[SOLVED] Unable to run .desktop files in latest Kubuntu backports KDE version

[Guest]

I'm using the KDE 5.28 packages from the Kubuntu backports PPA. Since the upgrade to 5.28 I'm unable to run .desktop files.

If I double-click on a .desktop file in Dolphin it comes up with a dialog box asking if I want to Open, Execute or Cancel. I click 'Execute' but it doesn't run the script or program that the Desktop file points to - it shows the notification in the task bar but nothing more happens.

Thanks, that was it. The workaround suggested in the bug worked for me:

settings->applicatins->default applications->Terminal Emulator->Use a different terminal program the path to the konsole program: /usr/bin/konsole
