Lot of same log messages in journalctl jan 05 09:16:48 hlavki org.kde.kdeconnect[1875]: QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old jan 05 09:16:48 hlavki org.kde.kdeconnect[1875]: QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old jan 05 09:16:49 hlavki org.kde.kdeconnect[1875]: QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old jan 05 09:16:49 hlavki org.kde.kdeconnect[1875]: QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old Reproducible: Sometimes
Same here with openSUSE Leap. I have a desktop PC, notebook and smartphone connected with each other via kdeconnect. Besides the journal getting flooded by "QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old" I notice a significant load on the notebook so that the fan begins to spin quite fast. Furthermore the panel with the KMenu, task bar and system tray gets unresponsive – I can neither open new applications nor switch between them when this error occurs. My "workaround" for the time being is to terminate all kdeconect processes in htop and restart kwin with "kwin_x11 --replace" (don't know if the latter thing does help with this problem at all). Then the spam in the journal stops and after a while the panel gets responsive again. "Fun fact": every time when this problem occured it was between 22:00 and 23:00 CET and both my notebook and desktop PC were running at the same time.
Maybe it's opensuse related issue (I use Tumbleweed) and plasmashell freezes also for me. Workaround for me is to disable kdeconnect clipboard plugin
If someone can verify that it must be a downstream issue, I will report this bug in the openSUSE bug tracker.
I've seen this happen in other apps, like Kate, but I have no idea why it happens. Do you guys have any more info about what's causing it?
I don't know, but can be related to Qt: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-26783
I experience the same symptoms except the message is 'Dolphin [1875]: QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old'
I'm running Manjaro, btw.
I can confirm this as a severe bug which essentially causes the desktop session to completely fail and requires logging out and back in. Here is a typical message that shows in syslog: Aug 25 11:50:48 bodhi org.kde.kdeconnect[10441]: QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old Aug 25 11:52:11 bodhi org.kde.kdeconnect[10441]: message repeated 4902 times: [ QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old] This bug is related to copying and pasting functions. It appears to get activated when text is being copied or pasted between windows. It is so severe that it completely prevents me from using my computer because I cannot completely avoid having to copy and paste.
I just wanted to mention that this bug is occuring under Kubuntu 16.04 and under Linux Mint 18 KDE.
So this bug is with KDEConnect and I filed a bug for it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367827
Got the same issue on Arch with 1.0.3.
Thanks for the report and comments everyone. I've just checked and I can't replicate this issue. Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I'm setting status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
Hi, can confirm that there are "SelectionRequest too old" messages in journalctl logs, but not anymore for kdeconnect. I think we can close this issue.
