Hi to everyone,

i am new to this forum. I registered myself because i could not find a solution on the internet for my annoying problem:

The Digital Clock widget in the main panel does not work properly. It does not show the current time instead it presents me a analog dummy and a left click shows the error message:

Code: Select all

Error loading QML file: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/main.qml:48:14: Cannot assign to non-existent property "toolTipItem"


Screenshot:



System Information:

• Kubuntu 15.10
• Plasma 5.5.4
• Kernel 4.2.0-27-generic

Does somebody have an idea how i can fix it?
Thanks in advance!

I think that you are running a mixed system - the "toolTipItem" was submitted 1 month, 3 weeks ago: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126463/

Plasma workspace branch 5.5 doesn't have "toolTipItem": https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/w ... asma%2F5.5

It is at the master: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/w ... i/main.qml

Plasma schedules: https://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5
-> "5.6.0 Release Tue 2016-03-22"

A fix is to upgrade/downgrade all packages to the same version.

Hey Rog131,

many thanks for your quick replay!

That makes sens because i noticed the error after an update.

How can i achieve that? Which packages do i have to reinstall and which version do i have to pick?

Distributions are splitting sources and naming packages as they wish. The package names are distribution specific.

How did you end to the mixed system ? Did you use some Ubuntu PPA ?
Does the PPA have any information of the package maintainer / where to report bugs etc.

Maybe these will help:

- How to use a Launchpad PPA (add, remove, purge, disable) in Ubuntu - http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/how-to-u ... emove.html
- Kubuntu has http://kubuntu.org and there the 'Help and support': http://kubuntu.org/support/

I've updated Plasma to version 5.6 and got this problem too. For those who still don't know how to solve this problem, here is some kind of "fix". Open

Code: Select all

 /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/main.qml

(with root permission) and just comment that whole block:

Code: Select all

    Plasmoid.toolTipItem: Loader {
        id: tooltipLoader

        Layout.minimumWidth: item.width
        Layout.maximumWidth: item.width
        Layout.minimumHeight: item.height
        Layout.maximumHeight: item.height

        source: "Tooltip.qml"
    }


Save file and then restart Plasma. This is not a solution, but still, It worked for me.
