kf.package: Invalid metadata for package structure "Plasma/Applet" #18

Closed ameris1 closed 6 months ago

ameris1 commented 6 months ago

Trying to install it via terminal and this is the output I'm getting

kpackagetool5 -i  ./
kf.package: Invalid metadata for package structure "Plasma/Applet"
Package type "Plasma/Applet" not found
Successfully installed /home/notsure/Downloads/plasma6-window-title-applet-0.4

Doesn't show up in my widget list after. Pretty sure this is dependency issue on my side. Dunno where else to post this.

Because this is a package for plasma 6. Either use kpackagetool6 or plasmapkg2. kpackagetool5 is for Plasma 5.

I'm using Plasma 6 and am following the instructions as you posted

I'm using KDE Neon which version is

When I try kpackagetool6 -i ./:

qt.dbus.integration: QDBusConnection: error: could not send signal to service "" path "/KPackage/" interface "org.kde.plasma.kpackage" member "packageInstalled": Invalid object path: /KPackage/ Successfully installed /home/notsure/.local/share/kpackage/generic/org.kde.windowtitle/

Yes this should've installed the applet. Was it not installed? There has been a bug in kpackagetool6 as well. plasmapkg2 works every time though, so it should work just fine. Use plasmapkg2 -i ..

Thanks for pointing out that it was left without modifications. I am quite shocked it went unnoticed up until now.

lol now I'm getting an error I shouldn't be getting on KDE Neon's side

Command 'plasmapkg2' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install plasma-framework

Needless to say I have plasma-framework (as it is standard for KDE Plasma).

Now I have another bug to report...

(Also, no, it didn't work using kpackagetool6 throwing that error I posted)

You can manually install the applet by placing the cloned folder into ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ and renaming it to org.kde.windowtitle. Then run systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell to restart the shell and it should show up.

That worked. Thank you!

I had issues too, but kpackagetool6 --type Plasma/Applet --install "$dir" seems to have worked for me - just need to specify that this is an applet. @dhruv8sh I would encourage you to add this to the readme, especially with plasmapkg2 not in many kde6 installs.
