Comment 2 makosol 2022-03-07 18:48:29 UTC
Happens also in Fedora 35. Maybe it is linked to french language ?
Comment 3 Justin Zobel 2022-03-08 00:03:19 UTC
Are you able to try in another language please, that way we can confirm if that's the issue. I've also not been able to replicate this issue on Fedora 36 with "American English" Language and en_AU (Australia) keyboard layout.
Comment 4 makosol 2022-03-08 19:22:59 UTC
My system is in french, but in System settings / Language, only American English is present...
I don't know why and I don't know how to make the changes necessary to test the issue.

> Happens also in Fedora 35. Maybe it is linked to french language ?

Can reproduce when setting the language to french. With my default en_US it works fine.  In attica one gets a QNetworkReply::RemoteHostClosedError, @leinir any ideas?
Comment 6 Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen 2022-03-09 09:37:50 UTC
i mean, apart from the remote host refusing to serve us seeming like it has to be a service side issue, i'm really not sure... Especially given how this code just hasn't changed on our side for ages, and it's suddenly broken... Maybe something with the new caching setup causes it to fail if there's a language set in the request header? (which we don't do ourselves, but i expect it gets sent along by qnam, not really sure). A quick test just trying to manually set the accept-language header to fr seems to just result in a correctly returned list of categories, though, so i'm really not sure what's going on here.
Comment 7 Driglu4it 2022-03-17 08:29:18 UTC
According to KNS, I found out an interesting thing: if the dialog opens in a category that is not translated (or has Latin characters), everything is displayed without problems. Those. sections konsole, yakuake, etc. open, but which contain non-English characters not. Tested with renaming the translation of /usr/share/knsrcfiles/*
Comment 8 Yaroslav Sidlovsky 2022-03-20 12:14:18 UTC
This error was caused by this line in KF5 Attica code:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/attica/-/blob/dde032d415e26a87f900eb6f0131f5114f0e72f9/src/provider.cpp#L1724

User-Agent header was set to UTF-8 value, "knewstuff-dialog/1.0 (+Вход в систему)" in my case.
It's not valid according to HTTP standard (as I know), so HTTP server breaks connection.

(See also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10384741/is-a-unicode-user-agent-legal-inside-an-http-header)

Commenting this line solves issue for me.
Comment 9 Yaroslav Sidlovsky 2022-03-20 12:56:56 UTC
Maybe it's worth to encode m_additionalAgentInformation with QUrl::toPercentEncoding(...) before setting it to header.
Comment 10 Alexander Lohnau 2022-03-20 19:29:40 UTC
I think it is worth rethinking if we even want the user-visible name inside the user agent. Instead I would propose to use the knsrc file basename. This is an identifier we use when creating the engine.

Git commit 693a2ea3926400b1482888a2df2c532852b8f971 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Alexander Lohnau.
Committed on 23/03/2022 at 22:58.
Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'.

Do not set user-visible name as additional agent information

Instead we want the filename, which is more useful as an identifier anyways, because
we would otherwise have to check which user-visible names originate from which knsrc file.

No bugfix release?

Comment 17 Nate Graham 2022-03-23 23:43:02 UTC
That would be up to distro packagers or the Frameworks folks. Frameworks doesn't get automatic bugfix releases, just the normal monthly releases. So someone would need to request one. Would you be interested in doing so?

If this patch cleanly applies to the current frameworks release I guess
there's no need for a separate release. I've already proposed the use of
the patch for Fedora KDE.

Comment 20 Alexander Lohnau 2022-03-24 06:10:18 UTC
There is another place where I am not sure how relevant it even is. Once that is figured out I will reach out to distros and make a backport request.

Comment 30 rsbrux 2022-09-12 10:14:03 UTC
This bug report says that this is fixed in KDE Plasma Framework 5.93.  I am running Ubuntu Studio 22.04.1 LTS with KDE Plasma 5.24.6 and Framework 5.95, but this error appears when I try to download a new "Login Screen (SDDM)" by clicking "Get New SDDM Themes..." (in "System Settings" under "Startup and Shutdown").
Comment 31 rsbrux 2022-09-12 10:15:21 UTC
P.S. My language is en_US, but my locale is de_CH.
Comment 32 Nate Graham 2022-09-12 19:08:25 UTC
The locale doesn't matter; if your language is English, it's a different bug. Can you file a new bug report? Also please make sure to attach a screenshot of the error message. Thanks!

Thanks, I started to file a new bug as you suggested, but can no longer reproduce the problem. Perhaps an update fixed it, or perhaps it was an issue with privileges or with the server connection.  IAC, despite the thousands of icons available, I didn't find what I was looking for.  I was hoping to find avatar images like the ones macOS and Windows provide fr their accounts and login screens.
Comment 34 patked 2022-09-22 11:14:20 UTC
the bug has been fixed now for 10 days during a KDE update.
Thanks to the developers.
