexing is turned on, my journal is spammed with 

baloo_file_extractor: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError("org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed", "Could not register app ID: App info not found for 'org.kde.baloo'")

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn file indexing on
2. # journalctl -f
3. Observe many such logs

OBSERVED RESULT
baloo_file_extractor log spam.

EXPECTED RESULT
No such logs in the journal.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kernel 6.18.7, Arch Linux latest packages available right now
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also, when I try to open files with xdg-open I see this error:

qt.qpa.services: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError("org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed", "Could not register app ID: App info not found for 'org.kde.'")

The file is opened correctly. Happens for txt files opened in Kate, 7z files opened in Dolphin, html files opened in Brave. Not sure if it's related or if I should open another bug ticket, let me know.

This is a fresh system install, all I have done is install Arch Linux, the "plasma-desktop" package and a few other KDE and non-KDE apps. Then I went through the System Settings, individual app settings and checked the journal to see if there were any issues. I have not edited manually the ~/.config/mimeapps.list file, and there are no "org.kde." or "org.kde.baloo" entries in it.

Let me know if there is anything I can try to debug this.
