SUMMARY Kontact cannot find any shared object files. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Sorry, no idea how to generally reproduce this on another system than mine. OBSERVED RESULT Kontact cannot find any shared object files. However, these files do exist inside their respective folders (e.g. `/usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kmail/`). It is therefore impossible for me to setup any components of Kontact at all. EXPECTED RESULT The shared object files should be found by Kontact such that I can use the components like KMail and KOrganizer. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.6-2-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please post the exact error messages
(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > Please post the exact error messages Sure, sorry. Thought it wouldn't be necessary to post all the exact errror messages here because they're very different for each module that's missing (e.g. KMail or KOrganizer) and my system is in German (so possibly the error messages are less helpful). Anyways, I'll go through all the tabs in Kontact settings and post the messages here. For summary: `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/summary/kcmkmailsummary.so` For KMail: `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kmail/kcm_kmail_accounts.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kmail/kcm_kmail_appearance.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kmail/kcm_kmail_composer.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kmail/kcm_kmail_security.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kmail/kcm_kmail_plugins.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kmail/kcm_kmail_misc.so` For KAddressbook: `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kaddressbook/kaddressbook_config_userfeedback.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/kaddressbook/kaddressbook_config_plugins.so` For KOrganizer: `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configgroupscheduling.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configtime.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configviews.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configcolorsandfonts.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configmain.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_userfeedback.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configfreebusy.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configplugins.so` `Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/pim/kcms/korganizer/korganizer_configdesignerfields.so` I've double checked an all the shared objects listed here do exist in those folders. If you need any more info, I'm happy to provide it. :)
Starting Kontact from the terminal, I'm immediately greeted by the following errors: kf.coreaddons: "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_specialdatesplugin.so" org.kde.pim.kontact: Error loading plugin "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_specialdatesplugin.so" "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_specialdatesplugin.so" kf.coreaddons: "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_kmailplugin.so" org.kde.pim.kontact: Error loading plugin "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_kmailplugin.so" "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_kmailplugin.so" kf.coreaddons: "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_todoplugin.so" org.kde.pim.kontact: Error loading plugin "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_todoplugin.so" "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_todoplugin.so" kf.coreaddons: "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_korganizerplugin.so" org.kde.pim.kontact: Error loading plugin "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_korganizerplugin.so" "Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kontact5/kontact_korganizerplugin.so" Opening Kontact settings produces the errors posted in the comment above. Closing Kontact results in the following: kf.xmlgui: 0x564a71ca2360 deleted without having been removed from the factory first. This will leak standalone popupmenus and could lead to crashes. kf.xmlgui: 0x564a71c98310 deleted without having been removed from the factory first.

I just installed kontact and korganizer on Manjaro and everything seems fine. Does this still happen with an up to date system?
(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #4) > I just installed kontact and korganizer on Manjaro and everything seems > fine. Does this still happen with an up to date system? Yes, it's an up to date system on testing branch. I'm more and more certain that it's a problem with Manjaro but I'm absolutely unsure how to solve it, since I've already tried reinstalling all the components, made sure that the shared objects are present, etc. If you can't reproduce it and you don't happen to have some idea how I might find out what the problem is, then we can safely close this bug report again, I suppose. It's probably a one-time occurrence on my specific system that I've borked somewhere in its lifetime. :D
I'm leaning towards a Manjaro/setup issue too, but I can't quite prove it. Running "QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 kontact" might tell us more
