The system settings doesn't open

the system settings does not open after I have changed the style of the windows, is it possible to enter safe mode with the default theme settings? for me to change that. And I have another question, how do I open system settings from the terminal?

Welcome to the forum! :slight_smile:

Um, there is to the best of my knowledge no such thing as “safe mode” like you get in Microsoft Windows. GNU/Linux is an entirely different operating system. :man_shrugging:

nohup systemsettings5 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

sorry, i’m a beginner. I used the command on the terminal, but it didn’t open. I just changed the style of the apps in the application style option and this is happening. funny that all applications are working normally, except the system settings.

is there another way to change styles other than system settings?

Well, starting System Settings from the command line would normally produce output, but the command I gave you suppresses that. Try this instead…: :arrow_down:

systemsettings5

Not for window decorations, no. But since you haven’t told us what exactly you did, we also have no idea what you may have corrupted along the way. What you could eventually do is delete the following files ─ make a backup copy first…:

  • ~/.config/kwin*
  • ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/*
  • ~/.cache/kwin/qmlcache/*

But that is all if your problem is with the window decorations. If it’s with another aspect of the theming, then we’re going to have to look elsewhere. :thinking:

I used systemsettings5 and that was the result, does it say anything?

I think I’m going to reinstall the system, I already wanted to clean it up. Thank you for your help.

Got the same problem as this guy, i changed my window decoration in the customization section of the System Settings and now it doesn’t open, i’d like to know a way to fix this without needing to resort to reinstalling the system

This is what shows up when i run the systemsettings5 command

I too am having similar issues of not being able to change themes or start systemsettings5. Its crashing my plasmashell as well.
If I try and run systemssettings5 from bash:

I had similar issues, so that only some of the systemsettings parts (e.g., systemd) worked fine, but clicking on the workspace, windows, display, etc. options would crash systemsettings.

The clue to fixing it was that running ss5 via a different user worked fine, pointing to a problem in the .config files. (Starting ss5 via terminal showed errors that were similar in the crashing and working users–not helpful.)

Restoring a backup of ~.config/ fixed the issue. Setting global theme, plasma, application style, and window decorations to some combination of breath or breeze brought the bug back. Restoring backup and setting the global theme, plasma & application style, and window decorations to oxygen worked fine. Some part of breathn or breeze or some other plasma style was causing the problem.

You can download a icon theme as xxx.tar.xz from “gnome-look” website , and run System Setting from command line:
systemsettings5 /path/to/downloadedtheme.tar.xz.
This will replace the missing pack for once and allow you to enter the panel to modify manually.

Just had the same issue. . . .won’t initialize after changing the theme. . . .this is garbage. . . . time for another OS ‘shell’ . . . guess I’ll see if gnome crashes. . . . .

Rich :wink:

Same issue as threxel. The sad part is this is a fresh install, all I’ve done is update apps once. I didn’t even change the theme!

By the way, running systemsettings5 on a downloaded theme produced a similar error.

*edit: reboot helped but I worry for other noobies.
$shutdown -r now

Hi,guys. I had the same issue and now found the answer from reddit/r/ManjaroLinux/comments/hl9oox/i_broke_kde5_settings_with_a_theme/ .

just run systemsettings5 --style=Breeze in the konsole,then the system settings open, now you can change the global theme back and apply.

the “-style” can’t be found in the output of systemsettings5 --help-all, but it works.
hope it help you.

I have the same problem , but this all started when i installed “xfce” desktop in manjaro kde . in the installation it said ‘’‘the manjaro-settings-manager is conflicting between xfce settings manager, do you want to remove manjaro settings manager’’’. and then i clicked yes , and after that xfce and kde both run fluidly but i cant access the settings in kde. If i run systemsettings5 in the terminal it gives ----- ‘’’’ systemsettings5: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libsystemsettingsview.so.3: undefined symbol: _ZN14KCModuleLoader10isDefaultsERK12KCModuleInfoRK11QStringList ‘’’.
Now i need help , can anyone help me in this problem, thanks in advance.

Whilst seemingly not “frowned upon” so much here as on other Forums, I’d still generally advise against the practice due to issues/conflicts with configurations as you experienced here.

You might be able to repair the damage by reinstalling those packages which were removed. Hopefully those Xfce settings won’t in practice conflict with the KDE ones but adding more than one DE is not something I’ve tried myself.

It works!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks, solved the problem for me too!

Worked for me. Thank you. A lifesaver. I had changed the application style to Chameleon - I won’t be doing that again!

love you
