Launcher/krunner dictionary & spellcheck are MIA

Help

Debian Trixie on 6.2.5. IIRC, this is was happening on my laptop during 5.27.5 as well.

I dug around a bit but can’t pinpoint the issue:

balooctl is disabled due to some issues on 5.27.5 previously, but AFAIK, that is not related?
Here are my installed spell checking pkgs:

$ dpkg --get-selections |rg -N spell
aspell                                          install
aspell-en                                       install
hunspell                                        install
hunspell-en-us                                  install
ispell                                          install
libaspell15:amd64                               install
libhfstospell11:amd64                           install
libhunspell-1.7-0:amd64                         install

Some of the spell-check-related config below may have been missing initially. I made some changes after trawling for krunnerrc files on github, but nothing that I threw against the wall seems to have stuck. Here’s my current config:

[General]
ActivateWhenTypingOnDesktop=false

[PlasmaRunnerManager]
migrated=true

[Plugins]
PIM Contacts Search RunnerEnabled=false
appstreamEnabled=false
baloosearchEnabled=false
browserhistoryEnabled=false

Cross-referenced my desktop that has Dictionary/Spell working.

Ran dpkg --get-selections |rg -N runner on both devices and plasma-runners-addons:amd64 was missing from my laptop. After an install and reboot, things were working as expected.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

missing from my kubuntu 24.10 as well… installed

thanks for the tip, i was about to dig into finally getting my dictionaries all on the same page and this would have made that more difficult.
