I been having problems with the kdm windows decorations is how this all started. I installed Debian 8.7.1 with the KDE platform and when i went to (System Settings - Workspace Appearance - Window Decorations) and clicked on (Get New Decorations), it dose nothing. It just says (Initializing). Even when clicking on the (Installed) choices, it wont even show the installed decorations. So I tried <$ sudo systemsettings> and got this message.
(QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
systemsettings(4454): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified
Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
"
systemsettings(4453): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.)
I sense then loaded Debian 8.8.0 with the KDE platform thinking that this would be fixed in the updated version. It's not. Went threw the same thing. So I went online and found answer on a forum site.
"Most of the theme-related stuff moved recently from opendesktop.org (kde-look.org) to store.kde.org (looks like kde-look.org now redirects to the new store).
You may need to load the new providers.xml file for the new store.
Open System Settings -> Social Desktop. There should be a combo-box with the provider(s) to manage, beside which will be buttons to add and remove providers. If the combo-box doesn't have store.kde.org then add it, using the URL: https://store.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml (and then remove any provider for opendesktop.org)".
So I go to (Account Details - Social Desktop) and it wants a user name and password or wants me to register one. I click on the (Register) tab and fill out the form and click on the (Register) button, and it dose nothing. I click back to (Login) tab to login. I click on (Test Login) and it dose nothing. So I figured I'd just try the (Add Provider) button and add the https://store.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml to the field and click the (OK) button, and I couldn't tell what it did. It didn't show up anywhere. So it takes me back to getting sudo access to System Settings. Can someone help me with this?
