[Solved] KDE Plasma Widgets (and others) Download Issue

Dante777 · 2026-07-20 19:22:47

Hi friends!
Lately i came across this issue where : Add or Manage Widgets > Get New > Download New Plasma Widgets > Loading Data prompt is loading indefinitely, showing nothing.
Actually, all similar dialogs to download anything KDE Plasma related, produce the same result.
If run from terminal, i get:

Reading session (1) from "/usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasma.desktop"
kf.newstuff.quick.private: You have not set a transientParent on KNewStuff.Dialog or .Action. This may cause severe problems with window and lifetime management. We'll try to fix the situation automatically but you should really provide an explicit transientParent
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/kirigami/templates/OverlayDrawer.qml:225: TypeError: Cannot read property 'width' of null

Any ideas?

Can you reach https://store.kde.org/ in a browser?

Dante777 · 2026-07-21 04:42:05

Yes, i can reach the KDE store in a browser.
Surprisingly, firing up my VPN did the trick, kind of as in the link you sent me.
That's a workaround for now and need to search it further.
I'll mark it as solved.
Thank you Seth!

Either the UA of the dialog gets quota'd for your IP (hosted at cloudflare) or there's a DNS issue or IPv4 ./. IPv6
Can you

curl -vL store.kde.org > /dev/null

?

I apologize for the delayed answers.
Running the command gives:

This runs at your pace and I was overly busy until an hour ago anyway

"Yes You Can", but is this w/ the VPN?

Dante777 · 2026-07-21 15:40:00

No, it's without the VPN.

Is your network connection generally spotty?

Dante777 · 2026-07-22 04:01:13

I see, it's clearly a bug. My case is similar to # Bug 496253.
I'm having a rock solid internet connection, no issues there.
Thanks for your time Seth, i appreciate it.

EDIT: Issue resolved by deactivating IPv6 in 'Networkmanager'. That seems to have been the culprit.
Thanks again.
