Description Jan Rathmann 2023-11-16 11:24:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
The Application Dashboard widget is currently not avaiable in Neon Unstable with P6.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Neon Unstable live image.
2a. Right-click on Application launcher icon on panel, select "Show alternatives..." OR
2b. Right-click on panel, "Add widget..."

OBSERVED RESULT
No entry for Application Dashboard.

EXPECTED RESULT
I can find and select the Application Dashboard.
However the following files belonging to the A.D. still exist (like in Plasma 5):
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/contents/ui/DashboardRepresentation.qml
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickerdash/metadata.json

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Neon Unstable 20231113-1400

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Not a recent regression (reproducible since > 1 month).

Comment 1 Jan Rathmann 2023-11-18 18:53:13 UTC 
Did a cross-check: On openSuse Krypton live image with Plasma 6 the Application Dashboard is there and works. So I suspect that its absence in Neon may be due to some packaging issue.
Comment 2 Jan Rathmann 2023-11-19 22:34:34 UTC 
Ok, I finally found the reason: The package plasma-widgets-addons isn't installed by default on Neon Unstable. If I install it manually, I get the Application Dashboard.
Should this be changed? Neon User apparently has that package installed by default.
Comment 3 Jan Rathmann 2024-11-08 08:39:31 UTC 
Package plasma-widget-addons is now installed by default, fixing this bug.
