SUMMARY *** Installing digikam (+dependencies) to a fresh kubuntu 22.04.01 install breaks panel widgets NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Fresh install (minimal install) of kubuntu 22.04.01 2. Add konsole as a panel widget (from app launcher menu, right click on konsole, select "Add to Panel (widget)" 3. Launch konsole using that widget, install digikam (sudo apt install digikam) OBSERVED RESULT After installing digikam + dependencies, the panel widget will no longer launch konsole. There is no error message / popup. Tested also for other apps (firefox), same result. The apps can still be launched from a desktop widget, from the app launcher menu, or if pinned to the taskbar. Only the panel widget appears broken. EXPECTED RESULT The panel widget should still launch the app after installing digikam.

what on earth
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > what on earth Yeah... I've encountered this on three machines, using kubuntu 22.04 and 22.04.01. I found that doing an apt purge of digikam didn't fix the issue, and was not sure how to debug further.
Anything in logs? (Run "journalctl -f" then try clicking on the panel widget)
Thanks for this. I ran > journalctl -f Opening a panel widget (konsole) before installing digikam gave this single line output: Nov 03 16:25:12 hesketh-XPS-8920 systemd[1268]: Started Konsole - Terminal. I then did > apt install digikam and, as before, the panel widget no longer works. The output from journalctl is again just one line, but now: Nov 03 16:26:26 hesketh-XPS-8920 systemd[1268]: Started WSLView. which is... different, but not sure why / what it means.
After a quick search, it seems to be related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wslu/+bug/1971757 Removing wslu does solve the problem (and reinstalling wslu recreates the problem). wslu is installed as a digikam dependency, but it seems like wslu can then be uninstalled without affecting digikam. So, I've "solved" my problem, but not sure this really counts as a fix!
Seems like a bug in that package, somehow.
