Using 15.04 beta. This is similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344595 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339094 When opening kcharselect from the menu, Plasma shell freezes until kcharselect is closed, and then a message "Kdeinit couldn't launch /usr/bin/kcharselect" appears. Reproducible: Always
Works with Plasma 4, cannot test Plasma 5 right now. But I wonder why it should be different.
Because kcharselect is ported to KF5 in 15.04
Yes, I tested the KF5 port with Plasma 4.
This not only affects kcharselect, but almost all new KF5 apps in 15.04. The following apps can't be launched from the menu: cantor kbruch kiten klettres kturtle kwordquiz step kruler kompare and many of kdegames It looks like the porting missed porting the .desktop files

Unbreak KRun powered startup ..by dropping KDE-specific X-DBUS keywords from kruler's desktop file Klauncher expected the app registered to DBus, but the code was never adjusted for that, and there doesn't seem to be a need to do that.

Antonio, what is the status of comment #4?
(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #6) > Antonio, what is the status of comment #4? These are still broken: - Don't launch at all because of -caption in the command line: kbruch, kturtle - Freeze plasma because of X-DBUS-StartupType: kruler - Both issues: kompare
(In reply to Antonio Rojas from comment #7) > These are still broken: By "still" I mean in RC, don't know if any has been fixed since.
Should this be reopened for the still broken applications or should I open new bugs (see comment #7)?
Ideally open new bugs. Tracking multiple issues in one report is always hard. Thanks
