Bug ID: 511469
Summary: Application menu occasionally fails to update after
installing or removing applications until KSycoca
cache rebuild
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sometimes after installing or uninstalling applications, the Plasma application
menu does not refresh automatically.
Newly installed applications may be missing from their categories (though they
are searchable), and removed applications may remain listed.
Running kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental or re-logging in always fixes the issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install an application (either a native package or a Flatpak), for example:
sudo pacman -S obs-studio
or
flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio
2. Open the Application Menu and browse to its category (e.g. Multimedia).
Sometimes the new app appears immediately, but other times it does not.
3. If missing, run:
kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental
The app appears after the cache rebuild.
4. Occasionally, uninstalled applications also remain visible until the cache
rebuild.
OBSERVED RESULT
The application menu sometimes fails to refresh, showing outdated entries until
KSycoca is manually rebuilt or the session is restarted.
EXPECTED RESULT
The application menu should always update automatically after installing or
removing applications.
