A workaround for that is installing qt5ct and use another icon theme.
But if i’m on ssh -X with dolphin and want open a txt file then opens kwrite or kate on the screen of the host computer.
not on the screen where ssh dolphin opened. this is on tumbleweed 20170707 20170730 (and not on leap 42.2)
where do i start to find out where the problem is, it happens with kwrite, kate, gwenview, okular, the info of copy files, … (probly the hole plasma stuff)
This happens because the remote application does not notice it is running in a KDE session, and so the KDE/Plasma platform plugin is not loaded (which loads e.g. the theme settings from the KDE config).
Workaround: set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE to force it running in “KDE mode”.
not working, no correct icons and still open programs on host computer from dolphin. (tumbleweed 20170730)
what i did:
ssh -X user@ip
set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
dolphin
output of konsole:
user@user-openSUSE:~> ssh -X user@ip

Have a lot of fun...

this works, only for correct icons (not open files)
this is also correct for the icons but not for opening files, still opens on the host
thx, for one problem there is a workaround
that’s better than thinking to switch to gnome (nautilus) after using kde for 13 years now.
note: qt5ct is not installed on my tumbleweed
the workaround for the leap 42.2 (not tested on 42.3 yet) is with qt5ct,
There is no problem with open file over ssh dolphin on leap 42.x at the moment, but i’m afraid about leap 15.x
And i’m trying to switch to tumbleweed
with ssh -Y also not correct.
it’s dolphins problem it think because if you open ssh nautilus and then open files with kwrite or other kde apps then it works.
offtopic:
is there a lightweight kde file browser that can add servicemenu’s? didn’t find it in pcmanfm(LXQT)
I’m experiencing this problem when running qbittorrent remotely via ssh or X2Go—that is, the program runs normally except that most of the icons (including all the icons in the toolbar and the preferences dialog) are blank. This makes the program pretty difficult to use. So far I’ve noticed the problem only with qbittorrent; KDE applications like kate display their toolbar icons just fine.
Launching it with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=‘kde’ or XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE (or both) has no effect. plasma5-integration-plugin is installed on the remote system and qt5ct is not. Both the local and remote systems are running openSUSE Tumbleweed.
I’m not so sure that it’s a different underlying problem. Five years ago I was experiencing the problem that KDE applications had blank icons when run remotely. At that time I was referred to this thread, which described a problem with admittedly different symptoms, but the solution presented (i.e., setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE) worked for me. Now I’m experiencing the exact same symptoms, but with QBitTorrent (a native Qt application) rather than KDE applications.
If you think it’s better to start a new thread, feel free to split my post off if that’s possible. If it’s not possible, I can just start a new one myself.
You seem to miss that getting answers to your questions is mainly promoted by making those questions best visible to those who might be able to answer. Do you really think that people are looking at the end of old threads to see if a new questions is posted there. Don not take me as an example for one who found it nevertheless. I, as moderator, look for such new posts at the end of old threads, because spammers often try to hide their spam in such places.
You must advertise your question and that is best done by posting it in a sub-forum where the gurus of that part of Linux knowledge are luring for new threads with a good title that draws their attention.
I’m assuming that the gurus who solved the previous iteration of this problem are subscribed to this thread but are not necessarily actively browsing new threads. If none of them respond, I’ll consider reposting elsewhere.
I unscubscribe to all the threads I am subscribed to when no posts in them shorter then a month ago. Keep things tidy is the first and foremost goal of every system manager.
