Hi guys, im new so please forgive me my english in the first place and my netiquette.
Just noticed that everytime i start kate is really slow to open, tried to start it in terminal and gives me this message (i dont know if its related) QObject::connect: No such signal QDBusAbstractInterface::DeviceAdded(QString) in /home/main-builder/pkgwork/sr
c/solid/src/solid/devices/backends/upower/upowermanager.cpp:52
QObject::connect: No such signal QDBusAbstractInterface::DeviceRemoved(QString) in /home/main-builder/pkgwork/
src/solid/src/solid/devices/backends/upower/upowermanager.cpp:53
do you have any advise?
Ignore that it only a process step.
Because you are running it in terminal so it shows every process step which is running in background.
You can also check if you write something in kate then you see something changed in terminal also so never mind it only shows background process.
And welcome to forum

Thanks for the welcome, so you have any ideas why kate needs like 10sec to start?
In my case kate take less than 3sec . It is because of it's protocol

Sadly there is no solution to this given in the thread, but it seems to be the same issue 
That being said, startup is almost instant for me when I launch it 
What does
systemctl status upower
return?

This looks like a local app source, which shouldn’t be a system problem. Possibly a Kate setting is responsible.
You should provide the exact terminal output, properly formatted and add your system info, as expected.

Hi, thanks all for the answer, the problem is the same i think cause even dolphin needs so much time to open/start.

Sorry need a bit to learn how to post in the forum, have mercy.
If you include terminal outputs in your post please use the proper output format in your post. Using "~" 3 times above and "~" 3 times below the text block will provide a readable, raw look.

Then it may be a bug in several places. Check at kde bug tracker
of the error messages (if any)
Is it a locally installed program?

If I experience slowdowns in programs opening of file transfers taking longer I usually perform a full btrfs balance and that usually fixes me up.

Its the kate installed by default, tried to balance btrfs but not resolved the problem, i will check the kde bug tracker, i can just add that the installation is relatively new .
I start to suspect you are a web bot.

What is this thing?
If you want to just troll the forum I think it is offending. This is not a fun park.

According to our lorad and savoir wikipedia Upower is a power manager for Linux
Yes. Commonly installed in system, not in user’s $HOME 
The question was obviously towards OP and I will wait for one.

ye but i did not installed or copy kate, im using the preinstalled one. Im not a bot nor i want to make you lose time. Anyway i just installed a new m2 nvme and magically, maybe reconnecting some hdd (just guessing) seems to be more responsive, so i think its resolved for now at least. Can i ask you a way to clone and extend the actual btrfs disk to a bigger one (the nvme )^
What does this word mean?
If it is a “yeah”, to what question confirms positive?

That i understand your position but i m not using kate locally cause i never copied or downloaded it, after that if you say me that he's preinstalled in that way i can confirm your question positively. Anyway about btrfs ill follow your link, thanks
I have never said you are using kate locally.
Let’s forget it.
The trolling is enough.
