Created attachment 180390 [details] journalctl while splash screen showing after the upgrade to fedora 42 (kde plasma edition) the kde splash screen, that appears immediately after the user login takes a very long time (40 seconds), because there are some problems in the background going on i guess. the problem did not occur prior to the system upgrade. (additional info: also the autostart apps that have been selected to autostart in the kde system settings -> autostart now take ages, about up to 2 minutes.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login to user account from sddm (to a wayland session) Actual Results: kde splash screen takes very long, ca. 40 seconds. Expected Results: kde splash screen should only show up for about 5 seconds max. Additional Information: Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor Memory: 31,3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon R9 380 Series
ok, turns out if i "mask" the plasma-powerdevil.service with ´´´systemctl --user mask plasma-powerdevil.service´´´ the splash screen times and the autostart times are back to normal. therefore the problem is related to this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502979
