SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a SDDM theme;
2. In the middle of the installation prompt, close the System Settings window (don't close the password prompt dialog)

OBSERVED RESULT
System Settings doesn't open anymore unless systemsettings5 process is ended in KSysGuard.

EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 21.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This problem also happens when installing icon packs from the repositories such as pocillo-icon-theme and papirus-icon-theme. I don't know if this is related.

Can confirm, yikes.
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2021-05-03 20:43:47 UTC 
My guess is that there is a running KJob somewhere that prevents the app from closing completely
Comment 3 Lua 2021-05-18 00:28:49 UTC 
I just had this bug when installing an iconpack package via terminal. After killing the systemsettings5 process, I was able to relaunch System Settings with no problems.
