KDE Plasma 5:104 crashes when trying to invoke workrave applet v0.1 in Debian 11 (bullseye, testing)

[extralight]

I have tried installing it via all 3 methods:

1. From within kde. Taskbar > Configure Panel > Add widgets > Get New Widgets > Download New Plasma Widgets
2. From store.kde.org/p/1384066/ > Download. kde Taskbar > Configure Panel > Add widgets > Get New Widgets > Install widget from local file.
3. From github using kpackagetool5.

All 3 result in a crash when I double click the installed widget inside 'Add Widgets'.

When I try to restart plasma using $ kstart5 plasmashell

Below is the error that I get:

KDE Plasma is unable to restart with the applet installed.

Thereafter to get back kde, I need to manually delete the applet from /home/u/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/

Now when I run $ kstart5 plasmashell

kde plasma successfully restarts with the following output:

and plasma is back alive.

If someone can tell me what I did wrong?

[wojnilowicz]

Thank you for reporting this issue.

You did nothing wrong. It's a regression (kind of a bug) in KDE Plasma, which already has been reported at KDE Bugtracking System. You can unpack main.zip into ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.workraveApplet/contents/ui/ It would make applet functional, but totally unconfigurable. I found no other workaround, and we have to wait for someone from KDE to fix the Plasma, if ever.

Could you report here what version of Plasma are you using?

[extralight]

With your main.qml, its working correctly including configuration! Thank you.

I am on Plasma 5:104. Debian testing.

And thank you so much for making this app. :-)...

[wojnilowicz]

With your main.qml, its working correctly including configuration! Thank you.

Hmm... strange. Thanks for reporting this finding.

I am on Plasma 5:104. Debian testing.

And thank you so much for making this app. :-)...

You're welcome.

If it's not a problem then please leave this bug opened. I bet there will be others affected, and I think I cannot workaround this bug in a more proper way.

[extralight]

If possible please add your modified file to github and kde store. This app is important to me, thats why I had created an account here to report this bug. I think a majority of the users may not see this bugreport because they will be installing directly from within kde and will feel that the applet was the problem (and not kde) and never even reach here.

Also a crashed kde, and having to manually delete files may be beyond many people and leave their system crippled (as it persists even after a reboot), till they are able to get somebody to troubleshoot.

Regarding it being working 'fully' - Because I am on debian testing, would it be because kde has partially solved the problem?

In your qml if you could make all 3 timers visible (instead of the default 2), even people with bad kde, may not need any config changes.

[extralight]

Its actually still problematic.

I rebooted my pc for the first time after using your main.qml and found that kde could not start. Ran kstart5 plasmashell, but it still did not restart. So I assumed it was because of the changes I had made to it. Deleted /home/u/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.workraveApplet rebooted reinstalled workrave applet copied in your main.qml ran it by just doubleclicking on Taskbar > Configure Panel > Add widgets > Get New Widgets did not make any changes rebooted

still kde did not start automatically ran kstart5 plasmashell kde did not start and gave the following error

Just by luck.

I started a new terminal and ran kstart5 plasmashell again. Now kde started but there were 7 workrave applets in the taskbar!

And this was printed on the terminal:

Hope this info helps you.

Is a temporary workaround possible?

Should I too report this to kde?

With the terminal open with the previous kstart5 plasmashell still running, if I click on the settings button to the right of the clock (task bar bottom right), this error gets printed:

Error: cannot change the containment to AppletsLayout

Removed the 6 extra applets and moved the applet to a better position.

Somehow, now rebooting is no longer causing problems. Both kde and workrave are now working well together. :-)...

Though I am not going to do any right click and 'Configure workrave applet.'

Thankfully somehow, the font height changes that I had made in the beginning has persisted through deletions and uninstallations!

[wojnilowicz]

If possible please add your modified file to github and kde store. This app is important to me, thats why I had created an account here to report this bug. I think a majority of the users may not see this bugreport because they will be installing directly from within kde and will feel that the applet was the problem (and not kde) and never even reach here.

Also a crashed kde, and having to manually delete files may be beyond many people and leave their system crippled (as it persists even after a reboot), till they are able to get somebody to troubleshoot.

I know what you mean, and I'm also concerned, but feel helpless. I cannot devise a workaround that won't cripple the Applet, and don't want to cripple it for users, for which this applet works fine (e.g. because they're not on bleeding edge).

Regarding it being working 'fully' - Because I am on debian testing, would it be because kde has partially solved the problem?

I doubt it, because a fix just landed. I will try to re-approach this issue though.

In your qml if you could make all 3 timers visible (instead of the default 2), even people with bad kde, may not need any config changes.

That's a preference thing. There will be people that would like to disable the 3rd timer, because they may care about screen space and distraction, like myself.

Hope this info helps you.

Not really. The root cause of this bug has already been identified by the core Plasma developer here, and fixed by him too. I understand you wanted to speed up fixing the bug.

Is a temporary workaround possible?

Should I too report this to kde?

As for the multiple applet instantiations, I think if you cannot reproduce it, then it happened by accident. If you can reproduce it, then I would like to know exact steps, so that I can see it on my machine too.

Somehow, now rebooting is no longer causing problems. Both kde and workrave are now working well together. :-)...

Please bear in mind, that other applet might be the only source of your reboots. The fix here affects many more bugs, which means that various applets are affected by this deficiency in Plasma.

Is Workrave Applet translated into your language?

[wojnilowicz]

Closing as it should be fixed in 0.2 version of the Applet.
