SUMMARY I recently reinstalled my Kinoite system and I also installed the Kontact suite. However, I cannot change a lot of settings, apparently because of a weird interaction between Kontact and KNotes. Whenever I attempt to change a Kontact setting (such as ‘Show component sidebar’), the change is not saved and I’m getting an error message on the console (see below). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kontact from a terminal 2. Open Kontact settings 3. Uncheck 'Show component sidebar' 4. Click 'Apply' OBSERVED RESULT Component sidebar is still shown, error message is shown in terminal: > Communication problem with KNotes. Error message was: “org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject” : " “No such object path ‘/KNotes’” " EXPECTED RESULT Component sidebar is hidden. No error message. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 40 Kinoite KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFO I installed KNotes, but that didn’t help either.
It looks like this will be fixed once [1] hits a release. [1] https://invent.kde.org/pim/kontact/-/commit/44fa501b8327dd690d04dc4cabb216a7554a1dfa
