Deleting a virtual desktop doesn't reflected to plasmoid #44

Closed sahinakkaya closed 3 years ago

smaller Above one is Virtual Desktop Bar and the below one is default Pager plasmoid. My environment:

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
DE: Kubuntu 18.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Qt Version: 5.9.5

I can't reproduce it. Does it also happen when the applet is placed directly in a panel, instead of being a desktop widget? To be honest, the plasmoid is primarily intended to be used inside a panel, but it definitely shouldn't display removed desktops...

Also, could you try this in the terminal?

plasmashell -d --replace & disown

This will restart the Plasma desktop and start printing logged debug information in the terminal. Now, when you remove a desktop through the plasmoid, does any QML-related error appear in the log afterwards?

By the way, thanks for the effort of recording a preview GIF, I appreciate that. And I'm sorry that you've been encountering numerous problems with the applet, one after another. But it's been a while since I last used Kubuntu 18.04, and maybe that issue is directly related to older Qt or KDE Frameworks versions, as I can't reproduce the issue on latest 20.04 LTS.

It also happens when I put it to the panel.
I can't try plasmashell command but I really want. When I try it, it says Unknown option 'replace'. probably because I have an old version of it. (plasmashell 5.12.9)

As you have already mentioned, most of the issues I'm facing are related with older versions of programs that I'm using. Maybe it's time to upgrade my system :) But I have so many configurations currently and I'm afraid to upgrade.

... start printing logged debug information in the terminal.

I can provide this information if you are interested and tell me a way to do it but I'm not going to leave this issue open because the problem is on my side. Thanks for all the effort!

Ok, since the --replace option is unavailable, you can do this:

killall plasmashell; plasmashell -d & disown

Then clear the terminal contents (Ctrl+L) and clear scrollback (option in the right-click menu). Once the terminal is more or less empty, try to remove a desktop in the same way as you did earlier. If, for some reason, there's still too much information noise in the terminal, you can press Ctrl+Shift+F and search for virtualdesktopbar, so it's easier to recognize QML-related errors.

I didn't get any errors when I remove it. There is nothing related with virtualdesktopbar in the output at all.

wsdfhjxc commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the report, it seems quite weird. In that case, I'll spin a Kubuntu 18.04 virtual machine and try to address the issue.

wsdfhjxc commented 3 years ago

Ok, I think it's been fixed.

Yeah, you're amazing!
