Simple screenshot of the error message.
SUMMARY
Upon a fresh install of KDE Neon User Edition, downloaded from the KDE website,
pactl, which is required for the Info Center's Audio tab to function, was
missing or undetected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download KDE Neon from https://neon.kde.org/download
2. Install KDE Neon
3. Navigate to the Audio tab of Info Center
OBSERVED RESULT
A error message reading:
The pactl tool is required to display this page, but could not be found.
You can search for it and install it using your package manager.
Then please report this packaging issue to your distribution.
EXPECTED RESULT
Presumably an audio page.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 6.2
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I doubt this is a major problem, considering the second line of the error
message, but it did tell me to report the issue, so I've decided to follow my
orders. As previously stated, this neon install has only existed for ~half an
hour, and I've not deleted anything yet or strayed too far from the default
settings. Sound itself seems to work fine, the sound tab in the system settings
looks ok, and installing pulseaudio utils fixed it.
If need be, I'm willing to reinstall neon to see if things misbehave again.
