Does it ever happen on Wayland? Or only on X11? I did 10 cycles of logout and login back into X11, and then into wayland. With X11 it happened literally every second time: tray icon is present, missing, present, missing, present, missing, etc, i.e. 5 out of 10 times it reproduced for me today. With wayland it never reproduced in 10 tries. Considering how often it reproduced for me on X11, I've decided not to continue trying at the moment. I didn't hit this issue with plasma 6.1.2. If I don't do "plasmashell --restart", next time tray icon usually is also missing. Any additional info needed? Created attachment 176659 [details]

I did a bit of debugging and noticed some additional hint at what's going on wrong.
When no language name is present in tray as icon, when I do right mouse button click on keyboard layout tray item, I get tray menu with 1 item: "Configure keyboard layout widget...".
When everything works fine, I get tray menu with 4 items: 1 as above and 3 with languages.
I assume that for some reason keyboard layout tray component loads sometimes faster than plasma loads keyboard layouts, and since there are no keyboard layouts, there is nothing to display in tray.

Committed on 02/02/2025 at 02:14. Pushed by fusionfuture into branch 'Plasma/6.3'. keyboardlayout: wait for org.kde.keyboard service from kded asynchronously When X11 KDE session is starting, kded6 is started before kwin_x11 and plasmashell. kded6 is considered started when org.kde.kded6 dbus service is up. At that moment org.kde.keyboard dbus service is not up yet, but kwin_x11 and plasmashell are started. plasmashell expects org.kde.keyboard dbus service to be available when it runs, but due to scheduling kded6 may not start org.kde.keyboard service before plasmashell attempts to use it. To make keyboard layout applet work even in that case, wait asynchronously for org.kde.keyboard service if it's not running at the moment. FIXED-IN: 6.3.0 (cherry picked from commit 0ec684194c637e564253e17b92b83aeb57f3ec16) Co-authored-by: Dark Templar <darktemplar@dark-templar-archives.net> M +19 -4 components/keyboardlayout/keyboardlayout.cpp M +3 -0 components/keyboardlayout/keyboardlayout.h https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/ae8f289bd9a9e50acaa3b814b99cd84b94a6ac1e |
Created attachment 175442 [details] kde layout tray bug.png SUMMARY Sometimes when I start plasma 6.2.0 X11 session, language layout tray icon is missing. Restarting plasmashell via "Alt+F2, plasmashell --replace" fixes issue. It doesn't happen every time. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start plasma 6.2.0 X11 session OBSERVED RESULT Sometimes language layout tray icon is missing. EXPECTED RESULT Language layout tray icon should always be present. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Gentoo Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.7.3 Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have line like this in my ~/.bash_profile: [ -d ~/.cache ] && tmpwatch 30d --exclude-pattern icon-cache\\.kcache ~/.cache But issue happens like every 3 days, not 30 days. It started happening with plasma 6.2.0. Pressing language layout switch button still switches the language, just indication of language currently used is missing. Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using "restore last session" option for session management.
