Buttons not getting displayed after 5.27 update

[Sriramgireesh]

This is the error that is getting displayed.

[zbor-li]

I have the same situation

[FuzzyQuils]

Reporting in to say this is broken for me too; I got no error message but maximised windows no longer have buttons.

Guys, stop commenting like this. It only results in a #metoo +1 thread. Just give thumbs up to the first message from @Sriramgireesh .

I have a bit hacky workaround run ldconfig -p | grep "kdecoration" this will give you path to the libraries then cp those files to the directory where is the library missing (in your case it is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/org/kde/appletdecoration, the appletdecoration directory might not exist then just create it) this will fix it after restarting your dock
(what I guess happened is that with the new update those libraries got moved around so you can temporarly cp them to their old location)

Note: this is very suboptimal and temporary solution

on arch, i also had to make a "libkdecorations2private.so.9" in /usr/bin (/usr/.../kde/appletdecoration did not work)

[KiritoGuugk]

cp /usr/lib/libkdecorations2private.so.10 /usr/lib/libkdecorations2private.so.9 fix on archlinux

[Xeo23]

on fedora, applet-window-buttons got removed during the update of plasma-desktop. And installing the applet requires downgrading plasma and several other packages.

[sarvasana]

Maybe we should see if #191 fixes this.

Fix on my Fedora 37 KDE Plasma 5.27.0 (Wayland):

cp /usr/lib64/libkdecorations2private.so.10 /usr/lib64/libkdecorations2private.so.9

[Sadi58]

This solved it for me, as expected: ;-)
Go to https://github.com/chermnyx/applet-window-buttons/tree/dumb_5.27_support, and build using this "fork".

[artfox3]

for those using arch linux the aur package has been updated using this commit #191 , we need to wait until it gets merged to be available in the main branch.

I've tried the steps mentioned above, but nothing worked for me.

See the screenshot:

Tapping on the widget does nothing.

Kubuntu 23.04
Plasma 5.27.4
Graphics Platform X11

This issue started after upgrading to Kubuntu 23.04 from 22.10

[DrevniyMagistr]

The buttons are duplicated when I expand the window, as shown in the screenshot. Where should I focus my attention? What could be causing this issue?

Open ~/.config/kwinrc

And add this

[Windows]
BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true

Then save and restart plasma or reboot.

Thank you!

On Kubuntu 23.04 slightly different location for the fix. Works fine now after breaking when I upgraded from 22.10 to 23.04 (X11).

cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdecorations2private.so.10 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdecorations2private.so.9

cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdecorations2private.so.10 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdecorations2private.so.9

Better to symbolically link it not to copy it
example:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdecorations2private.so.10 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdecorations2private.so.9

Thank you, works for me! I have my Window Buttons back!

I am having the same issue with KDE Neon 5.27, none of these solutions worked. I also see that i have a different error than the on from the top:

[bayazidbh]

@Sweeistaken I currently run KDE neon, I was able to build it just fine using the 5.27 dumb support branch:

sudo apt install make cmake g++ extra-cmake-modules qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libkf5declarative-dev libkf5plasma-dev libkdecorations2-dev gettext 
git clone --branch dumb_5.27_support https://github.com/chermnyx/applet-window-buttons && cd ${${_%%.git*}##*/} 
sh ./install.sh

(Fedora now have this widget as applet-window-buttons and it works just fine for me on my ublue-os image)

I am having the same issue with KDE Neon 5.27, none of these solutions worked. I also see that i have a different error than the on from the top:

In my case, the path KDE_INSTALL_QMLDIR was specified incorrectly. The compiled appletdecoration module was installed in the wrong place.
It helped me to check where the QT QML modules are in my system and move appletdecoration there.
