Public bug reported: In Utopic, some Kipi plugins no longer appear in the Plugins menu in Kipi-aware programs like Gwenview or Digikam. One example is the "Export to Imgur" plugin, one that I frequently use.
After examing a few file locations, I saw that the file kipiplugin_imgurexportui.rc isn't getting copied from /usr/share/kde4/apps/kipi/ to the respective ~/.kde/share/apps/APP/ subdirectory. For example, here's where the files for the ImageShack plugin appear: steve@t520:~$ locate kipiplugin_imageshack /home/steve/.kde/share/apps/digikam/kipiplugin_imageshackexportui.rc /home/steve/.kde/share/apps/gwenview/kipiplugin_imageshackexportui.rc /usr/lib/kde4/kipiplugin_imageshackexport.so /usr/share/kde4/apps/kipi/kipiplugin_imageshackexportui.rc /usr/share/kde4/services/kipiplugin_imageshackexport.desktop And the files for the Imgur plugin: steve@t520:~$ locate kipiplugin_imgur /usr/lib/kde4/kipiplugin_imgurexport.so /usr/share/kde4/apps/kipi/kipiplugin_imgurexportui.rc /usr/share/kde4/services/kipiplugin_imgurexport.desktop For further testing, I purged kipi-plugins and kipi-plugins from my system and removed the ~/.kde/share/apps/gwenview/kipiplugin*.rc files. Then I re-installled the two packages and ran Gwenview from the command line. I chose the Plugins -> Export menu. The following output appeared on the screen: gwenview(31953)/KIPI (loading) KIPI::PluginLoader::Info::plugin: Cannot create instance for plugin "MediaWiki Export" ( "kipiplugin_wikimedia" ) with error: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kipiplugin_wikimedia.so: (libmediawiki.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" gwenview(31953) Gwenview::KIPIInterface::loadOnePlugin: Plugin from library "kipiplugin_wikimedia" failed to load gwenview(31953)/KIPI (loading) KIPI::PluginLoader::Info::plugin: Cannot create instance for plugin "VKontakte.ru Exporter" ( "kipiplugin_vkontakte" ) with error: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kipiplugin_vkontakte.so: (libkvkontakte.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" gwenview(31953) Gwenview::KIPIInterface::loadOnePlugin: Plugin from library "kipiplugin_vkontakte" failed to load gwenview(31953)/KIPI (loading) KIPI::PluginLoader::Info::plugin: Cannot create instance for plugin "KXMLHelloWorld" ( "kipiplugin_kxmlhelloworld" ) with error: "Could not find plugin 'KXMLHelloWorld' for application 'gwenview'" gwenview(31953) Gwenview::KIPIInterface::loadOnePlugin: Plugin from library "kipiplugin_kxmlhelloworld" failed to load gwenview(31953)/KIPI (loading) KIPI::PluginLoader::Info::plugin: Cannot create instance for plugin "Imgur Export" ( "kipiplugin_imgurexport" ) with error: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kipiplugin_imgurexport.so: (libkqoauth.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" gwenview(31953) Gwenview::KIPIInterface::loadOnePlugin: Plugin from library "kipiplugin_imgurexport" failed to load gwenview(31953)/KIPI (loading) KIPI::PluginLoader::Info::plugin: Cannot create instance for plugin "VideoSlideShow" ( "kipiplugin_videoslideshow" ) with error: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kipiplugin_videoslideshow.so: (libQtGStreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" gwenview(31953) Gwenview::KIPIInterface::loadOnePlugin: Plugin from library "kipiplugin_videoslideshow" failed to load Following the hint "libkqoauth.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I installed the package libkqoauth0. After doing that, "Export to Imgur" appears in the menu. The plugin also works -- I can successfully upload an image. But the plugin also has a button to enter authorization information (presumably from the OAuth library), which may be confusing to some users. At risk of stating a potential solution, it appears that kipi-plugins in Utopic may need a few more dependencies: * libmediawiki1 * libkvkontakte1 * libqoauth0 * libqtgstreamer-0.10-0 * libqtgstreamerutils-0.10-0 The version of kipi-plugins and kipi-plugins-common is 4.2.0-0ubuntu1.
