Bug 373658

may be a packaging issue?

I see a similar issue.

When I click a shortcut with "run in terminal" in plasmashell, it freezes:

When I click the same file from Dolphin, kdeinit5 crashes and after that I get the "KDEInit could not launch konsole" error.

is there more than one konsole installed?
this freeze looks like the issue of wrong dbus service names we had in desktop files at the beginning of kf5 cycle

So far I can replicate this with Kubuntu 16.04 backports of 5.8.4 on both kubuntu and Mint, and in Neon dev edition.

Chakra with plasma 5.8.4 seem to behave as you would expect.

I have now found a solution for my problem: Just say in system settings->applicatins->default applications->Terminal Emulator->Use a different terminal program the path to the konsole program: /usr/bin/konsole.  All works again except that if you edit your icon, it doesn't contain no icon and no name, complains about that, but doesn't overwrite the old settings before you gave them a new name. 
Still work to be done, but good job already, girls and boys.

I also see this bug on Plasma 5.8.4 when using the Kubuntu backports PPA on Ubuntu 16.04. The workaround from Alex Loes works for me.

Apart from small annoyances like this I'm really impressed with the new Breeze icons and look and feel stuff in this release - fantastic work, keep it up!

I think this would benefit from a step-by-step guide on how to reproduce the issue. I can't seem to reproduce this on a release nor git master build.

Also please make sure to post version information from this command 
`kf5-config --version; plasmashell --version; konsole --version`

I was able to reliably reproduce this in Neon dev edition this morning.

Now after doing several updates on that install today to pull in fixes for other issues, I am no longer able to reproduce this issue in Neon dev edition. Nor on a freshly installed Neon release VM.

I wonder if Kai Uwe Broulik can retest in Neon after applying today's updates to see if he gets the same result?

I got also an error message saying "Cannot launch /usr/bin/konsole" when I switch D-Bus from none instance to one or multiple instances.

When I try to place it in systray (also on advanced menu), the konsole ppops up indicating the error message: Warning: Could not find 'ksystraycmd', starting '/bin/bash' instead.  Please check your profile settings.

Steps to reproduce:
- System Settings->Applicatins->Default Applications->Terminal Emulator
- 'Use konsole as terminal application', click Apply
- create a script test.sh with this content:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Should see this in a Konsole window"
- in Dolphin create a 'Link to Application', with: Command:/path/to/test.sh, Advanced Options->Run in Terminal, Do not close when command exits

Try executing test.desktop by double-clicking it in Dolphin - it should show launch feedback but do nothing else

Now apply the workaround (System Settings->Applicatins->Default Applications->Terminal Emulator. Choose 'Use a different terminal program', specify the path to the konsole program: /usr/bin/konsole). Now double-click the desktop file and it'll actually show the konsole window with the command's output

Seems that this could on the Kubuntu/Mint side be a result of the following KDE commit to Kio:

https://cgit.kde.org/kio.git/commit/?id=c784a879eaba0babc6274bc32e761772add3d4f8

Apparently intended to fix similar issues with Konsole 16.08 and above, but in turn breaking this for 16.04.x

Will investigate solutions if this turns out to indeed be the case.

Adding committer. I do not know of a way to test if the installed Konsole supports '-caption' or '-qwindowtitle', but maybe it could try the other, if the first fails?

Or rather remove it altogether? AFAIK konsole overrides the window title anyway, so this looks useless to me.

`konsole -qwindowtitle foo` actually works, and I suppose this feature is useful by showing in the konsole window title, which app it's running.

The best fix might be to add support for -caption to konsole, if we want to support KDE4 and KF5 konsoles and to keep the feature.

(alternatively we need to look up org.kde.konsole.desktop using KService::serviceByDesktopName for instance, and if that works it's the KF5 konsole)

*** Bug 374138 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I made a fresh installation from Mint 18.1 KDE 64 bit.
Now, neither konsole nor xterm opens a window. 
My versions now:
Qt: 5.6.1
KDE Frameworks: 5.28.0
kf5-config: 1.0
plasmashell 5.8.5
Qt: 5.6.1
KDE Frameworks: 5.28.0
Konsole: 16.04.3

After I completely rebooted, all went fine again. It isn't sufficient simply to logout and then login to KDE, you have to reboot the complete machine.

I've just tested this, and it seems to work both with Konsole and /usr/bin/konsole.
