KDE 4 Window Decorations Add-on Installer Issue

RL Bashire · 08-01-2016, 08:55 AM

I have noticed this issue with many KDE 4 distros. It's mostly relevant in KDE SC 4.13.2 and 4.14. The distros that I have noticed this with is PCLinuxOS Plasma 5 Preview, Linux Mint, Mageia 5, Solyd K, and Kubuntu 14.04. I did post this to KDE bug reporting but nothing has been done with it.

The problem noticed is when a person navigates to System Settings, Windows Appearance, Windows Decorations, Get New Decorations; the add-on installer is stuck on initializing. Just wondering if anyone is having this issue and if there is a work around or if it has to do with Plasma 5 migration.

Thanks and Happy 16th LQ!

Just for info, it's Workspace Appearance then (more pedantically

) Window Decorations.

Confirmed problem exists in Linux Mint 17.3 KDE (KDE 4.14.2).
