Launching "Display Configuration" (aka kscreen) on Kubuntu 16.04 64-bit
LTS results in error message:

"Unable to run the command specified.  The file or folder
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/contents/ui/kcm_kscreen.desktop"

I see the same problem on 2 different brand new Kubuntu 16.04
installations (one native, one on a VirtualBox VM).

I am not sure of the kscreen version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch "Display Configuration"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Dialog box reads:  "Unable to run the command specified.  The file or folder /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/contents/ui/kcm_kscreen.desktop" does not exist."

Expected Results:  
"Display Configuration" (aka kscreen) launches.

Hi Scott!

Thanks for your report.

Could you have a look if you have said file (kcm_kscreen.desktop), and
if so, where it's installed? The path it's loaded from seems weird to
me, it should be installed to

/usr/share/kservices5/kcm_kscreen.desktop

This is likely a packaging bug, which would need to be looked into by
the Kubuntu team.

Hi,

I'm not sure what happened, but I can no longer reproduce this problem.
I'll let you know if something changes.

Hi,

I figured out the issue:

New information -- this only happens when you create a desktop shortcut to
"Display Configuration" and launch from the desktop shortcut. Launching
from the "Type to search" option works fine.

I also filed the bug here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kscreen/+bug/1581897

So let me know if this is sufficient or if a KDE bug should be
opened/reopened.
Thanks.
