Description Xeno Idaltu 2019-08-17 11:54:13 UTC

I tried to install a Konsole colorscheme from KDE Store using via Appearance Tab.

Message I got:
"Configuration File Is Invalid: konsole.knsrc"



OS: Debian Stable 10.0.0 (Code Buster)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.3

SOLVED UPDATE:

In case someone reads this and the bug hasn't been resolved.

1) Go to $HOME/.config/
2) Create a file named konsole.knsrc
3) Inside the konsole.knsrc file copy and paste this:

[KNewStuff3]
ProvidersUrl=https://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml
Categories=Konsole Color Schemes
TargetDir=konsole
AcceptHtmlDownloads=false
Uncompress=archive 


4) Save. Now you can download your desired colorscheme.

That file should be installed by your distro's package installer.

Comment 3 Kurt Hindenburg 2019-08-17 15:54:00 UTC

and to be clear, did Konsole actually crash?  I just get error message and nothing shows up in the download dialog.

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2019-08-19 15:34:43 UTC

I cannot reproduce the issue either. That's because the file was corrected in a later version. See https://cgit.kde.org/konsole.git/tree/data/konsole.knsrc

This is the drawback to using a distro that provides only old versions of KDE software. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Step_2:_Make_sure_it_hasn.27t_already_been_fixed
