No, but you should have /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/kf5/kio/mtp.so and /usr/share/kservices5/mtp.protocol, those are necessary for the mtp: protocol to work that's used by solid_mtp.desktop. But both are part of kio-extras5 just like solid_mtp.desktop. Yes, i have both of those files.
It looks like it but i don't really know for sure because of the "too many levels of symbolic links" error message. If you type "ls -l" in that directory, you would get a listing display of the linked files: "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jun 4 17:52 XXX.desktop -> XXX.desktop"
Yes, that's a link that points to itself. You made a mistake there.
I didn't make any mistake as I didn't create those symlinks, they were there already thats why i suggested it must have happened during the upgrade to Plasma 5.3 if that is the point when the symlinks are created.
If you try to follow that link, you enter an endless recursion...
I kept a copy of the folder with the links in so i can copy them back if i get some problems.
As mentioned, updates will "copy them back" anyway. I just see no point in replacing them with the KDE4 versions. It would have been sufficient to only copy those that are missing.
Thanks again for your help. This issue all seems resolved for me now but it would be nice to find out how the symlinks got into that state of "too many levels of symbolic links".
Again, you created a symlink that points to itself, which ends in an unlimited recursion of course. The symlink in /usr/share/solid/actions/ should instead point to the file in /usr/share/kde4/solid/action/.
I didn't create the symlinks. I didn't know the '/usr/share/solid/actions/" directory existed until you told me about it.
E.g. run: ln -s /usr/share/kde4/solid/action/digikam-opencamera.desktop /usr/share/solid/actions
Or just use Dolphin (Superuser Mode) to create the symlinks. If you drag'n'drop a file to a different folder, it asks you whether to copy the file, move it, or create a symlink. I'll create them as you suggest over the next chance i get.
Kind Regards, Wolfgang
