Had some more time to play with it, and while I’m still experiencing the same issues, I found a couple of other things of note by launching plasmashell --replace via terminal and reading the output.
The following errors are present, which I assume are related to required services that somehow can’t be accessed:
kf.service.services: KServiceTypeTrader: serviceType "ThumbCreator" not found
kf.service.services: KApplicationTrader: mimeType "inode/directory" not found
As well, this error repeats almost constantly while the output is being logged:
kf.plasma.core: findInCache with a lastModified timestamp of 0 is deprecated
I hope this sheds a little more light on things for you. If there’s anything else you’d like me to take a look at and report back on, let me know.
I’ll also leave my system specs here for reference. I doubt they’re relevant, given the similar reports other people have made, but it can’t hurt:
Acer Nitro 5 AN515-42 laptop
Ryzen 2700u CPU with an AMD RX 560x DGPU unit
8gb DDR4 RAM
The system is running using the open-source AMDGPU drivers found in the kernel and mesa.
I also realize that I forgot to reply to you directly with my previous post above, so my apologies if you didn’t receive the other information in it.
I took a look in the /usr folder and noticed that every file and folder contained within it is timestamped as 01/01/1970. Could this have something to do with it? All other timestamps on the system appear to be normal.
That’s interesting, I rebased to the Rawhide branch after reading your post, but the same problems still persist for me (even after cleaning out all the config files and creating a new temporary user.) Is there anything else you might have done to your system between the last time you tried Kinoite and this time? Thanks.
I use English language, but this error popup is there when I first install using ISO - almost on the first day it is available, and is still there every version I have tried.
This bug is tracked in 1966265 – Kinoite Bug on First Boot. Not been able to reproduce yet. Please always include the output of rpm-ostree status with bug reports.
