KDE spamming "Connection Ethernet activated" over and over

Hi,
just reinstalled arch for like the fifth time and running into a new issue here where upon connecting to my ethernet or even wifi, I get spammed continuously with "Connection [Wi-Fi/Ethernet) activated". Don't know what the heck to do. Thanks

Re: KDE spamming "Connection Ethernet activated" over and over

Post your system journal of an affected boot 

sudo journalctl -b

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

I assume you have multiple concurrent services running fighting for the device, what's your output of 

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Re: KDE spamming "Connection Ethernet activated" over and over

No colliding services, but the journal is useless - don't copy out of the pager.

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

Forgive me why is copying out of the terminal useless, at least in this case, but ix.io is not?

Re: KDE spamming "Connection Ethernet activated" over and over

Not the terminal, but the pager.
You copied a truncated version of the first page of the journal.

Feeding the journal into ix.io will actually provide all of it.
You can also redirect into a file and post that somewhere or take any approach that gets the full text (whan copying out of the pager will not)

So like, where the heck do I get the url to the ix.io. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Or give me a link to read at, just tryna escape the bloatwareof windows and the useless utilities from other distros. I've used ubuntu and fedora in the past so I'm facepalming trying to understand this stuff. There was one video I saw on youtube about ix.io but I wasn't following.. thanks again

Re: KDE spamming "Connection Ethernet activated" over and over

If you run the command I posted in #4 that will upload your journal to ix.io and print the url in return.

Re: KDE spamming "Connection Ethernet activated" over and over

There's a quota - if the spam is really bad the output will be far too long to be accepted.
Redirect the journal into some file and upload that, you might have to use some google drive or wetransfer if it's really big.

Re: KDE spamming "Connection Ethernet activated" over and over

It's 428MB - yeah, that's beyond any quota…
The reason is (probably the 4419 crashes of kded within 3h (so basically all the time and in a row)

They all kinda look like

So in the kscreen plugin.

kcmshell5 kded

and there disable the kscreen plugin to stop this madness.

As for the cause:
What's the output of 

xrandr -q

and your xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General ?

Also to be sure: you didn't conduct some partial update, did you?
