SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Installed the last updates 2. When copying a file nothing in the notification bar 3. After some search found that because kuiserver5 is missing (https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=141615) OBSERVED RESULT No notification when copying file EXPECTED RESULT Notification when copying file SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.0.0-16-generic (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I decompressed the neon's plasma-workspace and effectively no binary for kuiserver5
"kuiserver" was removed from plasma-workspace with the notifications rewrite. Reassigning to Plasma developers to check if this was intended.
So is there a way to have file operation progress?
If I understand the code correctly, a new "nofiticationmanager" process should be responsible to manage the kuiserver D-Bus API. On my system, however, such a process is not running. Please wait for a Plasma developer to clarify.
"notificationmanager" is the correct name, see https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/tree/libnotificationmanager/CMakeLists.txt
kuiserver5 was indeed removed, so let's use this to track not getting notifications for progress tracking as expected.
