Version: sconosciuto (using 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)) "release 78.2", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.7-9-pae I tried to install a scripted plasmoid trought khotnewstuff but i can't. For example: Try to install lastmoid. I press install and everything works fine. Then i close khotnewstuff window and i get: Installation of /tmp/kde-marcoH3HW4a///98117-Lastmoid01.tar.gz failed! And then: Installation of /tmp/kde-marcoH3HW4a/// failed! The plasmoid isn't installed. plasma(28267)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(-2.14748e+09, 22) plasmapkg(28279)/KZip KZip::openArchive: Invalid ZIP file. Unexpected end of file. plasmapkg(28279)/libplasma Plasma::Package::installPackage: Could not open package file: "/tmp/kde-marcoH3HW4a///98117-Lastmoid01.tar.gz" Installazione di /tmp/kde-marcoH3HW4a///98117-Lastmoid01.tar.gz non riuscita. plasma(28267)/knewstuff (api): Command failed tru::1:1230161430:0:3:1:5 plasma(28267)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(-2.14748e+09, 22)
I can confirm this with kdebase r912512 and kdelibs r912511 from SVN compiled on and up-to-date Kubuntu 8.10 machine: plasmapkg(10847)/KZip KZip::openArchive: Invalid ZIP file. Unexpected end of file. plasmapkg(10847)/libplasma Plasma::Package::installPackage: Could not open package file: "/tmp/kde-astan///98117-Lastmoid01.tar.gz" Installation of /tmp/kde-astan///98117-Lastmoid01.tar.gz failed. plasma(10784)/knewstuff (api): Command failed tru::1:1219665565:0:3:1:5
I can also confirm this bug with KDE 4.2 RC1 on Slackware My error message looks the same as posted above.
An important things. Plasmoid aren't corrupted. If you download them from kde-look , you can unzip them safely without errors
I am having this problem as well in KDE 4.2.1 on two different computers using openSUSE 11.1.
I've just found a workaround in a Kubuntu forum: For some reason you need not only python-plasma (in OpenSuse named python-kdebase4), but also python-dev(el), but there is no dependency indication for that in python-kde4 etc. After I'd installed the packages, I could run the plasmoid scripts - GHNS, however, still claims there were errors - but at least it works.
I'm having a similar issue, but the crash stopped after a update to KDE 4.2.2, in Mandriva 2009.1 cooker (post RC2). Any widget that I try to add give me this dialog saying that the installation failed, but the widget is in fact installed. My language in pt_BR and the problem also happens with Kubuntu Jaunty (march 10 snapshot), with KDE 4.2.2. My problem is better described in this bug below: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49019 Thank you.
