Description Pavel Alexeev 2016-02-03 08:28:18 UTC
Description of problem:
From some of update (not recent, 1-3 month ago) kscrean stop run from menu widget with error:

"Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder kcm_kscreen.desktop does not exist."

It run from search there.
Delete from favorits and re-add it does not help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -qf /usr/share/kservices5/kcm_kscreen.desktop
kscreen-5.5.4-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2016-02-04 12:55:28 UTC
What menu/widget are you talking about? 

kscreen doesn't provide any .desktop file to display in application menus (like kickoff), those typically are under /usr/share/applications/...

 you mean in systemsettings ?  systemsettings5 ->  display&monitor -> display configuration ?

Comment 2 armando.fella 2016-02-09 10:51:52 UTC
I received the error message "Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder kcm_kscreen.desktop does not exist." when I try to launch the "Display configuration" from Favorites in Kmenu or if I launch it from panel after "Add to panel" action.
Moreover if I access it by systemsetting the tool is not able to detect new monitor attached both to VGA port and hdmi port.

Comment 3 armando.fella 2016-02-09 11:58:48 UTC
I add system info:

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2016-02-10 02:57:23 UTC
I guess I'm curious how this ended up in your favorites (or panel) to begin with, this package does not normally appear in kickoff application menu (only systemsettings).

Probably better to focus on the latter issue you mentioned: 
Moreover if I access it by systemsetting the tool is not able to detect new monitor attached both to VGA port and hdmi port.

Try running this from konsole:
xrandr


Do your newly attached monitors appear listed there?

Comment 5 armando.fella 2016-02-10 19:22:25 UTC
from the kmenu I searched (texting) "display" an it appears.

I run the xrandr, this is the output, but the "Display configuration" do NOT displays the VGA one.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 15:22:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 18:24:17 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
