Arch systemsettings 5.6.2-1 Workspace Theme - Desktop Theme - Get New Theme - Get Hot New Stuff/System Setttings Add-On Installer first gives: Loading provider information then gives the error: Loading of providers from file: http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed even though entering that URL into a browser does return a file: <providers> <provider> <id>opendesktop</id> <location>https://api.opendesktop.org/v1/</location> <name>openDesktop.org</name> <icon></icon> <termsofuse>https://opendesktop.org/terms/</termsofuse> <register>https://opendesktop.org/usermanager/new.php</register> <services> <person ocsversion="1.3" /> <friend ocsversion="1.3" /> <message ocsversion="1.3" /> <activity ocsversion="1.3" /> <content ocsversion="1.3" /> <fan ocsversion="1.3" /> <knowledgebase ocsversion="1.3" /> <event ocsversion="1.3" /> </services> </provider> </providers> I don't know that I've ever seen "Get New Themes" actually work in kde though. Reproducible: Always
I'm using Linux Mint and when I try to install a new theme for the window decorations it just keep loading but not show any theme for download.
Same here on openSUSE Tumbleweed, on my work laptop. Note that I reach the internet through an http proxy, correctly configured in System Settings. I can reach that xml file using a browser or wget. Moreover, I can correctly use Get Hot New Stuff when I'm at home (no proxy). I have to add that I have this error whenever the Get Hot New Stuff functionality is involved, not only in this specific case.
Just a little addition: when I say "Same here on openSUSE..." I mean that I have the same behavior of the original poster (i.e. James), not as the previous commenter (Creitom de Souza Oliveira).
This is fixed now.
