It opens a dialog to install (QApt) and when you click on Install, it asks for password.

Continuing to operation shows DONE, but actually it installs nothing.

Using terminal does not have the same problem.

Eg. download google-chrome and click on .DEB file to install and proceed with the next steps. It won't be installed.

Type: dpkg -i google...... and it installs without any problems.

using systemsettings -> file associations you need to determine the exact command being used to open .deb files and then use that in Konsole to see if there's errors generated

if you have package gdeb-kde you could try right click a .deb -> open with -> other -> gdebi-kde -> click remember -> click ok

Thank you for your answer. I checked file associations for DEB and this is registered: qapt-deb-installer

Doesn't this work? I did not change anything related to this after out-of-box.
