The most applications switched to the new category logging system of Qt [0]. That's why you will need to use ksettingsdialog[1]. But it a little bit complecated to select every application an category. As a workaround you can disable debug messages for Qt andkde programs completly: cat ~/.config/QtProject/qtlogging.ini [Rules] *.debug = false Regards, sandro [0] http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qloggingcategory.html [1] http://www.aegiap.eu/kdeblog/2015/05/kdebugsettings-1-0/

Bug#805399: Logged every file name in $HOME to syslog
Package: kded5
Version: 5.15.0-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/kded5
Apparently kded5 got restarted automatically (after killing it, see bug
805320). And after that, it decided to send its log output to syslog.
Quite a bit of output — almost 300,000 lines. All of it at (according to
journalctl) at priority 4 (warning).
That included, at least, logging lines like the following for every file
in my home directory:
Nov 16 18:22:50 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: log_kioremote:
RemoteDirNotify::toRemoteURL(
QUrl("file:///home/anthony/Audio/Monsters_data/b00013.au") )
Nov 16 18:22:50 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: log_kioremote: result => KUrl()
Depending on setup, that's already a privacy violation. Even if not,
receiving a 50MB email from logcheck was *not* welcome.
It then went further, and logged all *activity*. E.g., here is after two
emails were delivered:
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: ()
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]:
("/home/anthony/Maildir/new/1447758191.M94023P12683VFB03I00085B60_0.Zia,S=2252",
"/home/anthony/Maildir/new/1447758191.M922165P12691VFB03I00085B67_0.Zia,S=5625")
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: ()
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: log_kioremote:
RemoteDirNotify::FilesChanged
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: log_kioremote:
RemoteDirNotify::toRemoteURL(
QUrl("file:///home/anthony/Maildir/new/1447758191.M94023P12683VFB03I00085B60_0.Zia,S=2252")
)
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: log_kioremote: result => KUrl()
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: log_kioremote:
RemoteDirNotify::toRemoteURL(
QUrl("file:///home/anthony/Maildir/new/1447758191.M922165P12691VFB03I00085B67_0.Zia,S=5625")
)
Nov 17 06:03:25 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: log_kioremote: result => KUrl()
Again, a privacy violation.
It also seems to log every hotkey executed. E.g., I used my xterm
hotkey, and this hit syslog:
Nov 17 13:01:55 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: org.kde.kurifilter-shorturi: "xterm"
Nov 17 13:01:55 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: org.kde.kurifilter-shorturi: path =
"xterm" isLocalFullPath= false exists= false url= QUrl("xterm")
Nov 17 13:01:55 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: org.kde.kurifilter-ikws: "xterm" :
QUrl("file:xterm") , type = 3
Nov 17 13:01:55 Zia org.kde.kded5[4940]: org.kde.kurifilter-ikws: "xterm"
It appears kded5 is built with a *lot* of debug output turned on—that
really ought not happen without e.g., some --debug option. And remember,
it's currently all at warning priority, not debug.
