Thank you. I successfully installed and tested konversation6. Everything seems to work except for my old way of adding spell-checking by right-clicking on the input line. The pop-up menu did not load. I re-booted, and was able to select auto-spell checking after I started konversation6 again.
When you write that the print-manager plasmoid fails to run, is that separate from print-manager in the System Settings. When I select Printers from System Settings, I get Print service is unavailable / Bad file descriptor
. Do I need to install and enable cups?
