Version: 4.1.3 Beta (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages I have recently upgraded to the beta version of KDE from KDE 4.1.0. I have noticed that my old desktop widgets are missing and all the widgets and panels become unresponsive after about 15 minutes of inactivity.
Were you using custom (non-default) widgets ? Are you using KDE 4.1.3 (stable) or KDE 4.2(unstable/beta) . If you're using 4.2unstable can you point what version ? . Thanks
Sorry. I meant version 4.2. I was confused because the latest version on the list of applications was 4.1.3. Thanks.
What widgets did you "lost" in the upgrade ?

The "Now Playing" plasmoid is inside the "kdeplasma-addons" package. Did you have it installed? And about the "clock" there are a lot of clocks :) . The fuzzy and the binary clock are inside the "kdeplasma-addons" package too. The digital and analog clock are part of the base install.

I did have the kdeplasma-addons package installed and it is still registered as installed.
And, can't you re-add the widgets you lost ? Does they appear in the "Add Widget" dialog? May be they were lost in the transition because some config change between 4.1 and 4.2.

When I add it, it says "This object could not be created for the following reason: Could not find the requested component:null".
What version are you using? 4.1.85 ? 4.1.86 ? (you can find it, running "dolphin --version" in Konsole). May be a packaging bug (Debian) too.

I'm downloading the latest alpha release of Kubuntu. That might be more compatible with this beta.
I was unable to upgrade the system to the latest release of Kubuntu. I would have to completely reinstall the system to upgrade. Any suggestions besides upgrading?
Hello this should a problem coming from the packages you are using. Are you sure that your kde plasma-addons is updated too ? Which version the package say for it ? Which version you have for the kubunu-default-settings too ? it's adding some non officiel plasmoid to the default conf of plasma and perhaps they are not present anymore in 4.2 or not compatible u can try : plasma && rm ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* && plasma (or replace .kde by .kde4) and say us if you have still a problem. Cheers

I still get the same errors.
""This object could not be created for the following reason: Could not find the requested component:null"." this is obviously a downstream packaging issue. note that binary compat was not kept between 4.1 and 4.2, so all applets need to be built against the new version.
