Journalctl gets spammed with xdp-kde-notification

Hi,

every minute or so I have several of these entries in the output of journalctl


Nov 01 14:23:20 opensuse xdg-desktop-portal-kde[2219]: xdp-kde-notification: RemoveNotification called with parameters:
Nov 01 14:23:20 opensuse xdg-desktop-portal-kde[2219]: xdp-kde-notification:     app_id:  ""
Nov 01 14:23:20 opensuse xdg-desktop-portal-kde[2219]: xdp-kde-notification:     id:  "e07aaf56-35a5-4db3-96d8-31fc305cf28e"


Anybody an idea how get rid of this?

Thanks a lot in advance

Post the journal of the offending process: journalctl -b 0 _PID=2219

Remove the package: zypper remove xdg-desktop-portal-kde

Only needed for Flatpak, which I don’t use?

xdg-desktop-portal-kde is recommended, not needed by flatpak. If you don’t use flatpak run ‘zypper remove --clean-deps flatpak’.

got some more spamming of xdg-desptop-portal, which i also removed and that removed than flatpak as well.
