Qapt from Dolphin NBG

[Fester Bestertester]

I'm getting more disillusioned by the day.

I can use Terminal, navigate to my downloaded .deb file and sudo dpkg -i <...>.deb. That works fine.

If I use Dolphin to do the same and right-click on the same .deb file, I'm given an option to open with Qapt Package Installer. That in turn gives me a greyed-out option to Install. Using Dolphin as Root with kdesu gives me exactly the same.

Why greyed-out? I'd expect an active option to enter root password and do it, or if already root to just [confirm and?] do it. What gives? 15.10 amd64.

I'm also disillusioned with the removal of the right-click option to 'Open Terminal Here', now having to go up to the Menu Toolbar, select Control... Not User-friendly!

Should be there ?

Qapt works fine for me, so i don't know what may be wrong with yours.


hitting f4 in dolphin opens an embedded terminal, as it always has. The right-click option to open a console window is under "Actions", just as it always has. I believe the option for a terminal directly in the main right-click context menu is part of a third party service menu addon, such as a root-actions service menu.

HOWEVER, you may be hit with this bug:

Lol, I just found this on my upgraded-from-utopic Kodi box, had not yet done the fix. The Actions sub-menu was missing there, among others.

Followed the link - konqpopupmenus.desktop file missing to enable Service Menus. Definitive update method or script? Link was vague here. (Also brain fading late at night NZT)
