Description Christian Stadelmann 2025-11-01 11:34:47 UTC
Multiple people have reported crashes when starting krunner on Fedora 43 (see attached thread).

A downgrade + reboot helped the users who ran into that problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to Fedora 43 with krunner 6.19.0-1
2. Start krunner application launcher
3.
Actual Results:
Application launcher crashes

The error messages look like this:
```
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/ui/main.qml:21:1: Cannot load library /usr/lib64/qt6/qml/org/kde/plasma/private/kicker/libkickerplugin.so: /lib64/libKF6Runner.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZN14KWaylandExtras18xdgActivationTokenEP7QWindowRK7QString
```

Expected Results:
No crash.

It seems like the URL got lost, here it is: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/no-application-launcher-load-after-upgrade-to-fedora-43/171374

Comment 2 Enrique Meléndez 2025-11-01 13:37:10 UTC
That is correct, I have had the same issue after upgrading to Fedora 43 from Fedora 42. Downgrading to kf6-krunner-6.18-0.1 solves the issue. However, Fedora 42 was already running on version 6.19, so maybe some dependencies went awry.

Comment 3 Norbert 2025-11-01 14:57:53 UTC
I can also confirm this issue, downgrading mentioned package solves the problem.

Comment 4 Steve Cossette 2025-11-01 16:36:46 UTC
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-0c9aa5a428 This is very likely to be the fix for the issue. Once this goes live, you should be able to do a full dnf update and get things lined up properly. We missed a package rebuild which caused problems for some users.
