This means that a required module is not installed. This would be the result of either a distro packaging bug (not installing it automatically when it should be) or user error (removing it, or failing to install it during a manual setup process). If you are unable to figure out the issue, other Arch users might be of assistance.

Thank you Nate for pointing me in the right direction and confirming that at first glance it has nothing to do with module itself.

I will try getting assistance from the distro side.

Do you happen to know the name of a package which usually contains this module? ( even from other distributions, it would be helpful to locate the issue)
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-09-24 20:35:07 UTC
I don't, sorry. I expected it to be in "plasma-workspace" itself, which presumably you already have. "knotifications" may also be something to search for.
