This helpes: # ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/plasma-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu $ kbuildsycoca6 --noincrimental But it is next workaround again.... Look on it! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 486184 *** |
Description: After a recent system update, Dolphin file manager has ceased to function properly outside of KDE environments. Attempting to open any file leads to the default application assignment window popping up; however, this window is now showing empty without listing any applications, as if all application associations have disappeared. This issue became noticeable with the introduction of Plasma 6, at which point I could resolve the problem by manually starting the /bin/kded6 service, allowing default applications and xdg-open to operate normally. However, following the latest update, this workaround is no longer effective, and the default application window remains empty, leaving no possibility to launch any files. Impact: This is a critical issue as it completely hinders the functionality of Dolphin in non-KDE desktop environments, affecting productivity and system usability. Steps to reproduce: 1. Update the system including Dolphin and KDE components on arch. 2. Open Dolphin in a non-KDE environment. 3. Try to open any file. 4. Observe that the default application assignment window opens but contains no applications. Expected behavior: Files should open with their associated default applications as defined in the system settings or fall back to using xdg-open. Actual behavior: The default application window is empty, and no files can be opened directly from Dolphin. System information: KDE version: Plasma 6 Dolphin version: 24.02.2 Operating System: Arch Linux Severity: Critical Note: This issue does not occur within KDE environments, only when using Dolphin in other desktop environments.
