Description Long Vu 2024-10-18 13:51:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
When konsoke isn't installed and another terminal emulator such as Kitty is launching a terminal based application such as htop results in an error. The right click "Open Terminal Here" in Dolphin also doesn't open the terminal.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a terminal emulator such as kitty installed and not have kconsole installed
2. Check that the terminal emulator is selected in Default Applications
2. Launch a terminal based app such as vim or htop from the application launcher

OBSERVED RESULT
Error:
Launching Htop (Failed)
Terminal konsole not found while trying to run /use/share/applications/htop.desktop.

EXPECTED RESULT
The program opens in the terminal emulator selected in default applications.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.116
Qt Version: 6.8
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-11-14 17:53:55 UTC 
Is Kitty set as the default terminal emulator in System Settings > Default Applications?
Comment 2 Long Vu 2024-11-14 18:01:22 UTC 
It is set as the default, if I have konsole installed kitty does open correctly when set. With the konsole packages uninstalled I run into the error.
