Created attachment 119973 [details] screenshot SUMMARY Nothing displayed in Partition Manager STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start partition manager from menu or terminal in KDE5 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing displayed on the partition manager page. Partition manager did not collect disk storage information. EXPECTED RESULT Should have a functioning partition manager similar to gparted but with reduced and enhanced function. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Slackware 14.2 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3 Kernel Version: 4.19.41 OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Error registering helper DBus service "org.kde.kpmcore.externalcommand" "Connection \":1.202\" is not allowed to own the service \"org.kde.kpmcore.externalcommand\" due to security policies in the configuration file"
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.
