Plasma 6 Digital Clock widget is missing KDE-PIM calendar integration

[jansol]

Describe the bug

The Digital Clock widget in the plasma status bar shows a calendar when clicked, but the option to show calendars from the KDE PIM suite is missing.

Steps To Reproduce

services.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;
programs.kde-pim = {
  enable = true;
  kmail = true;
  kontact = true;
  merkuro = true;
};

Expected behavior

If programs.kde-pim.enable = true;, the KDE PIM event source should be listed in available plugins for the calendar of the Digital Clock widget. Or at the very least if Merkuro is also enabled via the corresponding module option.

Add a :+1: reaction to issues you find important.

[K900]

It's part of kdepim-addons, which is, confusingly, a separate package, and pulls in most of Plasma, which is why it's not enabled by default.

[jansol]

Ouch, that is inconvenient...

[K900]

We could add an option for programs.kde-pim.addons or something, I guess.

[jansol]

How much does it add on top of whatever is pulled in by the plasma6 module?

[K900]

Not a lot, the problem is that you may want KDEPIM on top of not Plasma.

[jansol]

Right, but how much value does kdepim-addons have on top of Not Plasma?

[K900]

A considerable amount, it's a grab bag of random nonsense that doesn't fit into any other package, so it has plugins for a bunch of other things too.

[jansol]

Hmm yea, looks like a bit of a mess... For a lack of easier options, maybe it would make indeed sense to have a programs.kde-pim.addons and have it default to true iff the plasma6 module is enabled? Then it would work as expected with Plasma and not clutter Not Plasma unnecessarily.

[K900]

If we do that, we should just set kde-pim.addons.enable in the Plasma module, as we already do for kde-pim.enable. It's better than cursed contextual defaults.

[jansol]

Oh, I'd missed that part somehow. Yeah that would make sense then. Although I assume that would then always unconditionally pull in all 3 applications from the kde-pim module?

[K900]

It doesn't have to, technically? We could just have them in the store and not expose them in the user environment. Or we could chop up the addons package

[jansol]

I guess splitting up the package is the actual sensible choice. I'll have a look at how bad that could possibly be when I find the time. Could be nice to just bundle the extensions directly with their respective applications where that doesn't introduce new dependencies.

[monkiki]

Any current workaroud?

[K900]

Install kdepim-addons.

[monkiki]

Already installed, but I don't see the option in Digital Clock nor see any event in Digital Clock calendar.

[K900]

How did you install it?

[monkiki]

I tried from command line, but it seems it was already installed.

Using Kubuntu 24.10

[K900]

Uhh, excuse me? Why are you reporting issues from Kubuntu on a NixOS bug tracker?

[monkiki]

Sorry, you are true: I didn't realize
