I am using KDE Plasma on Debian Sid. I tried to edit the desktop background to add some widgets. However, it doesn’t seem to work as no widgets are showing up in the list. I restarted the machine and yet the problem persists. I am attaching a screenshot. Any idea as to how I can deal with this?
It’s not that the widgets are not there. If I click somewhere in the widgets list, then they appear on the desktop. It’s just that they don’t show up.
I wish I knew. My gut says it’s a ~/.cache or QML issue, and I did search around for a solution for you, but I didn’t really find a specific match to this.
why sid and not forky
I wanted to try the latest possible version of Plasma. I don’t want to hop to a non-Debian base and Neon has certain issues - being based on Ubuntu is the major one - which puts me off.
You are using Sid.
Yeah, why? lol!!
The emphasis is on the “are”. You ARE using Sid and it’s meant to be buggy every now and then, so what did you expect 😅
it’s meant to be buggy every now and then,
This has been for a while though.
