Kde system settings crash when clicking on kernel

When I open system settings and click on Kernel system settings crashes and when I say crashes it disappears from the screen.

Hi @MAYBL8,

Please open it from a terminal with the command:

systemsettings

…and provide any output it provides when you do that and this happens.

Hope you manage!

[demo@manjaro ~]$ systemsettings

Thank you! Now let’s hope the smart people sees it, because I see it and I’m completely lost…

Here is my system info if that helps:

:face_with_peeking_eye:
you again… your system is messed up…

and what is this parameter?:

it should be like this:
acpi_osi='Windows 2022'

In trying to get bluetooth working on this laptop I was instructed on this site to use that statement.
I updated from what I was told to match the current version of Windows that is on this system.
Okay I might have read it wrong.
Let me fix it.

This is what it shows without me changing anything

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet pci=nocrs acpi=force acpi_osi='Windows 2022' ibt=off"

this looks ok, you can save it, and update grub:
sudo update-grub

did that
Rebooted
Still same issue

[demo@manjaro ~]$ systemsettings

that parameter is not likely related to this issue, i just noticed it…
just to check, post output from:
grep CMDLINE /etc/default/grub


and with the system settings, i told you in the another thread with the python issues that your system is messed up…


do you have installed these plugins?

[demo@manjaro ~]$ grep CMDLINE /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet pci=nocrs acpi=force acpi_osi='Windows 2022' ibt=off"
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=UUID=0bfed5f2-15d2-4371-8c86-968ce79f3f57:cryptroot"

I browsed with pacman gui but it didn’t show those packages
How do I check for plugins?
And I’m sure my system was messed up but I thought with the steps we took before we fixed things.
I know I didn’t reinstall everything but I haven’t ran every application and every option in every application.
Please don’t give up on me.
I am trying to do the right thing.

check with:
pacman -Qs 'libpamac-flatpak-plugin|libpamac-snap-plugin'


no, we didnt fixed it, as you can see… but i dont think that now even the reinstall would help haha

[demo@manjaro ~]$ pamac -Qs 'libpamac-flatpak-plugin|libpamac-snap-plugin'
Available actions:
  pamac --version     
  pamac --help, -h     [action]
  pamac search         [options] <package(s)>
  pamac list           [options] <package(s)>
  pamac info           [options] <package(s)>
  pamac install        [options] <package(s)>
  pamac reinstall      [options] <package(s)>
  pamac remove         [options] [package(s)]
  pamac checkupdates   [options]
  pamac update,upgrade [options]
  pamac clone          [options] <package(s)>
  pamac build          [options] [package(s)]
  pamac clean          [options]

sorry, wrong command:
pacman -Qs 'libpamac-flatpak-plugin|libpamac-snap-plugin'


and the crash happens only when you click on the kernel option?

[demo@manjaro ~]$ pacman -Qs 'libpamac-flatpak-plugin|libpamac-snap-plugin'
local/libpamac-flatpak-plugin 11.4.1-1
    Flatpak plugin for Pamac
local/libpamac-snap-plugin 11.4.1-1
    Snap plugin for Pamac

I haven’t clicked every option but that one for sure.

so check the options… but it looks like the system settings are not the issue, but pamac is…
reinstall them and see if there are any errors:

sudo pacman -S libpamac-flatpak-plugin libpamac-snap-plugin

With those plugins installed it causes the issue.
I removed both of those and it is working correctly.
To my knowledge I don’t use flatpaks or snaps.
I might have played around with some snaps in the past but nothing as of now that I know of.

So you got me curious and I clicked on Hardware configuration and it just displayed a black screen
Never mind clicked on it a second time and it worked.

is the screenshot accurate, because it looks messed up… this is how it should look:
