i installed kconfig but still nothing, so it must be another package causing that if you could guide me to which one. cheers i also added systemsettings but nothing still... Maybe kde-cli-tools, owner of kcmshell5 (of course, depends on which version of kdenlive you're using), if using the older kde4-based one, you'll want kde-runtime, owner of kcmshell4 (In reply to Rex Dieter from comment #3) > Maybe kde-cli-tools, owner of kcmshell5 i installed kde-cli-tools which comes with kdesu and kpty. this stops the error message but nothing happens. installing plasma-desktop fixes it but i think it is overkill having to install the whole desktop environment just to have this function. don't you think? I'm guessing it's launching the equivalent of: kcmshell5 style If so, that is part of plasma-desktop indeed, but distros are free to modularize these in their own packaging. At this point, it's fairly clear to be a distro-specific issue (and not a kde.org one), I'd suggest you contact them.

You claimed in comment #5 that installing both kde-cli-tools and plasma-desktop fixes it, but now it's not working again? which is it? (In reply to Rex Dieter from comment #11) > You claimed in comment #5 that installing both kde-cli-tools and > plasma-desktop fixes it, but now it's not working again? which is it? i understood from your comment that kde-cli-tools fixes it. so i uninstalled plasma and apparently it doesn't solve it. so we go back to square one. i understand that kdenlive depends on various kde libraries, which is fine. but i think it is crazy having to install the whole plasma desktop to just have that feature. don't you think? or is this a consequence of porting to kf5? if so then this should be documented so that distro packagers add plasma as a dependency or at least an optional one. Ideally, kdenlive wouldn't expose a desktop-specific feature like that, imo. But, tell your distro if they want this to work, they'll need to split out kcm style from plasma-desktop. It's ok you don't understand the technical details, but *they* ought to know.

Arch Linux can add whatever this needs as an optional dep but doesn't need to require it. That message could use an update. KDE Control Center doesn't exist since KDE3 times. |
