Last night I emerge --sync'ed and emerged world and it appeared that a lot of new KDE applications were upgraded. Today when I rebooted though KDE is not launching the Kicker/application panel/start menu/whatever it's called now. is it possible to manually start it from the konsole if not how can I fix this?

OK since no one is helping me with this can anyone tell me if it is possible to downgrade back to kde-plasma-5.10.x?

I'm running plasma 5.12.5 and have never seen this. Have you tried any alternative widgets (application launcher, application dashboard, etc)? Have you tried creating a new userid to see if the menu works there? If so, there must be something wrong with your user's kde config somewhere.

Now that you mention it I should try it with another user account. But right now I am using latte-dock as an alternative to the plasma-panel/krunner or whatever it is called now.

I just created a brand new test user all with default configs and immediately logged in as that user. No kde panel came up and when I right clicked on the desktop to "add a new panel" nothing happened. So I guess now I can rule out if it was a bad configuration file.

OK WTF someone please help. This is getting annoying. My SSD died last weekend so I had to go and buy another one and re-install Gentoo on it. After a fresh install (I didn't import configs or files from my old install) I am having the same issue. Is this a bug? I can't be the only person having this issue.

need to re-open as this is happening again. It seems to happen more when I have my laptop docked and have an external screen in use and the laptop screen disabled.

it's been almost an entire year and I am still having this issue. I was hoping that sometime in the future maybe through update this would finally get resolved. But apparently not.

What version are you using now? The answer could vary based on when you synced, your architecture, and your current keywords.

Since the last thread activity was several years ago, are you still seeing the problem in 5.25.5? I only responded back then because you said you were seeing the problem again. If the problem has since gone away, then the thread going quiet is not a problem.

This issue comes and goes from time to time, I've never figured it out.
