ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-10-28 03:18:03 UTC
Have you verified that there wasn't a zombie process for it still running in the background, preventing a new instance from being launched?

Does it print anything in a terminal window?

Does it work on Wayland?

That's probably the case, roughly speaking. Not exactly a zombie, just a running process without a window.

When I kill that process and restart "plasma-systemmonitor" from Yakuake, no window shows up and I see the following on the terminal:

```
$ plasma-systemmonitor
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/systemmonitor/Main.qml:33:26: Type GlobalMenu unavailable

file:///usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/newstuff/QuestionAsker.qml:134:23: Kirigami.BasicListItem is not a type
```

Haven't tried on Wayland.

Btw, this new check is on Fedora 41 & plasmashell 6.2.4 (I upgraded in the meantime).
Comment 6 Arjen Hiemstra 2024-12-17 11:57:33 UTC
Why is your Qt 6 System Monitor trying to load a Qt 5 version of KNewStuff? That looks like a serious misconfiguration of either your system or your distribution.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2024-12-17 15:12:22 UTC
Yes, that's clearly not going to work. :) There's some kind of local misconfiguration at play here.
