SUMMARY Fresh install of Kubuntu. I did choose to install the complete full operating system along with all default programs/utilities when I installed off of a bootable USB drive. Opening Dolphin, I could not see any devices in the SMB shared folders. I then opened discover and searched for utilities that were not installed. I found "KDE-Services" and chose to install it thinking that was not installed when I installed the operating system. I received the following pop-up error: servicemenu.knsrc: An error occurred during the installation process: The installation failed with code 1 while attempting to run the command: servicemenuinstaller install /home/rick/.local/share/servicemenu-download/kde-services-3.0.2.tar.bz2 The returned output was: "Failed to find an installation script in /home/rick/.local/share/servicemenu-download/kde-services-3.0.2.tar.bz2-dir" It appears the package installer failed to load an installation script. Why did this occur? Where do I get the installation script? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1.Install Kubuntu 2. Attempt to view folders and syatems in Dolphin smb 3. Attempt to install KDE-Services OBSERVED RESULT Install failed. EXPECTED RESULT servicemenu.knsrc: An error occurred during the installation process: The installation failed with code 1 while attempting to run the command: servicemenuinstaller install /home/rick/.local/share/servicemenu-download/kde-services-3.0.2.tar.bz2 The returned output was: "Failed to find an installation script in /home/rick/.local/share/servicemenu-download/kde-services-3.0.2.tar.bz2-dir" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-48-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: offscreen Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 28.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Created attachment 175926 [details] screenshot of kde-services loading Unsupported question: This file already exists on disk (possibly due to an earlier failed download attempt). Continuing means overwriting it. Do you wish to overwrite the existing file? '/home/rick/.local/share/servicemenu-download/kde-services-3.0.2.tar.bz2'
The fact that SMB browsing did not work out of the box is unfortunately a packaging issue in Kubuntu; please report it there. The fact that the "KDE-Services" add-on did not install correctly is unfortunately a bug in that add-on itself. Please report this to its developer. Thanks!
