Window Buttons Applet problem in kde desktop

SPYAM · 2023-10-17 14:51:51

Hello
I installed Arch Linux with KDE desktop.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try to install the following package and move the Windows buttons to the top of the menu, I can't and I get the same error!

file:///home/**/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.windowbuttons/contents/ui/main.qml:26:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "org.kde.appletdecoration": Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/appletdecoration/libappletdecorationplugin.so: (libkdecorations2private.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

I also installed Arch from my gate, but nothing happened!
Can someone guide me?
I've been trying for several days, but I'm not getting any results!

`pacman -Qo /usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/appletdecoration/libappletdecorationplugin.so`

I mean, should I type this command into the terminal or what should I do?

You can also just look at it for a couple of hours, but if you understand what it does (what you should always for commands you type into a terminal) the implications should be obvious.
Also

pacman -Qi plasma5-applets-window-buttons kdecoration

add widget > get new widgets > download new plasma widgets > windows button applet

Then I installed it through the terminal and the following package, which does not install correctly:

Dear friend, thank you for this article.
I mean, what exactly is the problem I have now?
Should I transfer the files to another path or delete them?
/usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/appletdecoration/
Can you give me a simpler solution for me who is a beginner?
Thank you for your patience

Do you understand what "glob" means in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … )%22_error

I intend you give you something much more valuable.

It's always a bad idea to install anything as root outside pacman. Uninstall it and install it with pacman.
