Description faragalla 2015-12-17 16:39:10 UTC

I installed Jessie on my Odroid XU4, which is armv7 architecture. I then installed KDE using tasksel. After logging into the desktop, I am unable to add any widgets to the panel either by double clicking on them or clicking then dragging.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Debian 8 on Odroid XU4
2. apt-get update 
3. apt-get upgrade
4. run tasksel and install kde
5. log into KDE and try and add any widget to the panel

Actual Results:  
Widgets can not be added, moved or interacted with. I can however run a widget, such as system monitor, through application launcher.

Expected Results:  
Widgets are moved to panel.

I am using KDE 4.14.2 however, that was not an option while filling out this bug report.

Did you unlock the widgets first? I suggest to use a help forum for these issues.

Hello! Plasma 4 was replaced by Plasma 5 four years ago by the KDE community. In that time we have made great strides in stability and functionality. We are closing all Plasma 4 bugs as most of them are no longer applicable to the new frameworks Plasma 5 is built upon. If you could, please re-test with the latest version of Plasma 5, and submit a new bug to "plasmashell" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
