Sentry Crash Report:

Description Antonio Rojas 2015-03-06 07:46:56 UTC

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

Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2015-03-06 11:04:28 UTC

Works with Plasma 4, cannot test Plasma 5 right now. But I wonder why it should be different.

Comment 2 Antonio Rojas 2015-03-06 11:30:55 UTC

Because kcharselect is ported to KF5 in 15.04

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2015-03-06 17:55:48 UTC

Yes, I tested the KF5 port with Plasma 4.

Comment 4 Antonio Rojas 2015-03-06 22:26:49 UTC

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

Git commit 8a9633827621390cde49b2493a8dc08194d5c2d7 by Hrvoje Senjan.
Committed on 27/03/2015 at 02:24.
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.

Antonio, what is the status of comment #4?

> 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

Comment 8 Antonio Rojas 2015-04-07 21:42:51 UTC

> These are still broken:

By "still" I mean in RC, don't know if any has been fixed since.

Comment 9 Antonio Rojas 2015-04-15 17:51:49 UTC

Should this be reopened for the still broken applications or should I open new bugs (see comment #7)?

Comment 10 Martin Klapetek 2015-05-26 14:13:10 UTC

Ideally open new bugs. Tracking multiple issues in one report is always hard.

Thanks
