FAQ

I can't install plasmoids in Plasma Workspaces 4.5.1

This is caused by a bug in kdelibs 4.5.1 (bug 251192) which prevents the installer from extracting plasmoid files. The workaround is to extract the file manually and install it from Konsole or another terminal.

Download the plasmoid
Open the file (*.plasmoid) with Ark and extract it to a directory
Open Konsole and navigate to the directory from the previous step

cd /path/to/directory

Install the plasmoid with the command (where directory-name is the name of the extracted directory)

plasmapkg -i directory-name

Tip

You can navigate to the directory in Dolphin and press F4 to open an embedded terminal.
