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 kruler from the menu, Plasma shell freezes until kruler is closed, and then a message "Kdeinit couldn't launch /usr/bin/kruler" appears. Reproducible: Always
I get to here searching on Google for: KDEinit could not launch '/usr/bin/kcharselect' The behavior seems the same when I launch kcharselect from the icon: no mouse-click works in the desktop until I close kcharselect and I then get the error message cited. KDE is 4.14.5 on 64-bit Manjaro Linux. The command in the menu icon is: kcharselect --qwindowtitle %c If I call kcharselect from konsole or run command dialog, without switches, the desktop remains usable and there is no error when closing. If I only change the application command in the icon to kcharselect without switches, the undesired behavior is the same. If I change the icon command to kcharselect and, in 'Advanced Options', change 'D-Bus registration' from the default 'Multiple instances' to 'None', the icon launches kcharselect without the freeze or error on closing. If I make the icon command kcharselect --qwindowtitle %c and leave 'D-Bus registration' at 'None', the behavior seems to be ok, and make 'D-Bus registration' 'Single Instance', the bad behavior results, and make 'D-Bus registration' 'Run Until Finished', freeze occurs but no error message on closing. Thanks.
Git commit 329281ca9ffdee06687acc341e701586355ddd1d by Hrvoje Senjan. Committed on 27/03/2015 at 02:19. Pushed by hrvojes into branch 'Applications/15.04'. 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 these days.
