Clone this github instead. This is not made by me, all this does is makes the fix for the error you are getting.

If you would prefer to edit the source code yourself, check out the commit here: https://github.com/TheM1Stery/wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin/commit/fbda175be3b93458ec06c9a1db507b2855e4caa1

If you make that change, you should have it working. Its easier to just clone that github repo though.

It did work! thx u so much! ^^

I would leave this issue open because this should be merged into the main repo. Users are having this same error with this alternative repo consistently fixing it.

Did you actually clone the repo, or did you just copy and paste the instructions from the repo I linked? The repo that I linked doesn’t update the instructions since it’s meant to be part of this repo. To get it to work:

Remove the files you currently have.

Replace the first line in the instructions to:

git clone https://github.com/TheM1Stery/wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin Then follow other instructions as posted.

Yep, had a feeling that would be an issue.

About scenes not working, that seems to have happened fairly recently. I am still trying to figure out that one myself. I actually opened an issue about it that’s still open. It’s the one right before yours.

It might have been a KDE Plasma update. This project doesn’t seem very actively maintained, so the update might have broken something. I’ll reply to you if I find something out.

Until then, here is a link to the issue I opened: https://github.com/catsout/wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin/issues/294
