    Konsole crashes on open after fresh install

    Fresh install on a clean drive. I go to open Konsole and it immediately crashes. Checking the system log, I see the following error message.

    Code:
    /usr/bin/konsole: error while loading shared libraries: libKF6NotifyConfig.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory​
    Because of this, I'm unable to open Konsole or Yakuake or any shell (other than tty with ctrl + alt + f3, which is a hassle). Couldn't find any mention of this elsewhere online, so here I am

    Please help!

    I have 25.04 (x11) and Konsole works well. Anyway you can replace Konsole with Qterminal (qt based):
    Code:
    sudo apt install qterminal

    Kubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' LTS

      Thanks for the suggestion, looks like qterminal works as a workaround. Still weird that other terminals have this issue.

        Check that you have libkf6notifyconfig6 installed, this is the package that is supposed to supply the missing file from the error.
