KDED5(8) kded5 User's Manual KDED5(8) NAME kded5 - KDE daemon - triggers Sycoca database updates when needed. SYNOPSIS kded5 [--check] DESCRIPTION kded5 consolidates several small services in one process. These are mostly D-Bus services provided by KDED modules, but it also manages sycoca (a bi- nary cache of servicetypes, MIME types and services used by KService) and KConfig update scripts as needed. For sycoca, it monitors the directories containing .desktop files. When a file is added/removed, it waits 5 seconds (in case of a series of updates), and then launches kbuildsycoca5 to update the sycoca. For KConfig, it checks newly-installed update files, i.e. the *.upd files used to update configuration files of users when the configuration file formats changes, and runs the KConfig update utility to perform the up- dates. Those tasks are also run when kded5 is started to ensure that the user con- figuration is up to date. You do not normally need to run kded5 directly; Plasma desktop sessions run it automatically, and it is started on demand when an application attempts to use a D-Bus interface provided by it or one of its modules. OPTIONS --check Check the sycoca database, updating it if necessary, and exit. CONFIGURATION kded5 can be configured with the kded5rc ini-style configuration file. On UNIX(R) systems, this can be found at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kded5rc; if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, this defaults to ~/.config/kded5rc. Configuration file entries are read on-demand, so changes can be made while kded5 is running. However, all the current configuration options only re- ally affect the startup behaviour of kded5. The [General] section has the following options: CheckSycoca Whether to update sycoca at startup (default: true). CheckUpdates Whether to perform outstanding KConfig updates at startup (default: true). CheckFileStamps Whether to check file timestamps when performing the initial sycoca up- date (default: true). See the documentation for kbuildsycoca5 for more details. DelayedCheck Whether to delay the initial sycoca update until about a minute after starting (default: false). Each module also has a [Module-name] section in kded5rc, where name is the name of the module's desktop file without the .desktop extension. This con- tains an autoload option that specifies whether the module should be auto- matically loaded when kded5 is started (default: false). Note that this setting can also be changed via kded5's D-Bus interface. SEE ALSO kbuildsycoca5(8), kdeinit5(8) BUGS Please use KDE's bugtracker[1] to report bugs.
