Error loading QML file

[alexrojco]

Hey,

I really like the idea of this widget, but I can't get it to work, sadly. I have tried installing, uninstalling many times in all sorts of ways (from the arch AUR, from github and from plasma widget browser) and nothing works.

It always gives me the same error:

Error loading QML file: file:///usr/local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.virtualdesktopbar/contents/ui/Applet.qml:4:1: module "org.kde.plasma.virtualdesktopbar" is not installed.

I'm running the latest version of EndeavorOS (based on Arch Linux) and the latest kde plasma.

Looking at similar issues #21 , I checked the location of libvirtualdesktopbarplugin.so and it is located under /usr/local/lib/qml/org/kde/plasma/virtualdesktopbar .

Thanks for your work! I'm glad at least some people can appreciate your effort))

Alex

Eh, that error again...

I think you can try to specify the QML install directory when running CMake.

First, uninstall the applet and remove all files from the build directory. Then, do this:

cd build
cmake -DQML_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib/qt/qml ..
make
sudo make install

And restart the panel: plasmashell --replace & disown Or, if you are using Latte: latte-dock --replace & disown

No way, it worked!

Thank you so much for the fast reply!

Your widget is amazing! Keep up the good work!

Hello there,

I'm facing this issue as well, but after following your suggestion, I still get the exact same error message. I have checked #21, and libvirtualdesktopbarplugin.so does exists in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/virtualdesktopbar, before I followed your suggestion.

After uninstalling the applet, these files are gone of course, and since I changed the install directory on CMAKE, now these files are properly installed on /usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/plasma/virtualdesktopbar/.

Restarted plasma, and the PC, but still the same error message.

I'm using KDE Neon with every updates installed.

Hope my English makes sense, and if you would point me to the right solution, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

This seems to be a correct location for KDE neon and Ubuntu. It should be fine.

And actually, I've just tried installing the applet on a fresh KDE neon install, and it works correctly, without any errors. I'm really sorry, but I have no idea why it doesn't work in your case.

Hi. I did it but this problem persists. QML: file:///usr/local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.virtualdesktopbar/contents/ui/Applet.qml:4:1: module "org.kde.plasma.virtualdesktopbar" is not installed

Hi, I had the same problem in Solus.

But the qt folder installation is different from ubuntu, then I change cmake -DQML_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib/qt/qml .. to cmake -DQML_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib/qt5/qml ..

and it works

I had the same problem, tried all the solutions on this page and nothing worked. It turns out that I had to restart after installing the plasmoid with default paths. I couldn't run plasmashell --replace & disown because it says "Unknown option 'replace'."

So that might be the solution for some users, just restart. (logging out and logging in may also work, I don't know how KDE Plasma works)

@wsdfhjxc I wanted to thank for all your effort to make this plugin. Keep up the great content!
