Kde Plasma Slow Opening apps

Hello.
First, yes, I have checked forum and red all the topics about this, but none solution works (neither june’s update bug).
Some apps, like LibreOffice or pamac-manager take some time to startup, in contrast to other SO in the same laptop.

And LibreOffice shows:

(soffice:29935): Gdk-WARNING **: 18:53:39.556: XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed. Don't do that

Any suggestion?

Create a new user, reboot, login into this new one and report if anything changed.

What says Htop?

I was having similar sluggish issues of late as well.

Inexplicably, they have now ceased. No clue as to why. But my Plasma was so sluggish after a while. Like the system just would become sluggish for zero (known) reason.

Sometimes my system would just lock up entirely to the point where I would have to hard reboot.

But like I said, these past days the system is quick and responsive. No clue what changed.

New user has the same problems.

What do you mean exactly? I don’t see any unexpected process

Have you checked the solution provided here already?

There isn’t any xdg-desktop-portal-gnome on my system. Only:

 ~  xdg-desktop-                                                                                                                                                                                                          
xdg-desktop-icon  xdg-desktop-menu

And yes, I tried it.

Have you tried to install the proper “xdg-desktop-portal” version then?

sudo pacman -Syu xdg-desktop-portal-kde

Yes, I did it. :smiling_face_with_tear:

When I open pamac-manager, it takes some time to and it show this:

Any idea?
