Upgrading from kservice-5.14.0 to kservice-5.14.2 results in the KDE desktop becoming non-functional, or extremely slow. After login from SDDM, the screen is black. If you wait long enough (about 40 seconds,) the KDE desktop finally appears. However, it appears frozen. In reality, it's very slow to update (it's like running at 0.01FPS or something.) Downgrading to 5.14.0 fixes it. $ emerge -pv kde-frameworks/kservice These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

same here, kservice-5.14.2 completely breaks the desktop
I can confirm Plasma 5 stopped being slower than Doom III on Radeon 9250 after the downgrade. Also I could be wrong as it's just my gut feeling after many weeks of Plasma 5 but I don't think it's adding new slowness, just taking the one that's already there to an 11.
Same here. Downgrading to 5.14.0 fixes the issue for me.
Also https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46320 is tracking this bug
same for me In my log (journalct -f), I see all the time the same logs in loops, If I kill the process and restart plasmashell,it's look like OK. sept. 18 18:50:08 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3144]: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:08 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3146]: Reusing existing ksycoca sept. 18 18:50:08 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3146]: Recreating ksycoca file ("/home/mypseudo/.cache/ksycoca5", version 303) sept. 18 18:50:08 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3146]: Still in the time dict (i.e. deleted files) ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:09 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3146]: Saving sept. 18 18:50:09 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3146]: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:09 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3147]: Reusing existing ksycoca sept. 18 18:50:09 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3147]: Recreating ksycoca file ("/home/bdouxx/.cache/ksycoca5", version 303) sept. 18 18:50:09 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3147]: Still in the time dict (i.e. deleted files) ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3147]: Saving sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3147]: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3148]: Reusing existing ksycoca sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3148]: Recreating ksycoca file ("/home/bdouxx/.cache/ksycoca5", version 303) sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3148]: Still in the time dict (i.e. deleted files) ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3148]: Saving sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3148]: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3149]: Reusing existing ksycoca sept. 18 18:50:10 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3149]: Recreating ksycoca file ("/home/bdouxx/.cache/ksycoca5", version 303) sept. 18 18:50:11 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3149]: Still in the time dict (i.e. deleted files) ("apps") sept. 18 18:50:11 serveur kbuildsycoca5[3149]: Saving
please see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352854 Either use the patch supplied there, downgrade, or use kservice-9999.
5.14.3 has been released and added to the tree. Please give it a try and report back if the issue is still there.
(In reply to Manuel Rüger from comment #8) > 5.14.3 has been released and added to the tree. Please give it a try and > report back if the issue is still there. Seems to be fixed here. I restarted and deleted .cache. No more slowdown and cached things seem to work ( tested dolphin image thumbnails cache, previously were not working )
solve for me. Thank
5.14.3 fixes the issue.
