application menu "error during charging of file QML: file" and doesn't show anything

on leap 42.2 with KDE 5.8
after an update the kickoff menu does’t show anything and gives me this error

Errore durante il caricamento del file QML: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/contents/ui/main.qml:27:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "org.kde.plasma.private.kicker": Cannot load library /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/private/kicker/libkickerplugin.so: (/usr/lib64/libAppStreamQt.so.2: undefined symbol: as_pool_get_flags)
 

translating the first italian part should be like:
error during charging of file QML: file …
I tried also to change in application launcher but without success

how can I have back my kickoff menu’??

You are using additional repos, right?

Plasma has been upgraded to 5.9 beta today, maybe you updated when there was still some inconsistency.
Try to update again, and/or wait until everything has settled down.

PS: your crash seems to be related to libAppStreamQt, so make sure you have the latest one installed (libAppStreamQt2-0.10.5 from KDE:Frameworks5, and also libappstream4-0.10.5).

PPS: Especially when having problems like this it’s vitally important to know what repos are used to be able to help.
So please tell that next time right from the start, even before somebody asks… :wink:

manythanks lol! , it’s my son’s laptop, …installing libappstream4-0.10.5 it works now !!

You have both KDE framework and Wolfi repo this may be where you get conflicts. Use one or the other but not both at the same time.

You have packman twice remove one you have libdvdcss which is only needed one time once installed it is never updated. remove or disable

Have you found a repo you don’t like yet :stuck_out_tongue:

Wrong.
You do need both, and actually KDE:Qt5 as well.

kwin5-fx-beclock doesn’t work with kwin 5.9, it even fails to build.
Sorry.

You may try to “break” it, but it may just crash (and even cause kwin to crash).
I don’t know, haven’t tried.
But it’s definitely safer to uninstall it.

kwin5-lang-5.8.95-174.1.noarch requires kwin5 = 5.8.95, but this requirement cannot be provided
uninstallable providers: kwin5-5.8.95-174.1.x86_64[KDE:/Frameworks5]

openSUSE –> obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE

 ] break kwin5-lang-5.8.95-174.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose Option 2, allow the vendor change and switch libxkbcommon to version 0.7.0 fromKDE:Qt5.

kwin 5.9 requires at least 0.7.0, but 42.2 “only” comes with 0.6.1 which was the latest one at the time.

FYI, I managed to fix the kwin5-fx-beclock build failure with kwin 5.9.
So you should be able to install it again without a conflict… :wink:
