KDEInit could not launch 'kpat': Could not open library '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_kpat'. Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_kpat: (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_kpat.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. This is the case now on three separate installations of KDE5 2. Try to start KPatience 3. Actual Results: KDEInit could not launch 'kpat': Could not open library '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_kpat'. Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_kpat: (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_kpat.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Expected Results: The game runs. The game ran just after upgrading to KDE5, but not after rebooting. The library is not on my system.
Hi Christoph, I think this bug and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340325 are both examples of a failure to launch a KDE 4 app correctly in KF5/Frameworks/Plasma5, rather than being bugs in kpat (or ksudoku). See my comment https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340325#c1. As such, I think the bugs should be re-assigned to the Frameworks/Plasma team or whoever handles bugs for Frameworks/Plasma, but I do not know how to re-assign them or where. So could you handle that? OTOH, I see Kubuntu is involved in both cases, so maybe there is some problem in the way Kubuntu is handling the installation of KDE 4 games (most games have not yet been ported to Frameworks). In that case, somebody from Frameworks/Plasma should be able to show the Kubuntu guys what the problem is. Cheers, Ian W.

Ian, this bug is about loading "libkdeinit5_kpat", i.e. from the KF5 port.

(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #2) > Ian, this bug is about loading "libkdeinit5_kpat", i.e. from the KF5 port. So was bug 340325. Again, please see my comment on that at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340325#c1. KPat is a GAME: and a KDE 4 game at that. It has no business being started from kinit and has no library libkdeinitN_pat, neither for N = 4 nor 5. That kind of tricky stuff is used by KDE CORE apps, not by games. So why is Plasma 5 even LOOKING for "libkdeinit5_kpat"? Also, Valorie's and Scarlett's success at running KPat, KSudoku and Palapeli by specifying a full path on the command-line indicates that their distro has not set up the $PATH correctly or has installed the games in the wrong folder, or maybe KF5 was responsible for that. This is Unix 101 stuff... :-)
> their distro has not set up the $PATH correctly Exactly, I resolved it accordingly. > why is Plasma 5 even LOOKING for "libkdeinit5_kpat"? If the .desktop file is installed, it assumes that either the binary is installed as well, or otherwise, a kdeinit library is installed.
