plasma-hud is always "giving up"

[lytex]

I couldn't get plasma-hud working, using Kubuntu 20.10.

Perhaps I'm missing some dependency
I have enabled DEBUG logging mode on the script:

In Ubuntu 20.10 (probably also in Ubuntu 20.04) you have to compile appmenu-qt since it's not in the repos anymore.

Manually install appmenu-qt from one of these sources:

• https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu
• https://store.kde.org/p/1274975/

Even after installing appmenu-qt, I still get:

DEBUG:root:_KDE_NET_WM_APPMENU_SERVICE_NAME: None
DEBUG:root:_KDE_NET_WM_APPMENU_OBJECT_PATH: None

What are they supposed to look like with appmenu installed?

Do you have a global menu widget, or the appmenu button in the window decoration?

Edit: Also, firefox probably won't work since it doesn't export it's menu by default. You need a patched version of firefox. If the Global Menu widget doesn't work, then plasma-hud won't either.
