Added a widget to the network speed panel. After that, the desktop froze. Nothing clicks. I can open programs and settings only with buttons through the terminal. How to remove network speed widget from panel via terminal? Or what are the options? Restoring through Timeshift did not help, the widget remained. Help me, please.
Can it perhaps help to restart the “plasmashell” once?
It doesn’t require sudo.
systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell
After that, it should start again by itself.
Edit:
Or you can simply delete the configuration file that is responsible for the widgets. This will reset your panel to factory settings. Which takes effect after a user relog or a restart.
All you have to do is delete the conf file with:
rm /home/YOURUSERNAME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
And then once: logout or reboot
There shouldn’t be any problems, because no sudo rights are needed. When you log in, the file automatically recreates itself.
Elaborate, we have to fill in the gaps in your explanation. What did you add exactly, to what, how? Make sentences, add the most details. If you’re talking about adding the official Network Speed widget into the Panel, it is local configuration it has nothing to do with the system and your system backups.
For information I added the Network Speed KDE 6 widget to my Panel, it works.
Also did you just reboot before posting?
Thanks, I solved the problem. After entering this command, I got 3 seconds, during this time I managed to remove the panel and the system started working.
Then added a new panel and everything is fine.
Added standard KDE widget. After adding the widget in the settings you can choose how it will look, there is some buggy version of the look that causes the system to hang.
OK, for future reference it should be an entry (actually multiple, as some entries are for the various possible configuration of the widget) in the configuration file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
Why don’t you tell us what option are crashing the system so we know?
//EDIT: OK if you set the “process table” as a style, it indeed has issues to make a graph of the network speed as a process table. Setting this as a “style” makes no sense though, even if available. As it is a very modular widget (it is the same base where you select options, sensors, things like that), I guess having the option available makes sense, but it should not crash even if the user makes a bad choice.
Needs to be reported but I’m done with reporting to KDE personally.
//EDIT2 after following reply: right click the widget and click Show Alternatives, all these widgets here are actually the same, with different parameters, and I just discovered a KDE 6 bug, you can not exit the popup that opens when clicking Show Alternatives, you need to select an item for the popup to disappear…
Added a standard network speed widget. I chose an option “Table of programs” option froze again with this option
Can you inform the developers of KDE about this problem, because I’m a newbie, I don’t know how to do it. So that the system does not break for others when choosing “Table of programs”.
So answer is basically “nope” in general. Takes too much time and effort to get to the point when reporting things anyone (in KDE team) could verify with a 10 seconds check that the simple bug report is accurate enough. Also I’m using Manjaro, and we don’t have the needed debug symbols or whatever needed to do proper full report with logs and all they require to accept a report.
I still reported it because you asked but I will not reply or add more info to this bug report, it is reported, it is on them now.

//EDIT: you can create a KDE account there so you can report bugs too by yourself.
