fix(cmake): Resolve missing Qt6::CorePrivate link target

[ShionKanagawa]

The build was failing with a "target was not found" error for Qt6::CorePrivate. This occurs when a project requires private Qt headers/symbols but does not explicitly request the component in the find_package call.

By adding CorePrivate to the list of components, CMake can correctly locate and link the library.

Thx a lot!

As of Plasma 6.5.3... do LightlyShaders and LightlyShaders Blur no longer appear under Desktop Effects? I've done the whole recompile-reinstall dance. Lemme know if any other info would be helpful <3

I think both LightlyShaders and LightlyShaders Blur still appear under "Desktop Effects" in KDE Plasma 6.5.3.
Maybe you should reboot your device or restart your plasmashell?

[ZacharyTalis]

I've uninstalled/reinstalled the effect, restarted my computer, all that jazz. Will do more debugging and keep ya in the loop :3

[ZacharyTalis]

Update: /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/kwin/effects/plugins had the wrong permissions for some reason! All I had to do was run sudo chmod a+rx plugins... learned a bunch about Kwin in the process though!

[audreylandgrave]

weird, I still have this problem even after changing the permissions.
I can see the files, it's just not in the effects’ settings tab.
do you remember doing anything else?

plasma 6.5.4 though

[ZacharyTalis]

@audreylandgrave things to try:

1. sudo make uninstall/reboot/rebuild/reinstall/yada yada
2. Make sure /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/kwin/effects/configs also has the proper permissions
3. Check if KWin sees the effects, either using qdbusviewer (path is org.kde.KWin > Effects > org.kde.kwin.Effects) or KWin's Debug Console
4. See if other C++-based effects (such as Glass) install properly

[audreylandgrave]

@ZacharyTalis

1. I did all the basics. uninstall/rebuild/reinstall/reboot
2. The permissions match with plugins a+rx
3. Kwin sees them in the list of effects, but they are not loaded, or active. Tried to run loadEffect and it just returns false. journal doesn't log anything when trying to load it :/
4. I have glass too, you are another connoisseur :) I see, but yeah same with glass. It shows in the list but it's not loaded or active. It's weird. None of the user installed ones are loaded or active, but exist in the list.
   Thanks for your help by the way. Maybe it's just a bug in .4 have you gone from .3 to .4 yet?

[ZacharyTalis]

@audreylandgrave will upgrade later today and letcha know how it goes <3

[ZacharyTalis]

@audreylandgrave Sorry for the delay: after upgrading to .4 then recompiling/reinstalling the effects, they show up in Settings.

In any case, if they're showing up in the listOfEffects list, then you've got a different issue than what I was facing. Sadly I don't think I'm of any help :(

Sorry for interruption, but I don't think what are you taking about is related to this P.R. In other words, you are talking here off-topic, here is not "Help Center" but the discussion board for PR, you should feedback the issue with this PR, not the issue caused by yourself.
So, please talking your "issues" in other places but not here. I will close this P.R. as I received lots of off-topic discussion in my email and this project seems dead.

[ZacharyTalis]

@ShionKanagawa Apologies! It was difficult to determine at first if the issues we were dealing with were related to the PR, but now we can say with confidence that they're not.

Here's hoping there's a revival or fork of this outstanding project...

@ShionKanagawa I hope you don't mind that I've included your fix in my PR for updating for KDE 6.6 #166
Thanks for your original PR!
