Created attachment 130207 [details] Revert runCommand change SUMMARY When a command is set and runCommand is enabled, nothing is executed. It doesn't appear from strace that anything is even attempted to be run. This appears to have been introduced in commit 47381a65debe01a0a015e1aa423cbb78af649648 (in applets/timer/plugin/timer.cpp). I can confirm reverting that change still builds and fixes the issue for me, trivial patch attached. Not sure if this change was a mistake, why it breaks things, or if reverting it will have other side effects. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run the timer applet 2. Configure Timer -> Advanced -> "After timer completes" -> enable and set command 3. Start countdown OBSERVED RESULT No observable command run, nothing in logs, strace shows no fork EXPECTED RESULT Command is run SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kernel 5.7.8-gentoo (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 332490 ***
Sorry to reopen, but I don't think this is a duplicate. It appears to be the same issue, but this bug is for the timer plasma applet, not the ktimer app.
No reason to be sorry, I am sorry for assuming that they use the same backend. I will write a patch!
