Perhaps we should move this discussion somewhere else. I think it's on the verge of not being tolerated much longer. There are rules that we must obey.

The idea of the forum is so that problems like this can be resolved. Sometimes they're resolved quickly other times they may take months.

I don't think it's a WPS issue. The fact it works perfectly well on other distro's & DEs is testament to that.
Remember Neon is according to the Devs NOT a distro, it just showcases KDE on top of Ubuntu packages. It is also a very minimalistic install, so it's just likely that we're missing some packages. Sooner or later someone will work out what. On the other hand it just may not play nicely with Plasma. Either way looking at the development for WPS on Linux, it's highly unlikely, they'll even be bothered.

- Hey, have you ever thought about migrating your business to a GNU/Linux OS?

- Nah.

- No, seriously, have a look right here.

- Hey, what the heck is this? Looks great!

- It's called the Plasma desktop.

- Plasma? Wow, didn't know about it. Does it support MS Office?

- Nope, but it supports LibreOffice.

- Tried it but ran into formatting issues. Nah. Anything else?

On my Neon laptop with only Plasma 5, it does segfault. I have no idea how to tell which of the Gtk2, libgnome or other related libraries I have which make it work on the Chromebook. Blaming Plamsa for WPS not having proper dependencies listed is probably misplaced


Also, you can get the menus to work by running it like so:

Now open WPS it is fine working

@projetolinuxkdu

Muito obrigado!

As WPS is proprietary and closed-source, do you happen to know whether it sends anything to mothership (as in spyware?) I haven't sniffed the traffic yet but I will. I hate to admit it but it's better-looking, snappier and more compatible with those darn patented Mikerosoft formats than LibreOffice and it's got night mode. What's your plasma version, If I may?

Again, I like WPS a lot but It makes me feel uneasy because I still don't know whether it's mining any data or not.

This (https://linuxdicasesuporte.blogspot.mx/ ... ntu-e.html) worked for me in Kubuntu 16.04,
1.- just run this

Code: Select all

 apt -y install Qt4 qtconfig

2.- Open Qt4 Settings
3.- Change GUI-Style to GTK+
4.- Save changes

Thank you raddison

@javo
Nothing to thank me. I got it working on Kubuntu 16.04.3 as well as previously mentioned. I use breeze dark (always ) so I had some not so nice rendering (maybe on breeze light there's no rendering issue) but functionally speaking it behaved as it should.

***
That being said, who can confirm it works on Neon or Kubuntu 17.04 or 17.10? I think nobody can.

The only way is to head straight to the packagers of WPS office and kindly ask them to make necessary adjustments for it to work on Plasma 5.x.x. I shall do that. I had it.

How to Install and Open WPS Office in KDE Neon?

WPS Office is a popular MS Office clone for Linux and they provide better support for MS Office files than Libre Office or any other Office in Linux (as far as I know). But, WPS Office doesn't work well with Neon's KDE environment and fails to launch. So, I will explain the steps to install and setup WPS Office successfully in Neon.

- Download the latest WPS Office from http://wps-community.org/downloads
- Open the Downloads folder in Dolphin file manager and right click on the Debian package.
- Select Open With --> QApt Package Installer. It is available in every KDE Neon installation.
- Select Install and input your Password when requested.
- Close it once the installation is over.
- sudo dpkg --configure -a

Now, after installing, you may not be able to launch it when opening a document opening a document or in Applications menu. This is because of incompatibility with KDE. We have to make it fallback to GTK for it to work. Now follow these steps.

- Right click the Application Launcher and select "Edit Applications".
- Select Submenu WPS Writer under Office.
- In the General tab, replace "/usr/bin/wps %f" with "/usr/bin/wps %f -style gtk".
- Similarly, add "-style gtk" to the existing commands for WPS Presentation and Spreadsheets.
- Finally, click Save and close the Menu Editor.

Now, if you open WPS Office from Application Menu, it will launch successfully. However, if you try to open documents from Dolphin, the Ark archive tool will open. For that problem, follow this work around.
Microsoft Documents opens via Ark in KDE Neon (with Solution)

sudo dpkg --configure -a
