[SOLVED] KDE systemsettings5 Font Management "The shared library was not found"
by uiopqwerty from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K0N3)
Apologies in advance if this has already been posted, or if this is a KDE bug rather than a Slackware issue.
The Font Management section of System Settings (systemsettings5) has an error "The shared library was not found", I have attached a screenshot. When I run systemsettings5 from Konsole, I get the following output:
Code:$ systemsettings5
QQmlEngine::setContextForObject(): Object already has a QQmlContext
QQmlEngine::setContextForObject(): Object already has a QQmlContext
file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_landingpage/contents/ui/FeedbackControls.qml:28:1: module "org.kde.userfeedback" is not installed

Has anyone else observed this? The more I look at it the more it looks like a KDE issue rather than a packaging issue but I wanted to run it past the users here.
I am running (mostly) stock Slackware64-current up to date as of 10 June, and I am running kernel 5.12.4.
Edit: a reddit poster has said that this is fixed in a commit which should be backported by packagers for release: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comment...er_in/h14l8dy/ (can't find any other details elsewhere on the Internet)
