KDE plasma system settings blank

Hello!
I opened my system settings today and got greeted with the error message “No items matching your search”, in place of all KDEs settings, even though I have not searched anything.

Opening a setting from plasma search does not work (leads to the same screen as above) but shortcuts under “Frequently used” still work, although navigation on the left side shows the same.

The last thing I did that I believe probably could have caused this is switching branches to testing, realizing that it bricked my laptop, and restoring from a timeshift BTRFS snapshot.

Opening settings from the terminal produces the following:

e@c ~> systemsettings5                                                                               16:32
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

I am running on wayland, but could reproduce it in xorg with no console errors.

System stuff:

Any advice on what to do?

not sure about all the things … but lets start with:
sudo pacman-mirrors -g && sudo pacman -Syyu
(post output of final transactions and/or errors)

Hello!
pacman-mirrors seemed to go smoothly save for some of the mirrors throwing errors (I guess that is expected)

pacman on the other hand has a warning:

warning: archlinux-keyring: local (20211028-1) is newer than core (20210902-1)
 there is nothing to do

I had a few snapshots in a short amount of time and may have restored from the wrong one. (after switching branches I believe there were two seperate updates, one for the keyring, other for everything else, and I may have restored from the one after the keyring update)

Reverting the keyring with sudo pacman -Syyuu (and a restart) removed the error but plasma settings are still blank. So that may have been unrelated

The output now is

uh … maybe you need to manually select a mirror because that appears woefully wrong.

(flag for pacman-mirrors is -i … and always at least -Syyu after mirror changes)

After re-pinging all the mirrors it presents me with a GUI:

How many/what countries should I select? Is “sync” important for me?

Update

Ok, I selected 3 or so that were close to me and had a low sync time, but the -syyu response did not change. Will try a restart and see if the settings fixed themselves

…aaand it did not

I’m still learning myself, but thought I’d throw an idea out there… that may be based on some assumptions on my end.

I don’t know how differently TimeShift with BTRFS works versus RSYNC (which I use), but I do recall in my case that the default for TimeShift was to not backup the HOME directory… which of course contains a lot of saved configs, etc.

In my case, I had installed BackInTime to manage my HOME backups separate from TimeShift.

I have 2 suggestions:

  1. Try restore a HOME folder backup (last known good prior to branch switch)… or if you don’t want to try that first…
  2. Try create and log into a new user account to see how things behave there… this way you’d have a better idea if it’s an issue with the environment/apps (borked for even a new user) or an issue with your profile/HOME (because everything looks fine under the new account) that could be fixed by restoring your backup of it prior to swapping branches

I’m not 100% sure, but I’m under the impression that a proper restore/overwrite of a HOME folder may include booting from a Live USB.

Could be config/cache related: did you check if this is affects a fresh user as well?

Try cleaning plasma cache: KDE - ArchWiki

Indeed, probably an issue with configs for new Plasma (from his testing branch switch), on his current old Plasma.

Totally forgot to update!
I created a new user, moved over all my files over, and deleted the old one. That resolved my issue.

I guess an alternative would be to either for me to keep home directory snapshots/backups and restore from that (I had my important folders deja-duped so I was not that concerned about data loss, but that means I could not recover with just that), or wait for the stable branch to catch up.
