On Debian Testing, which currently appears to be using plasmashell 5.13.4, no notifications appear whatsoever. Rolling back to plasma-workspace (4:5.13.2-1), which uses plasmashell 4.14.2 resolves the issue. Steps to Reproduce: The following kdialog command reproduces the issue on 5.13.4 but works on 5.13.2: $ kdialog --passivepopup test 10 Actual Results: No notification appears. Expected Results: The notification appears for 10 seconds. Additional Information: In the plasmashell startup log I noticed an error about being unable to start the Notifications applet.
Cannot reproduce on Arch Linux running plasma 5.14 beta. Notification appears as expected.
Cannot reproduce both in Operating System: Netrunner Rolling KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5 Qt Version: 5.11.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50.0 and Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.80 Qt Version: 5.11.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0
This works fine for me with recent Plasma. Please open a new report if you still have this with recent Plasma
