Ubuntu 23.04. It worked on it's first boot, but suddenly broke that day.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoWas it an Ubuntu that shipped with KDE pre-installed or did you manually add KDE to the default Gnome based Ubuntu later?
- mdwalters 3y agoYes, I manually installed KDE (via `kubuntu-desktop`)
- midoridensha 3y agoNo wonder you had a poor experience. Distros that don't treat KDE as a first-class DE are well-known to have a generally poor KDE experience. Kubuntu is probably the worst KDE-focused distro, and you didn't even start with Kubuntu as a base.
- mappu 3y agoA slightly poorer experience for a distro's non-flagship DE is one thing, a major binary being outright missing is another. This should have still worked - Ubuntu does support adding KDE by installing that package, kubuntu-desktop depends on plasma-workspace which contains /usr/bin/ksplashqml.
- mdwalters 3y ago> and you didn't even start with Kubuntu as a base. Sorry, just wanted to test-drive KDE without wiping my entire system. My friend even had this problem on KDE Neon.
- mappu 3y agoFeel free to stop replying at any point since I can't really help, but I can't see a reason why /usr/bin/ksplashqml itself would have gone missing. Is it possible that ksplashqml was really present, and actually the "not found" error was because ksplashqml could not find a custom splash theme file? Had you installed and removed any custom themes?
- theycallhermax 3y agoNo, I never touched the splash screen files.
