SUMMARY After updating from 6.3.5 to 6.4 beta, plasmashell started using one cpu core at 100% and spamming the log with: `kf.i18n.qml: No QML engine available, KLocalizedQmlContext not properly set up?` STEPS TO REPRODUCE I don't know, a user account created on an older version of plasma with untouched settings works without problems on plasma 6.4 beta. OBSERVED RESULT Plasma spams the user journal with `kf.i18n.qml: No QML engine available, KLocalizedQmlContext not properly set up?` and uses 100% on one cpu core. EXPECTED RESULT Even if the locale settings are wonky, plasma should probably fallback to "C" locale and not hog the cpu. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.6-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 96 GiB of RAM (93.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I suspect some issue with the user locale config, but my /etc/locale.conf is properly configured: LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ~/.config/plasma-localerc contains: [Formats] LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IE.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=en_IE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_PAGE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_IE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_IE.UTF-8 /etc/locale.gen contains the correct entries for "de_DE.UTF-8", "en_US.UTF-8" and "en_IE.UTF-8" and I even went through the Region & Languages settings and reconfigured the locales.

Another thing, maybe related, kactivitymanagerd is running at ~54% of one cpu core. I don't have any activities set up, and only use the default one
After removing the kactivitymanagerd configs, the cpu usage went back to normal, but the log spamming still continues. I guess something was wrong with my activity config, even though I haven't changed any activity related settings as far as I remember.
