Open System Settings Go to something like 'Application style/Window Decorations' Click on 'Get New Decorations' It works except you get 'UnknownOpenCollaboration Service API error. (999) Now close that and go to 'Workspace Theme/Desktop Theme Click 'Get New Themes' If fails with 'Loading id providers from file : https://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed Close System Settings If you now reopen it and go to 'Workspace Theme/Desktop Theme Click 'Get New Themes' It works except you get 'UnknownOpenCollaboration Service API error. (999) It seems the first thing you try and get 'New Something' works subsequent ones fail unless you restart System Settings
This error is caused by the provider's xml file having an old URL, but that file sticking around on the system after its name was changed. See also Bug 395718. Can you run: ls /etc/xdg/*.knsrc And paste the output here please?
Created attachment 114539 [details] as requested Here are the contents of /etc/xdg/*.knsrc Regards M
Thanks! All the URLs in the ProvidersUrl fields look sane and resolve. So perhaps it's not Bug 395718.
hum, I get "Unknown Open Collaboration Service API error. (999)" error all the time in window decoration and desktop theme kcms. plasma 5.14 beta, Arch Linux.
