Bug ID: 486209 Summary: Dolphin file opening fails outside KDE environments after update Classification: Applications Product: dolphin Version: 24.02.2 Platform: Arch Linux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: tonda.fisc...@gmail.com CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Description: After a recent system update, Dolphin file manager has ceased to function properly outside of KDE environments. Attempting to open any file leads to the default application assignment window popping up; however, this window is now showing empty without listing any applications, as if all application associations have disappeared. This issue became noticeable with the introduction of Plasma 6, at which point I could resolve the problem by manually starting the /bin/kded6 service, allowing default applications and xdg-open to operate normally. However, following the latest update, this workaround is no longer effective, and the default application window remains empty, leaving no possibility to launch any files. Impact: This is a critical issue as it completely hinders the functionality of Dolphin in non-KDE desktop environments, affecting productivity and system usability. Steps to reproduce: 1. Update the system including Dolphin and KDE components on arch. 2. Open Dolphin in a non-KDE environment. 3. Try to open any file. 4. Observe that the default application assignment window opens but contains no applications. Expected behavior: Files should open with their associated default applications as defined in the system settings or fall back to using xdg-open. Actual behavior: The default application window is empty, and no files can be opened directly from Dolphin. System information: KDE version: Plasma 6 Dolphin version: 24.02.2 Operating System: Arch Linux Severity: Critical Note: This issue does not occur within KDE environments, only when using Dolphin in other desktop environments. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
