Plasma widgets broken

I’m just having bad luck at the moment it seems :frowning: I use the compact shutdown menu Plasma widget and it worked fine right up until October. Ever since November I get this:

And the details say:

file:///var/home//.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.scpmk/contents/ui/main.qml:10:1: module “org.kde.plasma.private.quicklaunch” is not installed

Not the end of the world but thought I’d check if there’s a fix :slight_smile:

The only Compact Shutdown plugin I could find is this thing on store.kde.org.

Is that the one? It hasn’t been updated since 2022. If so I’m not sure how you could have been running it up until October.

Indeed! The one I run is apparently called “Simple Customizable Power Menu for KDE” https://store.kde.org/p/2137217

This is a plasma 6 widget which is why it works (up until recently)

The reason why I posted here is because the error message:

module “org.kde.plasma.private.quicklaunch” is not installed

is one that often comes up with widget failures (see this reddit post) and people report that installing the package kdeplasma-addons solves the problem.

So I was wondering whether there’s been a change in the OS where this is no longer included by default?

The kdeplasma-addonsplugin is installed by default in Aurora. You can check for yourself.

# Check locally
$ rpm -qa | grep kdeplasma-addons 
kdeplasma-addons-6.5.3-1.fc43.x86_64

# Check in the OCI image
$ podman run ghcr.io/ublue-os/aurora:43 rpm -qa | grep kdeplasma-addons 
kdeplasma-addons-6.5.3-1.fc43.x86_64

Right. I checked and it is indeed there. I have just switched to another widget. Thanks for the help!

PS It seems plasma 6.5 made some changes to widgets because this widget https://store.kde.org/p/2157390 also had a few reports of not working about a month ago and required an update
