SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. boot or login to kde 2. battery icon is missing OBSERVED RESULT unable to check remaining battery and set brightness EXPECTED RESULT battery icon should be there when charging SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux Distro: Arch Linux with kernel 5.16.8 Zen (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION as a workaround I have to restart plasma to make the battery icon show again by running "killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell" idk what makes this happen but it was fine before plasma 5.24
Nate, is this another of those caching issues? How can people check logs of plasma and kwin on startup (i.e. when they are launched automatically in background instead of manually from a terminal)? KazuhiroShigeru, is there an «broken applet» icon instead? Maybe it is hidden in systray on login? Or is it like missing completely and whatsoever? Could you please also check (which in such glitched state) what's in the «powermanager» data engine in the Plasma Engine Explorer, and attach some screenshots?

Or is it like missing completely and whatsoever? it was using the default config. it it always there when using battery and charging and hides when battery is full. so it was completely missing. > > Could you please also check (which in such glitched state) what's in the > > «powermanager» data engine in the Plasma Engine Explorer, and attach some > > screenshots? added screenshots > edit. after updating, it seems to be fixed now. the applet was set to > autohide when battery was fully charged so it shows always when charging or > using battery. last arch update updated core plasma components and it seems like it fixed the battery applet.
