hello,
paste.kde.org doesn't work any more in my pastebin plasmoid (although the site is online) and when I install another service it doesn't show up in the list.
Any clues?

In terms of another service not showing up - that may be due to an out of date cache. Logging out and back in again should ensure that it gets picked up.

As for why it no longer works with paste.kde.org, the original API was discontinued when the site migrated to new software - which version of KDE are you using? Newer versions should include an update which causes it to use the new API.

Already tried that ...

I'm using 4.12.2, actually quite new. But it works for you? Maybe an error in distro then...

Where can I find the locale config files of that pastebin and service?

How did you install the other services? Can you check to see if their entries exist under ~/.kde4/share/?

I haven't tested the pastebin applet recently - for other reasons it doesn't work here. If it is not working with the new API in 4.12, then I suggest filing a bug report at bugs.kde.org requesting the applet be revised - I was under the impression the code had been updated though.

I can confirm paste.kde.org doesn't work for me in 4.12.2 (and that pastebin.com does), also searching on bug.kde.org resuted in no hits

Sigh, ok if I have some free time. I'll will fill a bug...

/home/richard/.kde4/share/apps/plasma_applet_paste/ is empty, but I have /home/richard/.kde4/share/apps/knewstuff3/pastebin.knsregistry:

Please check to see if anything exists under /home/richard/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/shareprovider/
If only the file "149589-paste.chakra-project.org.tar.gz" does, please extract it's contents into that directory.

The directory was completely empty. I dl & extracted the archive manually now into that folder, log-in / log-out, but still it doesn't pop up...

Edit:
I filled the bug now, FYI:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331553

Can you please pastebin the contents of "metadata.desktop" from that package? It should be displayed once in that location - at worst you may need to restart Plasma Desktop.

Here we go:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=paste.chakra-project.org
Comment=The Chakra Project pastebin
Type=Service
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=Plasma/ShareProvider
X-KDE-Library=plasma_engine_share
X-KDE-PlasmaShareProvider-MimeType=text/*

X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=0.1
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Website=http://chakra-linux.org

Restarting plasma desktop, does this happen with a normal reboot or is this something separated?

A normal reboot should be more than sufficient. I'm afraid I don't know why that isn't working - is the *.desktop file executable?

I made the .desktop file executable and rebooted, but still no chakra service available ...

Hmm, does the following command give /home/richard/.kde4/share/ as it's output?

Code: Select all

kde4-config --localprefix
