Description Christian Muehlhaeuser 2018-06-20 07:06:37 UTC

Every time I login my application menu's favorites are empty. I can add favorites and will remain there as long as the session is open. But as soon as I log out and back in again, the favorites are all gone again.

This seems to be a regression in either 5.13 or 5.13.1.

Apparently deleting ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/ and ~/.config/kactivitymanagerd-statsrc fixes the issue: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kde-can-t-add-favorites-to-app-starter-menu/33538/13?u=atharvalele

Have Plasma 5.13.3-1 running on Arch 4.17.8-1. If I mark an item as Favorite, it will show up on the Application>Favorites menu for that session, but will be gone on reboot.

Deleting ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources and rebooting to recreate it seems to work, now I also have History back.

I had the same problem and the same solution did help.

Comment 4 Oscar Megia Lopez 2018-09-09 06:47:26 UTC

I have Archlinux kernel 4.18.6-arch1-1-ARCH and plasma-desktop 5.13.5-1.

As ikidd3123@gmail.com, deleting ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources and his content, logout from session and relogin again solved the issue.

Also I have history back.

This was fixed a few releases ago due to some activity manager improvements.
