Have to tried rolling back your system using a snapshot to correct this?

If that doesn’t work we’re going to need far more information to assist you.

Logs, better description, etc etc…

It should just be the common kwin was updated so better blur and rounded corners need to be rebuilt can do it manually from git or wait a bit and it will be done via chaotic since its set to happen there.

Issues with Plasma 6.5 - was installed - uninstalled - now can't install

offen 12:36AM - 25 Oct 25 UTC

Hello, I've been using KDE-Rounded-Corners on CachyOS for quite some time now. …Originally I started out by cloning the repo, then building, and then installing manually. I found there was a version in the AUR so I uninstalled rounded corners and installed from the AUR. All was good. Recently there was an update to 0.8.5 (I was on 0.8.1). It failed to update from the AUR, there were warnings during build then a fatal error that caused it to fail (see build error code block below). So, I just never updated and left 0.8.1 installed. Then the Plasma 6.5 update came out and when I booted up I got an error (image below) and then it would start a small dialog saying "Building KDE-Rounded-Corners...". This will go forever, and doesn't ever seem to do anything. I'm sure there's a log somewhere but I'm not sure. Sooo, I cancelled the building rounded corners and went into my plasma settings and REMOVED the 0.8.1 version (which appeared to be working). So, now I do not have rounded corners. I rebooted and the same dialogue came up, and I tried to let it build again and no dice. Soooo, I figured I'd go try to do it the manual way and cloned the repo and did a `cmake ..` and got the same error. So now I'm unable to get it installed at all. At this point I'm stuck. I don't know what to do. I thought with 6.5 it would be built in, but I can't find it, and every time I log in I got that "We will now rebuild and reinstall the effect" dialogue. I believe this was from the autostart option hanging around so I deleted it but still have no rounded corners. Does anyone know where to begin troubleshooting? <img width="799" height="218" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5b807fcd-ed84-4175-a714-a8e30f68f722" /> build error: ``` CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:28 (target_link_libraries): Target "kwin4_effect_shapecorners" links to: Qt6::CorePrivate but the target was not found.

There is something strange about the chaotic-aur’s kwin-effect-rounded-corners.git version (wayland) as in it will build, but nothing shows up. I have even cleared my app cache and rebuilt, no go. However, if you use the same version found in AUR maintained by xiota, that does build and work.

Now with that said there is a secondary issue that has recently been reported and I it happens to me, there are profound tabs that appear, seems to work ok on the gtk programs, but the kde programs get the tabs. I have them on the bottom corners, but some users see them on all corners. I think it is due the recent Plasma 6.5 native rounded corners addition. This is something the maintainers of ‘rounded-corners’ will need to fix.
