Can you run `journalctl -f` in a terminal window, reproduce the bug, and paste any text that appears in the terminal window when you press the button and nothing happens?

Mar 10 20:30:22 stein.andtib krunner[5664]: kf.kio.gui: Could not find an executable named: "kcmshell5"

Why does it try to start kcmshell5?

Thanks. The code here (https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcmutils/-/blob/master/src/qml/kcmlauncher.cpp?ref_type=heads#L14) clearly indicates that it'll open kcmshell6, so I think the most likely possibility is that you've still got the KF5 version of the kcmutils framework on your machine. Another one is that there's a downstream patch breaking this.

Comment 4 András Manţia 2024-03-10 19:52:31 UTC

Yes, I have both KF5 and KF6 kcmutils, the KF5 version is needed for some apps

Comment 5 András Manţia 2024-03-10 19:54:48 UTC

Meantime I deinstalled some kf5 kcmutils related packages (but kept the library) and works now. Even more, bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482666 too. Thanks for the hint!
