After recent update providing Plasma-6 different apps fail or stop working.
System monitor shuts down when clicking on any item in Application section.plasmashell shows crash window (Crash handler window with prompt to report) when resuming from suspendScreen-locking : after a minute or so on screen-locking the display image gets frozen and fan gets constantly noisy (intensive work) until I switch to TTY-1, then get back to TTY-2 and unlock the screen. In htop I could notice for a moment that most CPU consumption jumped between plasmashell or kwin_x11. That happens every time (since that recent update).Spectacle does not work:
17.05.24 16:31 spectacle Screenshot request failed: “The process is not authorized to take a screenshot”
$ inxi -bX.Org v: 21.1.13 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.6 driver: X:
I had the same problem with system monitor and I fixed it by deleting the “~/.config/systemmonitorrc” file.
can you boot with another kernel ?
I’ve been on 6.6 LTS and had the same.
That one I have experienced my self.
I think I removed spectaclerc from .config
As general rule for this major change - we all had to do so - remove all plasma related configuration from - best done when looged out and switching to a TTY
finally remove .cache
Unfortunately didn’t solve it for me. After update to Plasma 6 I have the same issue as @RomanPerekhrest
Try removing the .page files from ~/.local/share/plasma-systemmonitor/.
Seeing something similar in another thread was related to the use of the deprecated pipewire-media-session.
Which we might have seen also if a decent inxi was used;
inxi -Farz
$ inxi -Farz

This seems to show you have pipewire but its disabled?
Is this intentional?
To install the metapackage you could do
sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-pipewire
Which should install and enable pipewire services etc.
I’m on pulseaudio. Don’t pulseaudio and pipewire exclude each other?
Yous should consider updating system BIOS

System data is showing 2 incompatible sound servers running
Sound Server-3: PulseAudio v: 15.0 running: yes
Sound Server-4: PipeWire v: 0.3.40 running: yes
PipeWire cannot support audio unless PulseAudio is removed and replaced, but it can impede PulseAudio functions.
Install metapackage manjaro-pipewire to remove and replace PulseAudio packages
To …
rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma* && rm -rf ~/.config/plasma* ?
pipewire does not conflict with any PulseAudio packagespipewire-pulse conflicts with pulseaudio and pulseaudio-bluetoothpipewire-alsa conflicts with pulseaudio-alsa
I suggest check pipewire.socket and pipewire.service
systemctl --user -l status pipewire.socket pipewire.service
kpipewire might be failing to connect to PipeWire If the service is not running
That was one the worst resets: I’ve lost all my settings and sessions in different apps … and spectacle still does not work.

Can you remove the spectacle cache?
rm -r ~/.cache/spectacle
And maybe also the spectaclerc file?
rm ~/.config/spectaclerc
(neither of these would have been included in the above script)

Do you happen to have a spectacle launcher in ~/.local/share/applications ?
1 Like
I got ~/.local/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop there.

I dont know why.
We could investigate blah blah … but I say remove it or back it up by moving it somewhere else.
(the current/correct file should be provided at /usr/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop)
How does spectacle run then?
Yes, it’s working now. Why it happened to be placed in ~/.local/share/applications/ ?
