Plasma Weather plasmoid broken

swh · July 26, 2024, 3:47pm

Got an error when trying to activate plasma weather in status and notification

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.weather/contents/ui/main.qml:438:25: Type FullRepresentation unavailable

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.weather/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml:38:24: Cannot assign object of type "QQC2.Action" to property of type "Action_QMLTYPE_124*" as the former is neither the same as the latter nor a sub-class of it.

How to fix this?
Any help appreceated!

It seems org.kde.plasma.extras is no longer compatible with QtQuick.Controls Action

So those PlaceholderMessage should be ported to Kirigami.PlaceholderMessage

Is there a bug report about this?

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, here is a report. I’ve only just been made aware of it. I posted the topic in the EndeavourOS forum

Did you try the solution in the bug report?

Going to try it later. just sitting down to dinner

Had the same error as OP and that fixed it, so I was wrong in my previous comment.

Didnt fix it. Content of ~./cache deleted, rebooted, but unfortunately the same issue.

I managed to consistently reproduce the issue by doing this:

Remove the widget (all instances) from the Tray/Panel/Desktop
Restart plasma / logout and login / or reboot
Add widget to Tray/Panel/Desktop again
Error appears
Run systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service
Error is gone???

Can you confirm that?

Got it working

Enable the widget
Delete ~./cache
Reboot
select the weather on my location.

Thanks all!

@luisbocanegra It worked by enabling first then delete the cache.

I think the problem is when loading the widget (adding the first instance of it to the desktop) after plasma has already started.

When the widget is loaded along with the desktop this doesn’t happen.

I wasn’t the only one with the problem. Hopefully we were able to help other users who have the same problem

I don’t have that much knowledge when it comes to program sequences, but as soon as someone explains it to me I can understand it. That seems to make sense to me. Anyway, thanks again for your support

You’re welcome. Hopefully my findings help @redstrate track this down.

@luisbocanegra By the way, thanks for the panelcolorizer. This is very nice. Im running it with greeze colorscheme.
