Bug ID: 488864
Summary: Selecting Default Terminal Emulator other than
konsole, without installing konsole first, results in
various issues.
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.1.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_componentchooser

Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 170721
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=170721&action=edit
Attached are the results from `pacman -Qe`. (Installed packages with versions
AFTER removing konsole.)
SUMMARY
I did not install the konsole package as I had planned to use Alacritty for my
terminal emulator.
I was able to install Alacritty and run it without issue from the application
launcher.
I opened System Settings -> Default Applications and used the drop down for
"Terminal emulator" to select Alacritty and noticed no issues. However, when
attempting to use the Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open Terminal Here"
option inside Dolphin, nothing appeared to happen.
Steps Taken and Results:
Additionally, Neovim was selected as my Default Application for "Text editor".
- Attempting to use Right Click -> Context menu -> Open with Neovim from
Dolphin would result in an error from the notification menu/journalctl.
- Attempting to open Neovim from the application launcher would also result in
an error from the notification menu/journalctl.
- Opening Alacritty and running nvim command would work as expected.
I installed the konsole package and set it to the Default Application for
Terminal Emulator.
- Installed using `pacman -S konsole`
- Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context Menu -> "Open Terminal Here" would open
konsole at the location as expected.
- Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open with Neovim" opened the file
in Neovim inside konsole as expected.
- Application Launcher -> Neovim would open nvim in konsole as expected.
I changed the Default Application for Terminal Emulator back to Alacritty using
System Settings drop down in Default Applications:
- Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context Menu -> "Open Terminal Here" would open
Alacritty at the location as expected.
- Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open with Neovim" opened the file
with Neovim inside Alacritty as expected.
- Application Launcher -> Neovim would open nvim in Alacritty as expected.
I used `pacman -Rns konsole` to remove the konsole package and config files:
- Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context Menu -> "Open Terminal Here" would open
Alacritty at the location as expected.
- Dolphin -> Right Click -> Context menu -> "Open with Neovim" opened the file
with Neovim inside Alacritty as expected.
- Application Launcher -> Neovim would open nvim in Alacritty as expected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install `plasma` package group from Arch repo.
2. Install `dolphin` package from Arch repo.
3. Install `alacritty` package from Arch repo.
4. Install `neovim` package from Arch repo.
5, See SUMMARY section above for additional steps taken.
OBSERVED RESULT
Observed results are documented in SUMMARY section above.
Additionally, the following errors were noted in `journalctl`:
- dolphin[2353]: kf.kio.core: Terminal "konsole" not found, service "Neovim"

EXPECTED RESULT
