Description Christian C 2017-11-23 19:27:22 CET
Description of problem:

Some error messages are displayed in /var/log/messages when plasma is started :

The problem seems well known on https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=139299 and the solution proposed :

# cd /usr/share/kservicetypes5/
# ln -s kwinscript.desktop kwin-script.desktop

works for me.

Comment 1 Jüri Ivask 2017-11-28 18:16:56 CET
Valid also for Cauldron and to get rid of all error messages had to add also:
ln -s kwineffect.desktop kwin-effect.desktop
