Description Greg Hines 2015-06-16 16:11:00 UTC

I recent installed PlaidChat - https://www.npmjs.com/package/plaidchat - using npm. I can then run the program from the command line. I then put the program in my menu via kmenuedit with the command "/usr/bin/plaidchat". When I click on the icon I get the error:
KDEInit could not launch 'ksystraycmd':
Could not open library '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_ksystraycmd'.
Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_ksystraycmd: (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_ksystraycmd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

I have found some discussion online about this error message but nothing mentioned in the posts has helped me figure out what is going on.

Probably very related to
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347540
but that post has no mention about things working via command line.

Reproducible: Always

Can you please add the .desktop file which you use for launching plaidchat from the menu?

Comment 2 Greg Hines 2015-06-17 09:26:11 UTC

thank you - I realized that the .desktop file contained the line
Exec=ksystraycmd /usr/bin/plaidchat %u   

After removing ksystraycmd, everything works. But why would kmenuedit insert ksystraycmd - I definitely didn't put it in. Is this already a known bug?

> But why would kmenuedit insert ksystraycmd

There is a checkbox in kmenuedit to "Place in system tray". It should be removed if ksystraycmd isn't ported to Plasma 5.

See also bug 344168.

[KMenuEdit] Remove ksystraycmd stuff

Doesn't work and not that we want applications in the tray anyway.
