Summary says it all really. When I select "Bookmarks" -> "Edit Bookmarks..." nothing happens. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start krdc 2. Select "Bookmarks" from menubar. 3. Select "Edit Bookmarks..." from dropdown. Actual Results: Nothing happens - no dialog, no error, no warning. Expected Results: That a dialog should open allowing me to edit bookmarks.
What happens if you run "keditbookmarks" from Konsole?
2012-07-20 14:36:20 homer@AU-L4A102325HL ~ $ keditbookmarks The program 'keditbookmarks' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install kde-baseapps-bin 2012-07-20 14:36:26 homer@AU-L4A102325HL ~ $ I guess that would do it! So THIS RAISE QUESTIONS 2 & 3: 2: why wan't this reported? 3: why isn't it a dependency in the repository?
Please report packaging/dependency issues to the bug tracker of your distribution via https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
Thanks, Christoph. Will do now.
But that doesn't answer the other question: why doesn't krdc report this error? krdc should announce "cannot launch kdebase-bin".
The bahavior if keditbookmarks is not installed could be imporoved. See: kdelibs/kio/bookmarks/kbookmarkmanager.cc.html Line: QProcess::startDetached("keditbookmarks", args);
It's 2017 and this is still a problem on KDE 5. (Using the KDE Neon distro at that.) There isn't even a console error that gets thrown, just... nothing. I've been ripping my hair out trying to figure out what the problem was and I finally found this buried in Google. A simple error message would be very beneficial.
