Could you confirm if my Plasma log's warning are benign?

Hello everyone, I just have a simple question this time:

I have captured a sample of my plasmashell’s journal logs at boot, may some experts be willing to give me some advice on whether the following entries are benign or if they’re indicative of an instability…

Thank you very much in advance ! :slight_smile:

I don’t see anything worse than usual (unfortunately).

Would you mean these warnings are commonly usual and harmless ? :smiley:

…I mean exactly what I said?

The implication of your question is that we’re crazy for allowing this and there should be no warnings, and in general I would agree. But it’s easier said than done, and some of them truly are harmless, just pointless noise that hides real issues and worries users do go poking around without knowing how things work.

Time and energy for work on minor things are quite finite, so if you’d like to help out here to get some of these warnings addressed, we’d welcome the assistance.

Alright I understand, thanks for your response.
