Look and Feel system settings module freezes when I check "Use desktop layout from theme". Here is the output from konsole neon@neon:~$ systemsettings5 org.kde.kcoreaddons: Error loading plugin "kcm_lookandfeel" "The shared library was not found." Plugin search paths are ("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins", "/usr/bin") The environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH might be not correctly set Trying to use rootObject before initialization is completed, whilst using setInitializationDelayed. Forcing completion file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_lookandfeel/contents/ui/main.qml:48:13: QML GridView: Binding loop detected for property "cellWidth" file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_lookandfeel/contents/ui/main.qml:48:13: QML GridView: Binding loop detected for property "cellWidth" file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_lookandfeel/contents/ui/main.qml:48:13: QML GridView: Binding loop detected for property "cellWidth" file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_lookandfeel/contents/ui/main.qml:48:13: QML GridView: Binding loop detected for property "cellWidth" file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_lookandfeel/contents/ui/main.qml:181: ReferenceError: needsSave is not defined Killed You can reproduce this by downloading DBreeze theme and checking "Use desktop layout from theme" Works fine with other themes. I can only speculate that other look and feel packages does not use "org.kde.plasma.desktop-layout.js" You can also reproduce by using this theme https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxDJoO8w2-J5enJveE0zWVJrNTA Another thing, works fine when launching directly via krunner or kcmshell5 kcm_lookandfeel
