After updating my Manjaro to Plasma 6 I’ve encountered a weird problem: proxy settings in chromium are not working.
If you try to go to chrome://settings/system and click on “Open your computer’s proxy settings”, you’ll get an error:
“Could not load plugin from /usr/bin/proxy: Failed to extract plugin meta data from ‘/usr/bin/proxy’: ‘/usr/bin/proxy’ is not a Qt plugin (metadata not found)”
(see attached screenshot).
I had enabled proxy for some experiments before (usually I don’t need it) and forgot to disable, I couldn’t get it to work. Thanx God, it’s my secondary browser, usually I’m on Firefox.
I had to rename ~/.config/chromium to something else and to reinstall it from scratch.
Now it works, but proxy settings still couldn’t be changed.
I’we searched on google and found the same error on Arch forum, and they said “it’s problem of chromium, let’s tell them”.
Maybe somebody knows the solution?
P.S. From console:
$ kcmshell6 proxy
kf.coreaddons: “Could not load plugin from /usr/bin/proxy: Failed to extract plugin meta data from ‘/usr/bin/proxy’: ‘/usr/bin/proxy’ is not a Qt plugin (metadata not found)”
