maybe kjobserver died? Thank for your reply, Nate. But I'm lost. What is the kjobserver? What can I do to find the cause? It's not as if the notification dialog is used from time to time until something dies. It's always that way. I've this problem for, let's say, since about a year, and I'm quite convinced that it must be some configurational issue or some package that interferes the process as everything was fine for the first hours after setting up a new system installation. Dunno... Heh yeah I was kind of thinking out loud. :) Can you check something for me? System Settings > Notifications > Application progress > make sure that "Show in Task Manager" and "Show in notifications" are checked All of them are checked. I don't think I ever disabeled those. A wild guess: As I want to use kstart from time to time, I installed kde-runtime. A lot of dependencies as I remember. Could that have caused the issue? > As I want to use kstart from time to time, I installed kde-runtime.
Can you clarify? KDE Neon should already have everything you need for a full Plasma environment. What prompted you to install additional things?
When I want to restart Plasma without restarting the whole system I do kquitapp5 plasmashell kstart plasmashell kstart isn't installed by default. What I tried now: uninstall kde-runtime then sudo apt-get --purge autoremove Then I copied a large folder, no change. Next test: I created a new user on the same machine, started a huge copy task and got the progress notification right where it belongs. So I guess it's not a package or something. > kstart isn't installed by default
The correct command is `kstart5`.
However if plasmashell is already running you can just do `plasmashell --replace`.

Ah thanks, didn't know that!
If you need more infos regarding the issue, please let me know!
The fact that it works in a new user account makes me feel like there's some config issue with your user to trigger this. However I don't know what it is. So, I've been playing around. I disabled some options in System Settings > Notifications, renabled them, startetd copying a huge folder––and it worked. Yeah! As I wasn't sure what exactly made the difference, I've been fiddeling around a while and also reinstalled the (as I know now, unneeded) kde-runtime package. And bam, the dialog was broken again. I purged kde-runtime and all of it's dependencies. Then I *restarted* my machine (I guess that's what I've been missing out yesterday) and everything was fine again. TL;DR: A classical PBCAK, I'd say… :-) But thanks again, Nate! Finally nice progress dialogs also for me. Glad you got it working! :) |
