Have you followed instructions from here? Last command:

# install lib
sudo make install

You can also verify if libs are installed in about section:

Yes i did follow the guide but know i don't remember if i skipped something important, should i redo "sudo make install"? By the way this is my about section

I can't manually check the plugin lib

hyperstown commented 1 year ago

In my case after system update, plugin lib stopped working so I removed build folder from repo run git pull and redid steps from readme since git submodule update --init.

hyperstown commented 1 year ago

Probably sudo make install would suffice but I rebuild everything in case something changed.

Yuki338n commented 1 year ago

I tried but still doesn't change anything, still in the info tab of wallpaper engine plugin it says under Version: "warning: The lib version is inconsistent with the plugin version"

image Somehow, your plugin version is newer. You'd probably want them to match.

RabanalGsus commented 1 year ago

I am having the same problem but I can't get my head around on how to downgrade it :/, if you get to a solution please let me know! Thanks in advance :D

So I succeeded working this problem around and getting a fix, for whatever reason when built from the command line I found this error to be consistent in my system (AMD 4800HS and GTX 1650ti, running Manjaro KDE) not mattering how many times I did it or undid it, but then it came to my mind the fact that Manjaro has the marvellous pamac manager from which I installed it, and surprise surprise it worked!! So it is not a definitive fix but it is a workaround if you have Manjaro ;)

So it is not a definitive fix but it is a workaround if you have Manjaro

So, you just used the AUR package then, which others using Arch based distros can use with their AUR wrapper of choice (yay, Paru, etc.) for anyone wondering how to do it in the future without using pamac or Manjaro.

RabanalGsus commented 1 year ago

Yep you are right, still wondering why building it from command line did not work as I was following the instructions. Maybe it is something to do with Arch based distros :/

Jelgnum commented 1 year ago

My best guess is that a dependency may have been missing, it does work on arch afaik because I have been using it for a while and have recompiled/rebuilt it in the past week.

what pkg did you install from aur,I install "aur/plasma5-wallpapers-wallpaper-engine" from aur,its version is 0.5.4,and the version of script is 0.5.5,but they all are inconsistent

cesarhuret commented 1 year ago

Getting the same error, tried installing via the AUR but doesn't seem to work. Also tried downloading the plugin from the Discover tab to install plugins, but the download keeps failing :sob:

I have solved the issue,I deleted all of files and installed it with aur,youd better delete the file according to README

Ok, what were all the steps you specifically followed after uninstalling? Did you just run: yay -S plasma5-wallpapers-wallpaper-engine?
