Hello all,

On my Opensuse Leap 42.2-x64 with QT 5.7.1 and Plasma 5.9.95, my Dolphin refuses to start.
Do you know some tricks to fix it? where must I see first?

thanks

Does the Dolphin start from the terminal/konsole ?
If not - any error messages ?

"error while loading shared libraries: libKF5BalooWidgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Strange, I dont understand why this happened.

Ok, I've solved the issue. I used another repository that put some libs in /opt/kf5 (from wolfi323) leading to a bad behaviour with Dolphin.
By removing it and with an update, Dolphin is running again.

That is on purpose, my repo enables one to install Plasma5 and KF5 applications in parallel to "KDE4".

But if you want to use it, you need to do a full switch to it, not just install some selected packages.
Because, as you say, it installs (QT5/KF5 based) things to /opt/kf5/ which is not found by default.

PS: I should add that you should be a bit cautious with "home:" repos anyway.
Everybody can put things there, they are a bit similar to PPAs in Ubuntu.

Better only use them if you are sure what they are about.
