Can you paste the output of running the following terminal commands in a terminal window? $ which knewstuff-dialog $ cat /usr/share/applications/org.kde.knewstuff-dialog.desktop (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) On KDE Neon Unstable, where plasma-welcome was installed automatically as part of an update: > $ which knewstuff-dialog shows nothing, and > cat /usr/share/applications/org.kde.knewstuff-dialog.desktop shows cat: /usr/share/applications/org.kde.knewstuff-dialog.desktop: No such file or directory On Arch Linux, where the Plasma version is still 5.26.5 and plasma-welcome was compiled from source it shows: > $ which knewstuff-dialog /usr/bin/knewstuff-dialog > cat /usr/share/applications/org.kde.knewstuff-dialog.desktop shows the same error as Neon: cat: /usr/share/applications/org.kde.knewstuff-dialog.desktop: No such file or directory That would appear to be the problem, then: you don't have the knewstuff-dialog executable or desktop file. Do you have the knewstuff framework package installed? Maybe it's not, and the bug is that it's not marked as a dependency for plasma-welcome.

Maybe it's not, and > the bug is that it's not marked as a dependency for plasma-welcome. I manually installed knewstuff-dialog on Neon (sudo apt install knewstuff-dialog) and now it works. This still doesn't explain why on Arch it seems to be installed but there's no shortcut on /usr/share/applications/ , but maybe that's another bug? Making it a required dependency for plasma-welcome should solve the issue I guess The change is unreleased and will appear in Frameworks 5.103. If you compiled plasma-welcome from source but are using the released 5.102 knewstuff package instead of compiling that from source too, yeah, that's not expected to work. Will make knewstuff a required dependency. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > The change is unreleased and will appear in Frameworks 5.103.

That makes sense. Thanks, Nate!

Note mandatory KNewStuff dependency 9d90ed46515159175b07d080625eb6a7a14d4bfe added a page that mentions KNewStuff and includes a button you can click on to open a KNewStuff-provided app. But it neglected to mark the KNewStuff framework as a dependency, allowing users without that framework installed to click on the button and get a broken UX.
