Comment 1 Andrius Štikonas 2019-05-11 09:18:23 UTC
Might be packaging bug. Can you open Slackware bug and post a link here?

It looks like DBus permissions issue.

kpmcore installs the following files:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde.kpmcore.applicationinterface.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde.kpmcore.externalcommand.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde.kpmcore.helperinterface.conf

and it seems to work on all other distros.

This is indeed a packaging bug, thanks for putting me on the right path there Andrius.
Those dbus files were installed incorrectly to /etc/kde/dbus-1/system.d/ and after I moved them manually to the correct location and reloaded the messagebus, partitionmanager works as expected.
I will fix the Slackware package.
