Description of problem: I'm testing with QEMU+KVM in UEFI mode. There's a weird issue with the Fedora Rawhide KDE Live image (stock live image downloaded directly from a Fedora mirror, not customized in any way): there's a constantly spinning notification for an unnamed unspecified job that's supposedly running, with no progress indication other than that it is running, and that cannot be canceled. It just says "In progress…" in lieu of a description. (I'm using the image to test Calamares, but that appears before I even install Calamares or do any other nonstandard tweaks, so it's clearly not my bug.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20190511.n.0.iso plasma-desktop-5.15.5-1.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: Sometimes (not always) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the live image in QEMU+KVM in UEFI mode: qemu-kvm -bios /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd -m 2048 -display gtk -vga qxl -usb -device usb-tablet -soundhw hda,pcspk -cdrom Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20190511.n.0.iso 2. Look at the Plasma notification area. 3. Click on the ① to see the job notification. Actual results: In step 2, you see a ① (tooltip: "Notifications 1 running job") that does not go away. If you click on it (step 3), it shows a bogus running job with "In progress…" in lieu of a description and a spinning progress bar (i.e., no real progress indication). Pausing it does nothing and it cannot be stopped. And I've had it stick for minutes without ever going away. Expected results: No such ghost job. Additional info: To be honest, I have been unable to figure out where that notification comes from, so I just had to pick a component to blame (plasma-desktop itself) in order to file the bug before it gets forgotten. But it could come from pretty much anything that speaks the Plasma job notification protocol.
I'm experiencing the same problem in F30, running installed (not live) on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 notebook. The OS was reinstalled for unrelated reasons 3 or 4 days ago, and I noticed the above problem occurring not long afterward, which persists across reboots. All installed packages are from the stock repositories or rpmfusion, with the exception of Google Chrome which is installed from Google's provided repository, and no additional desktop environments or other such software has been installed. plasma-desktop-5.15.5-1.fc30.x86_64 Aside from being installed on a laptop rather than being run live with KVM, what I am experiencing is identical to what was previously reported.
Looks like it is indeed akonadi_migration_agent to blame. I'm posting more details to that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1716005 ***
