Description Felia 2016-09-24 14:35:35 UTC

When i try to start KTouch, it opens a blank window (headline says either “ktouch“ or “typewriting trainer“).
From researching this bug, some users have claimed that installing the package qtdeclarative4-kqtquickcharts-1 solved the problem. But both this package and ktouch itself are on the newest version.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open ktouch
2. wait
3. nope, it's really a blank screen.

Actual Results:  
blank screen.

Expected Results:  
show me the ktouch program

Linux Mint 17.2 rafaela
Linux 3.16.0-38-generic x86_64

Start ktouch from a terminal windows and see if there is a error message.

This is most likely a distribution problem, you should file a bug there instead:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint

I can run ktouch just fine, including from the packages of my distribution (openSUSE).

Hi,

when i start it from the terminal, it gives me a blank screen, but also an error message in the terminal (much more useful than a blank screen...)

~~~
So i tried to install org.kde.plasma.core, but it can't be found...?

I now also filed the bug report to

Comment 3 Sebastian Gottfried 2016-11-09 14:18:35 UTC

The Qt Quick module "org.kde.plasma.core" is part of kde-runtime, which may or may not called that way in your distribution.

Comment 4 Felia 2016-11-09 16:26:27 UTC

It worked!

i installed kde-runtime which created all the files the error message listed missing, and the program starts as desired!

Thank you!
