Bug ID: 521247
Summary: Icons-Only Task Manager widget stops working if a
"metadata.desktop" file exists in the home directory
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.6.4
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager widgets
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
DESCRIPTION
Icons-Only Task Manager widget stops working if a "metadata.desktop" file
exists in the home directory.
File content doesn't matter.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add "Icons-Only Task Manager" widget to main panel if it's not already
there
2. touch ~/metadata.desktop && plasmashell --replace
OBSERVED RESULT
On KDE Neon, plasmashell enters in a crash loop because this assert:
ASSERT: "path == QStringLiteral("/") || QDir(path).canonicalPath() +
QLatin1Char('/') == path" in file /workspace/build/src/kpackage/package.cpp,
line 274
On my Gentoo system (and also CachyOS live image on QEMU):
Icons-Only Task Manager shows an error applet, plasma output:
error when loading applet "org.kde.plasma.icontasks" QList("Error loading
Applet: package org.kde.plasma.icontasks does not exist.", "Could not find
requested component: org.kde.plasma.icontasks")
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Gentoo x86_64, plasma 6.6.5, Qt 6.10.3, wayland
QEMU:
cachyos-desktop-linux-260426.iso (plasma 6.6.4)
neon-unstable-20260607-1151.iso
