Hi,

in order to solve an issue with default laptop screen, i had to installed KDE 5.6.5 on my mother's laptop.
However, she likes more the menu launch than standard launcher. I also added some apps to taskbar and hide some notification from systray where is the clock.

For an unknown reason, after laptop restarts all customization disappears and i have to do it all again.
Under KDE 5.5.5 i've never experienced the problem.

So what it's going on with KDE 5.6.5 ?
How to fix this issue ?
thx

The Usual Suspects

The plasma can't write/read the configuration files
- check the owner of the $Home/.config/plasma* files

The plasma can't parse the configuration files.
- start with the clean $Home/.config/plasma* files. (Examine if the problem is local: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=38828 )


Error messages ?

Does the .xsession-errors have error messages ?
Does the systemd journal have error messages ?
If you start the plasmashell from the terminal are there error messages ?

More

When you edit the plasma desktop is the customization saved to the $Home/.config/plasma* files ?

In fact the file: plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
has been changed from owner to root:root

after restoring to the correct owner, everything seems to be back.

thx for the answer
