Hello, I am 4.8 user. I don't know why, my KDE always showing dialog contains:

The desktop entry of type
none
is unknown.


It is easy but annoying. Can someone give me advice how to fix it? Thank you

doe this only happen at startup or at random times during your session?

try running the following in krunner

Code: Select all

kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental

if at startup look at your autostart entries systemsettings -> startup & shutdown-> autostart, one of the "Desktop File" entries may be missing a type= entry in the ___________.desktop file

Only at startup.

Okay, I will try... I will report here if done.

I have opened my autorun config, but I don't know where is the wrong:



That is the screenshot. I am glad to get answer

since there are only 2 apps enabled try disabling them and then restarting KDE, if the dialog doesn't appear then one of them is your problem

I've remove the 2 things, but the error diaog still appear at startup. I don't know, but few days ago I've deleted one item in the Autoruns. I forgot what. Is there any other solution? Thank you for answering me.

so you think removing something a few days ago in autorun caused it?

you ran kbuildsycoca --noincremental ?

are you starting KDE with a restored or an empty session?

Does this occur under a new user?

No, I am the only one user in my machine.

I ran empty session. But it is still appear.

Thank you, but is there any other solution?

Maybe the line bolded is my problem... Thank you admin. I am glad an admin comes and help me

I'm not so sure... nothing concrete. Could you provide a screenshot of the error dialog in question please, as it may provide more details?

Okay, sorry for late replying... This is my screenshot:



Thank you, Admin...

no, you need to create and login as a new user to determine if it's a system wise or a single user issue

Please check ~/.kde4/Autostart and ~/.config/autostart for invalid *.desktop files.
Also, try clearing the content of ~/.kde4/share/config/session/ outside KDE. Please note that your session prior to logout, including any running applications will not be restored if you do this (you will get a new session). None of your application settings or data will be affected though.
