OpenSUSE Tumbleweed: Force Blur no longer works

[Haraven]

Describe the bug As of today, after updating my system, the Force Blur desktop effect is no longer applied and doesn't show up under Desktop Effects anymore.

I've tried rebooting. I've also tried reinstalling by deleting these 2 files:

• /usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kwin/effects/configs/kwin_forceblur_config.so
• /usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kwin/effects/plugins/forceblur.so

rebuilding the source, and then reinstalling using the steps in the readme. The effect still doesn't show up.

To Reproduce

1. Install OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
2. Update it (sudo zypper refresh && sudo zypper dup). Restart if zypper recommends it
3. Download the kwin-effects-forceblur source, compile it and install it (see this for needed dependencies)
4. Try to find the effect under Desktop Effects - it should be missing

Expected behavior The effect should be enabled and available under Desktop Effects.

System information

• OS: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
• Plasma version: 6.0.4
• Kwin-effects-forceblur version: latest git (v1.2.0)

Can't reproduce. Works for me on a fresh installation.

While trying to figure out what packages I needed to install, I noticed that I had to delete the whole build directory, otherwise the linker would fail. Maybe try doing that if you haven't.

I can confirm that deleting the build directory and then running the installation steps again worked.

In case anyone else runs into this issue, don't forget to restart after reinstalling kwin-effects-forceblur :)

I'll close this issue now.

Thank you!
