Yep tried to install Yahoo weather & Gmail feedly plasmoids.
Seems like they installed fine

Then didn't show up in add new plasmoids. So logout and back in still not there. So rebooted Still not there.
So went back to Get new plasmoids and lo & behold it shows I didn't install? Confused!

Image

Finding these kind of issues with Get New Plasmoids,Themes,Icons,etc... How are we suppose to customize Plasma 5 to our personal use?
As half the time trying to install something from Get New ends up file not found. And plasmoids showing they installed and didn't actually install.

Any help in resolving issues is appreciated.

Some plasmoids must be manually installed, I'm trying to find where it is written on facebook but I fail

Thanks for responding tho "sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" went through the prompts and re-booted.
Still no show for Yahoo weather & Gmail feedly in add new widgets. So imagine those two need to be manually installed.

The bigger issue is why are they listed if they won't install? Basics like adding Themes,Widgets and Icons seriously broken.
As a great desktop experience is tarnished by these kind of basic functions broken for users.

I do not know what's happening. For me some of widgets are installed but do not have an icon. Installation from the Internet always goes from step 2, first found widget that I want to install and install. Then re-opening of the panel installation of widgets on the left side of the screen now looking for the widget and install it by double clicking.
Yahoo! weather I took for git zip file, unpack manually, typed command and then another step back and search widget on the left side of the screen now looking for the widget and install it by double clicking.
