Plasma Integration is broken (KDE)
-
Not to say you hadn't done this yet, but have you tried finding a way of installing it with dev mode enabled, either as packed (
.crx
) or unpacked (.zip
)?To be frank, I wouldn't imagine this helping if this has something to do with the extension itself being the problem. I had a similar issue on my Manjaro install with Vivaldi using the Universal Bypass extension, and that one the author does distribute as third-party because Linkiversity sued the author into oblivion and convinced Google to remove it from the Chrome Web Store.
Not because it did anything bad per se, just some butthurt advertisers who couldn't find a way around the author's work using the law against user interests.

@guigirl Well, & that might be the problem: you installed it manually.
Doing a
tar tvf
of the file gives also these"see? it's got the NM host (which it should have anyway)" -rw-r--r-- root/root 323 2021-03-16 15:00 etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json -rwxr-xr-x root/root 243696 2021-03-16 15:00 usr/bin/plasma-browser-integration-host "as well as the extension auto-install file" -rw-r--r-- root/root 81 2021-03-16 15:00 usr/share/chromium/extensions/cimiefiiaegbelhefglklhhakcgmhkai.json
Thus I think that if you remove the extension from the blocklist & let it be installed automagically (which, btw., it was when I last used Plasma), it might, maybe help.
-
@guigirl I understand you perfectly. Just try what I told you to do, that is
- if the extension is gone again, install it
- remove the extension
- relaunch V
- open the extensions page
- (enable dev mode) & press the update button (just in case, shouldn’t be needed)
- you can disable dev mode again
- it should be installed
- the question is if this will prevent it from being removed
Read the page I linked above if you don’t believe me it should work. If you’ve tried it & it doesn’t – okay, revert to the system you’re using now.

@guigirl said in Webpage translation support and a new panel design – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2238.3:
otherwise, why did you assert/imply that this recent problem is my fault for having manually installed this extension
I said ‘might’.
& was trouble-free in previous months & years?
I’m just trying to guess what the reason could be, & noticed that you installed it manually although the mentioned package contains the files necessary for it to be installed automatically.
The procedure you're keen for me to perform has never been necessary for me to do before.
It should ensure that the extension isn’t on the blocklist. That’s why it isn’t just ‘make sure you have the package’.
I am disputing/doubting it because this is possibly only reacting to a symptom, rather than dealing with the root cause.

@guigirl lol
You either behave now or @potmeklecbohdan will put you on the support blacklist. You don’t wanna be on there, trust me. -
@guigirl said in Webpage translation support and a new panel design – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2238.3:
this was never needed before
& I must repeat again that it shouldn’t. But the same goes for manual installation of the extension, which you did.

@Gwen-Dragon While you’re here, don’t you think this discussion should be in its separate thread? (It isn’t related to this concrete Snapshot, & since @guigirl said she’ll wait for next version, it should stay unlocked even after a new Schnappi is out.)
-
@Gwen-Dragon Thanks Just a minor thing, the link to this thread that you posted in the SS thread is broken (missing topic ID).

@guigirl I've been using KDE forever and Vivaldi half of forever , but have never heard of this extension before. Can you point me to an article that discusses it?
I followed the link and watched the video, but still couldn't figure out what it does or why I would want it. Thanks. -
@guigirl Thanks for the detailed response. I'll install it and see how it goes - if it doesn't keep disappearing on me like it does for you. My kubuntu 18.04 system might be too old for it to work. We'll see.
Just to clarify: Forever is a long time. I've been using Vivaldi since Beta, but I was using KDE in Mandrake 9.1 RC 1, long before Vivaldi existed (around 2003 or 2004). Some forevers are longer than others.
-
@guigirl Hmm, never had any problem with it with both S & SS, fwiw I have the Webstore ticked in settings.
Won't go reading all the troubleshooting that was suggested as it's too specific, but I'd say check (if you haven't already) if maybe it has to do with your Vivaldihooks (javascript) injections or with the way you fire up your Vivaldies (firejail), 'cause I don't use any of 'em. -
It's just happened again.
It was definitely still there yesterday, this morning i'm unsure, but i just explicitly checked again now & it was gone... hence now manually reinstalled once more.
Whatever joke Arch, KDE, V & PI are playing on me, ain't so funny any more.
Just checked Chromium... its PI is still there just fine. It never plays hide & seek with me; only V does this.
What are other Plasmoidalising Vivaldifarians using for this setting pls? Maybe i should disable it for a while...

@guigirl Unchecked and not running here.

@npro Oh, well, interesting, ta for that. I've just done ditto here, so maybe this change might now become the line in the sand... or otoh just another punchline in the running joke.
