Description Chiitoo 2025-07-26 13:15:22 UTC
SUMMARY

After 0a9f9fe1063 [1], several applications will "spam" the following (and possibly similar) line(s):

IFFChunk::innerFromDevice: unkwnown chunk "\x89PNG"

1. https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kimageformats/-/commit/0a9f9fe106368f8c21645de82c7843947d7bab77

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Run something like Falkon (a clean profile might not trigger the issue, since specific (png?) files are needed, but with some history or speed-dial data it's probably quite likely to see; I did not dig in deeper yet).
2. Type something on the search bar to pick up specific type of icons, or set a background/something else on the speed-dial.

OBSERVED RESULT

Lost and lots of terminal logging output.

EXPECTED RESULT

Not so lots and lots of terminal logging output.

> Wayland behaviour not tested at all.

Wayland, X11, KDE or LXQt makes no difference in this case. Those warnings clutter the log on launching various kinds of Qt-based apps

I'm getting the same spam of my log files whenever I turn on either of my two monitors.
