Created attachment 170721 [details] Attached are the results from `pacman -Qe`. (Installed packages with versions AFTER removing konsole.) SUMMARY I did not install the konsole package as I had planned to use Alacritty for my terminal emulator. I was able to install Alacritty and run it without issue from the application launcher. I opened System Settings -> Default Applications and used the drop down for "Terminal emulator" to select Alacritty and noticed no issues. However, when attempting to use the Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open Terminal Here" option inside Dolphin, nothing appeared to happen. Steps Taken and Results: Additionally, Neovim was selected as my Default Application for "Text editor". - Attempting to use Right Click -> Context menu -> Open with Neovim from Dolphin would result in an error from the notification menu/journalctl. - Attempting to open Neovim from the application launcher would also result in an error from the notification menu/journalctl. - Opening Alacritty and running nvim command would work as expected. I installed the konsole package and set it to the Default Application for Terminal Emulator. - Installed using `pacman -S konsole` - Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context Menu -> "Open Terminal Here" would open konsole at the location as expected. - Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open with Neovim" opened the file in Neovim inside konsole as expected. - Application Launcher -> Neovim would open nvim in konsole as expected. I changed the Default Application for Terminal Emulator back to Alacritty using System Settings drop down in Default Applications: - Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context Menu -> "Open Terminal Here" would open Alacritty at the location as expected. - Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open with Neovim" opened the file with Neovim inside Alacritty as expected. - Application Launcher -> Neovim would open nvim in Alacritty as expected. I used `pacman -Rns konsole` to remove the konsole package and config files: - Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context Menu -> "Open Terminal Here" would open Alacritty at the location as expected. - Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open with Neovim" opened the file with Neovim inside Alacritty as expected. - Application Launcher -> Neovim would open nvim in Alacritty as expected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install `plasma` package group from Arch repo. 2. Install `dolphin` package from Arch repo. 3. Install `alacritty` package from Arch repo. 4. Install `neovim` package from Arch repo. 5, See SUMMARY section above for additional steps taken. OBSERVED RESULT Observed results are documented in SUMMARY section above. Additionally, the following errors were noted in `journalctl`: - dolphin[2353]: kf.kio.core: Terminal "konsole" not found, service "Neovim" - dolphin[2353]: kf.kio.gui: Terminal "konsole" not found while trying to run /usr/share/application/nvim.desktop - plasmashell[1856]: kf.kio.core: Terminal "konsole" not found, service "Neovim" - plasmashell[1856]: kf.kio.gui: Terminal "konsole" not found while trying to run /usr/share/application/nvim.desktop - dolphin[7722]: QGestureManager::deliverEvent: could not find the target for gesture EXPECTED RESULT Expected results are documented in SUMMARY section above. Summary: Expected not requiring to install konsole in order to use a different default terminal emulator.
