Plasma-systemmonitor doesn't start

suddenly I can’t start systemmonitor from the menu. I hear HDD that a process try to start but it does nothing.
I tried to do it via konsole but it does do nothing either.
Just

$ plasma-systemmonitor
$

no messages, no errors

What happend?

Hi,

It works on my side after this update, did you try to reinstall the software ?

Probably the program segfaulted. Did you check it’s exit code when starting from command line ?

$ echo $?

To view a list of core dumps use

$ coredumpctl

yes, I reinstalled it but it is still the same (nothing)

I’m not sure what to expect but I can’t find any info.
I do something in wrong way probably.

$ plasma-systemmonitor
$ echo $?

That output says plasma-systemmonitor executes and exits normally without any problems.
As there were some people who installed -git versions of kde/plasma packages, please check yours:

$ pacman -Qs '\-git$'

the result is:

local/kconfig-git .r773.gb57c7ad-1 (kf5-git)
Configuration system
local/ki18n-git .r436.gf88e694-1 (kf5-git)

A QtQuick based components set
local/krecorder-git r75.gc156ea7-1
Audio recorder for Plasma Mobile and other platforms

I installed kde-manjaro from iso and then updated it us pamac sugested.
What did I wrong and how to correct problems?

Don’t know what went wrong but those few *-git packages don’t match your system and have to be replaced. Try explicitly installing their counterparts and answer “yes” when asked to replace:

$ sudo pacman -S kconfig ki18n kirigami2 krecorder

I installed ki18n kconfig and kirigami2 using pamac. This action removed ki18n-git kconfig-git , kirigami2-git and krecorder-git.

pacman -Qs '-git

returns nothing (empty string).

plasma-systemmonitor

It works after restart. Thank you.

additionally :slight_smile:
You help me to solve my other problem

For some reason, krecorder 0.1 is not in the X64 repos yet. So it only has krecorder-git.

yes, I noticed that it was something wrong. Thank you for note.
I started to use Audio Recorder in Launchpad
I used it when I used Mint.

With this app I can choose source and quality of mp3.
