Created attachment 132268 [details] Screenshot of the missing buttons SUMMARY After updating my arch linux I found that the power buttons and restart buttons are gone from the bottom left corner of the fullscreen application dashboard, leaving aside their dear friend logout button. However I do see all the power buttons in the confirm exit dialogue box, after clicking the log out button. So from there, I'm able to shutdown and restart my PC for now. I did try restoring the missing buttons, but they all worked as a temporary fix. At first I tried deleting the old instance of the "app dashboard" widget from the dock and add a fresh new instance of it. Later I tried adding the missing buttons from the "power/session" category. This all worked for the current session and restarting the computer yet again makes our login button isolated. Poor login button! :( STEPS TO REPRODUCE I know this is going to be very difficult but I'm not really sure about the steps to reproduce this bug. The only thing that I did was updated my arch linux and after a restart, I noticed that the buttons are gone. OBSERVED RESULT The login button is isolated at the button left corner of the app dashboard. EXPECTED RESULT Should be with their pals shutdown and restart buttons.

Hi, I am facing the same issue and have not been able to resolve it. Your workaround works for me as well and the exact behaviour is observed in my system as well. Did you happen to find a solution? Thanks.
If you're looking for a permanent fix then probably not. I also don't think that this will be fixed by the developers any time soon.
Are you facing this issue on the default KDE panel or do you use something like Latte Dock? I was using latte dock when this issue hit me, I removed latte dock and am using the default panel now where this issue does not seem to exist. If you are using a custom dock/panel, can you try switching temporarily to the default one and see if this issue persists? Maybe this is not a KDE bug/issue.
I have the same issue, and moving them from the power/session section worked for a while (just reset every reboot) I upgraded to 5.20 today, and now they're gone from the power/session section too.

It does seem like a compatibility issue. I am unaware if it is from Latte dock's side or KDE's. I think you should raise a bug report there as well. Might help speed things up.
Now the buttons are missing from my power session as well similar to what Issac reported lol.

Aditya have you tried with fresh new instance of the latte? Does this issue persist there?
I just updated to v5.20.0-2 and restarted my system a couple of times. I can still find the options in my power/session section. I am not sure why this is such a random issue. > Aditya have you tried with fresh new instance of the latte? Does this issue persist there? I have uninstalled latte dock so I can't comment on that, sorry. Also, my hibernate button seems to be missing from the confirm exit screen (the one you get when you select logout/restart/shutdown)

But if I remeber correctly, I installed some packages related to power and I got it after that. Sorry I don't remember what exactly the package name is but you can try searching for power related packages in arch.
Most likely related: I am developing another fullscreen application launcher and I've had reports of people who also have their shutdown and restart buttons gone as well. I've also had the same experience recently, running the following Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.13.13-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 2 × Intel® Celeron® N4000 CPU @ 1.10GHz Memory: 7,6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 600 The way we "feed" both our application launchers with said session management buttons. We both use an ItemGridView whose model is "systemFavorites". This is a model fed by the extremely troublesome rootModel API nobody knows how it exactly works and nobody involved seems to be willing to document it. (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/kicker/plugin/rootmodel.h). This is most likely the culprit, because it's extremely unlikely *both* this applet and mine are featuring the exact same bug. As a workaround, I'm thinking of using the session management applet buttons that are available for download in the KDE Plasmoids store, but this code makes direct usage of qdbus calls which is similar to punching the fullscreen leave screen in the face, as it goes straight through it and won't even show it.
I am also facing the same issue on KDE neon (with kde 5.23.4). I also use latte dock and the shutdown and restart button disappear after a restart or a shutdown.
Same problem happens on Plasma 5.24 either.

In "native" Plasma containments like the panel, desktop, and plasmawindowed, the `LogindSessionBackend` in `libkworkspace` enters the "Ready" state nearly instantly, before any signals can even be attached. In other containments like Latte Dock and plasmoidviewer, however, the initialization takes some time to complete (unsure why).
