ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Tommy Beauclair 2019-06-16 22:05:45 UTC

I decompressed the neon's plasma-workspace and effectively no binary for kuiserver5

Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2019-06-17 01:21:14 UTC

"kuiserver" was removed from plasma-workspace with the notifications rewrite. Reassigning to Plasma developers to check if this was intended.

Comment 3 Tommy Beauclair 2019-06-17 01:23:54 UTC

So is there a way to have file operation progress?

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2019-06-17 02:13:11 UTC

If I understand the code correctly, a new "nofiticationmanager" process should be responsible to manage the kuiserver D-Bus API. On my system, however, such a process is not running.

Please wait for a Plasma developer to clarify.

Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2019-06-17 02:14:37 UTC

"notificationmanager" is the correct name, see https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/tree/libnotificationmanager/CMakeLists.txt

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2019-06-17 04:09:02 UTC

kuiserver5 was indeed removed, so let's use this to track not getting notifications for progress tracking as expected.

Please see the linked bug report for instructions on how to provide debug information on this issue.
