Сделай так по шагам.

1) Удалить отпечаток и выключить вход по пальцу
- Удалить отпечатки текущего пользователя:
  - `fprintd-delete $USER`
- Проверить, что отпечатков больше нет:
  - `fprintd-list $USER`
- Полностью выключить поддержку (на Manjaro/Arch самый простой путь):
  - `sudo pacman -Rns fprintd libfprint`
- Если пакет удалять не хочешь, тогда отключи в PAM:
  - `rg -n "pam_fprintd" /etc/pam.d`
  - в найденных файлах закомментируй строки с `pam_fprintd.so` (через `sudoedit`).

2) Черная полоса снизу после сна (панель/трей пропали)
Похоже на падение оболочки рабочего стола после resume.

Сначала быстрый фикс без перезагрузки:
- Если у тебя KDE Plasma (чаще всего в Manjaro):
  - `kquitapp6 plasmashell; kstart plasmashell`
  - если не сработало: `systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service`
- Если GNOME:
  - `Alt+F2`, введи `r`, Enter (только X11)
- Если XFCE:
  - `xfce4-panel -r`

Если после сна повторяется:
- Обнови систему и драйверы:
  - `sudo pacman -Syu`
- Посмотри ошибки после пробуждения:
  - `journalctl -b | rg -i "plasma|kwin|gpu|nvidia|amdgpu|suspend|resume"`

Если хочешь, дам точные команды под твое окружение — пришли вывод:
`echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP && loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID -p Type`

**Analyzing package removal and desktop issues**

To disable the fprintd package, I might need to run `sudo pacman -Rns fprintd`, and possibly `libfprint`, but I could break dependencies. Deleting enrolled fingerprints with `fprintd-delete $USER` seems safer, and I can disable it in the account settings GUI. For PAM, while `pam-auth-update` is easy, on Arch, I can edit `/etc/pam.d/system-local-login` and comment the line with pam_fprintd.

I also need to address the black screen after suspend—this might be a KDE issue that can often be fixed with commands like `kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell`. I might need to confirm the desktop environment to offer the right commands.
**Addressing KDE panel issues**

I need to edit each relevant file and comment out certain lines, keeping in mind that the user might not be very technical, but they can still follow commands. Since Manjaro defaults to KDE, I should assume that's the user's setup—though I’ll ask for clarification if it’s not. There might be issues with long sleep modes, possibly needing to disable deep sleep or adjust the suspend mode.

For immediate recovery of the missing panel without rebooting, here are the steps:

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F3 and log in.
2. Run either `export DISPLAY=:0; export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u); systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service` or, if typing in Konsole, simply `kquitapp6 plasmashell; kstart plasmashell`. If the service fails due to D-Bus issues, `DISPLAY=:0 plasmashell --replace & disown` may work better. I could suggest using the keyboard shortcut `Alt+Space` to open KRunner, though that might not work if the panel is gone.

Сейчас сделаю это за тебя: удалю отпечатки, отключу вход по пальцу на уровне системы и перезапущу оболочку рабочего стола, чтобы вернуть панель/трей без перезагрузки. Сначала определю окружение (KDE/GNOME/XFCE) и текущий статус `fprintd`, затем применю изменения.

**Executing commands cautiously**

I need to act on the user's machine and run shell commands. First, I'll check the terminals folder before moving ahead with any long-running tasks, although it might not be strictly necessary here. I must be cautious since we'll be making potentially destructive system changes, like uninstalling packages or editing /etc/pam.d. Should I ask for user confirmation? They mentioned doing everything, so I’ll prioritize safety and execute commands with sudo to avoid permission issues, ensuring commands’ outputs are summarized for the user.
**Executing shell commands**

I can run shell commands without file operations since the guidance says to avoid using shell for reading, writing, or editing files—specialized tools should be used instead. For searching in /etc/pam.d, I can use the rg tool across the path. It seems that using an absolute path is likely fine. Shell commands work for system operations and don’t need to be inside a repo; I can run them from the default workspace. I’ll also send a commentary update before proceeding with the execution.

Нашел: у тебя `KDE + Wayland`, отпечаток действительно записан. Теперь удаляю отпечаток, отключаю fingerprint-пакеты и перезапускаю `plasmashell`, чтобы вернуть нижнюю панель и трей.

**Figuring out package removal and commands**

I need to think through deleting and disabling some components. I’m considering using sudo, but it might fail due to no tty prompt. I'll first try commands with sudo -n and if those fail, I’ll ask the user to run them. Also, instead of uninstalling, I might modify pam. Since the user wants both removal and disabling, I'll attempt to remove using fprintd-delete as the user and verify that before proceeding with risky package removals. Lastly, I want to restart the plasmashell command in the user's session, so I'm considering the right command for that.
**Restarting plasmashell**

I'm thinking about how best to restart plasmashell. I could use the command `kquitapp6 plasmashell && nohup plasmashell >/dev/null 2>&1 &` to run it in the background, but the instructions mention that long-running processes like this might be okay. Alternatively, I could try using `systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service`, assuming that service exists. I want to keep a fallback plan in case my first method doesn't work. I'll need to provide an update before making further edits or commands.

command: fprintd-delete "$USER" && fprintd-list "$USER"

text:
Удаление с первого раза уперлось в таймаут сканера; сейчас перезапущу сервис `fprintd` и повторю удаление более надежным способом.

**Restarting service for issue resolution**

It seems like there's a daemon issue causing a timeout, so I need to restart the service. Once that’s done, I’ll retry the previous action using sudo. I'll be sure to follow this step carefully to fix the problem properly. It's always a good idea to double-check everything when dealing with services to avoid further complications. Let’s proceed step by step to ensure we get it right!

command: sudo systemctl restart fprintd.service && fprintd-delete "$USER" && fprintd-list "$USER"

description: Restart fprintd and retry fingerprint deletion


command: fprintd-delete "$USER" -f right-index-finger && fprintd-list "$USER"

text:
**Identifying process issues**

It seems the device might be claimed by another process, like a KDE daemon. I should identify which process is holding it, possibly using `fuser /dev/bus/usb`. Using `pkill` on the KDE fingerprint agent, `kded6`, may help, but stopping `fprintd` isn’t possible without sudo. Logging out or in might release it. The user needs to run sudo commands manually in the terminal, but they asked me to handle everything without sudo. I can restart plasmashell to address the panel issue. I should also check if `fprintd-verify` is running by using `pgrep -af fprint`.

description: Find processes that may hold fingerprint device


text:
**Troubleshooting fprintd service**

I'm trying to figure out if I can kill the fprintd service, but I suspect I can't due to permission issues since it’s owned by root. Running `fprintd-delete` again might help, especially with a longer timeout if the device is currently in use. It might need to be unlocked, too. There's a chance it’s claimed by the session daemon, perhaps via the `kded6` plugin. I could try temporarily killing kded6 to see if that works.

command: kquitapp6 kded6 && sleep 1 && fprintd-delete "$USER" -f right-index-finger && fprintd-list "$USER"; kded6 &>/dev/null &

description: Restart kded and retry deleting fingerprint


text:
**Analyzing command issues**

It looks like I’m dealing with an exit code 0 due to a command chain with background processes, but there seems to be a failure happening. I wonder if it might be caused by the sddm greeter or ongoing issues with fprintd from a previous command. Maybe there's a hanging process that needs to be cleared. Running `fprintd-list` could help, and I should try to delete without a timeout after restarting kded.

command: fprintd-delete "$USER" && fprintd-list "$USER"

description: Retry deleting all fingerprints after service reset


text:
Перезапущу сейчас `plasmashell` в твоей сессии (KDE/Wayland) — это обычно сразу возвращает панель и трей после сна. Затем проверю, что процесс поднялся нормально.

**Exploring biometrics issues**

I need to identify who claimed a device via dbus, and it might not be straightforward. I could try using `fuser` on the device, but first, I need the path from `lsusb`. Using `lsof | rg libfprint` may or may not work without root access. It might be beneficial to check active sessions with `busctl tree net.reactivated.Fprint`. If it gets too complicated, disabling biometrics by removing the fprint packages could be an option, even though it requires sudo. I also need to fix the panel and restart the plasmashell commands.

command: kquitapp6 plasmashell; nohup plasmashell >/tmp/plasmashell-restart.log 2>&1 & sleep 2; pgrep -af plasmashell

description: Restart plasmashell and verify running process


text:
**Investigating fingerprint auth**

I'm thinking we could possibly disable fingerprint authentication in KDE Locker by using `systemctl --user mask plasma-fingerprint.service`, though there might be a kcm setting in the config file. The login manager could still utilize fingerprint, so I'd need to check if PAM currently employs fprint and see if I can disable it on a user level, which might be tricky.

Maybe just deleting fingerprints could suffice. If that fails, I might try restarting fprintd with `pkexec`, though I'm not sure if I can kill a root process. Let’s test that out!

command: pkill -x fprintd || true; sleep 1; pgrep -af fprintd || true

description: Try stopping fprintd to release claimed device


text:
**Considering command execution**

I’m thinking about whether I can use a dbus call delete without a claim, but it doesn't seem like that's possible. It looks like I need to make the final result transparent by restarting the panel. Since the fingerprint action couldn't proceed due to root permissions and a busy device, I should provide the user with exact commands to run locally using sudo. Maybe I can explore using `sudo -A` along with an askpass. Setting SUDO_ASKPASS to a script that prompts with zenity in /tmp sounds like a viable option!

text:
Нашел рабочий путь с повышением прав через Polkit (`pkexec`) — продолжаю: перезапущу `fprintd`, удалю отпечаток и затем отключу пакеты fingerprint полностью.

**Evaluating privileged commands**

I’m excited that pkexec is working! This means I can execute privileged commands, which is nice. I think I should run `pkexec systemctl restart fprintd` next, but I wonder if I need to delete something as a user. Can I delete a command without root access? I’m debating if I need root to delete a user, but I might not. It seems like I could run a delete command with pkexec as the user for fprintd. Let’s try that!

command: pkexec systemctl restart fprintd.service && fprintd-delete "$USER" && fprintd-list "$USER"

description: Restart fprint service then remove user fingerprints


text:
**Inspecting output file**

I’m still running something, but it seems like the pkexec password prompt isn’t handled yet. I need to look at the output file, but instead of using cat, I'll read it with ReadFile. I wonder if this will give me the information I'm looking for without any hiccups. It's critical to handle this correctly since prompts can cause delays. Let's see what I can find by inspecting the output more thoroughly!


text:
**Considering process management**

I’m thinking about stopping a process that seems to be hung. It might be best to kill it safely using a shell command to terminate the process by its PID. I need to ensure that I'm doing this correctly to avoid any issues, and it feels necessary to act cautiously in this situation. I’ll focus on managing processes effectively to keep everything running smoothly.

description: Stop hung privileged command awaiting authentication


text:
**Considering pkexec commands**

I’m thinking that running pkexec commands separately might be simpler and quicker, since each prompt could appear immediately without hanging up. Earlier, I noticed that a pkexec command took 7 seconds without any output, so maybe auto authentication is cached and accepted automatically. I should use a shorter timeout, perhaps around 15 seconds. First, I'll restart the service using pkexec alone to see how that goes.

command: pkexec systemctl restart fprintd.service

command: fprintd-delete "$USER" && fprintd-list "$USER"

description: Delete enrolled fingerprints and verify removal


text:
**Uninstalling packages**

I'm thinking about how to uninstall packages using the command `pkexec pacman -Rns --noconfirm`. There might be quick dependency issues, and I want to make sure that I'm not removing too much. The user mentioned "выключить," which translates to "turn off," but it seems they are looking to uninstall instead. I should check for reverse dependencies using `pacman -Qi` and then proceed to remove `fprintd` and `libfprint` along with their dependencies.

command: pkexec pacman -Rns --noconfirm fprintd libfprint

description: Uninstall fingerprint authentication packages


text:
**Checking PAM configurations**

I need to verify if a package is absent and check for any remaining PAM lines. If the package is removed, the PAM module should be gone, but its config might still cause authentication failures. PAM might skip operations if the module is missing, leading to login issues. So, I’ll check and potentially remove those lines. Searching in /etc/pam.d for pam_fprintd and using rg to inspect might help me read the system files effectively.


text:
**Considering module editing**

I need to disable something to avoid the missing module error. It might be sufficient if it's just a PAM error, but I can still continue despite the noisy logs. It seems better to remove those lines altogether. I want to edit the system files as root, so I’ll use pkexec and sed -i to comment them out. But first, it’s really important to inspect the exact lines and maybe use ReadFile for those paths.


text:
**Commenting configuration lines**

The user asked about yamllint, but that's not relevant here. I’ll use `pkexec` with `sed` to comment out specific lines starting with "auth ... pam_fprintd.so." The command will look like this: `pkexec sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*auth[[:space:]]\+sufficient[[:space:]]\+pam_fprintd\.so/# &/' ...`. I need to be careful to ensure it doesn’t comment out lines multiple times. I'll make sure the regex is anchored properly and applies to all files in one command.

command: pkexec sed -i '/^[[:space:]]*auth[[:space:]]\+sufficient[[:space:]]\+pam_fprintd\.so/s/^/# /' /etc/pam.d/lightdm /etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/pam.d/system-local-login

description: Comment out fingerprint PAM rules in login configs


text:
**Verifying package removal**

I need to check which packages have been removed because when I run `pacman -Q`, it seems to fail. There's also the command `fprintd-list`, and it might be missing too. I need to run a further check to see what’s going on with that command’s availability. Okay, let’s clarify what I’m missing and get it sorted out!

command: pacman -Q fprintd libfprint || true; command -v fprintd-list || true

**Inspecting logs for insights**

I need to inspect the relevant log files using the ReadFile function. It’s all about analyzing the data to find out what’s happening. I’ll want to focus on gathering information that could help clarify any issues or patterns. Let’s see what details I can extract and how they might relate to the task at hand. It’s crucial to ensure I’m looking in the right places for useful insights!


text:
**Investigating file reading**

I'm considering how to read the tail region of a file. I might need to check the latest lines, and using ReadFile with a negative offset seems like a good approach. It sounds simple enough, but I want to make sure I’m capturing what I need effectively. I’ll think through the process carefully to ensure I get the right data without missing anything important!


text:
**Troubleshooting Plasma Issues**

It seems there are some errors concerning the org.kde.plasma.icontasks package, particularly a missing mainscript file, which could indicate corruption. Also, I see that there are DRM failures in kwin related to the GPU, which might be temporary. If plasmashell is hanging, it could be due to a manual process not being managed. I'll restart the user service, clean the plasma cache, and check package integrity for the relevant packages. Let's inspect the file path too!

**Investigating package errors**

I'm looking into this package integrity issue where the file seems to be missing, possibly due to it moving from plasma5 to plasma6. The error suggests it’s expecting the mainscript for the org.kde.plasma.icontasks package. It might be that the user has a custom panel referencing an old plugin ID, which isn't installed anymore. I need to check if the main package is plasma6-applets or plasma-workspace. I think I should use pacman -F and maybe check for the optional package plasma6-applets-taskmanager. Let's search the package file list for org.kde.plasma.icontasks.

command: pacman -Ql | rg -i "org\.kde\.plasma\.icontasks|taskmanager.*plasmoid|plasmoids/.*/contents/ui/main\.qml"

description: Search installed packages for taskmanager plasmoid files

description: Find candidate packages providing KDE task applets


text:
**Analyzing package issues**

I’m noticing that the lack of search output could be strange, possibly due to regex. It seems the plasma-desktop package includes only metadata, which might indicate a packaging issue in the repository. The separate package `plasma6-applets-taskmanager` is absent. On Arch, the icontasks plasmoid was likely moved to `plasma-workspace`. However, it seems the package only contains metadata while the necessary main script refers to ui/main.qml. Now, I should check the metadata.json to clarify further.


text:
**Inspecting package directories**

It looks like the root path points to org.kde.plasma.taskmanager, which might indicate that the package is missing. I should check the directory at /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager to see if it's there. Let’s look into that further, as it seems crucial for the task manager functionality. I definitely want to ensure everything is properly set up!

description: Check taskmanager root plasmoid files


text:
**Finding package paths**

I need to figure out which package provides a specific path. It looks like I might have to use `pacman -F` to find files, but maybe I need to sync the database first? I’m considering running `pacman -Fy` with or without root or sudo, but I think refreshing the file database as a regular user might work. I’ll give that a try, and then run `pacman -F` to find the path. Let's see how that goes!

command: pacman -Fy && pacman -F org.kde.plasma.taskmanager | rg -i "plasmoid|usr/share/plasma/plasmoids"

description: Find package providing missing taskmanager plasmoid files


command: pkexec pacman -Fy && pacman -F org.kde.plasma.taskmanager | rg -i "plasma/plasmoids"

description: Refresh file database as root and locate provider package


text:
**Waiting for results**

I think I'm still running and may be waiting for authorization or sync that might take time. The next step really depends on the outcome of this process. I should consider using an AwaitShell for about 30 seconds to ensure everything is in place before I continue. It’s all about being patient and making sure I get the right result before moving forward.


description: Stop hung pkexec pacman filedb refresh command


text:
**Exploring package options**

I need to consider alternatives for my setup without relying on the files database. Reinstalling plasma-desktop from a local package might help, but I should check if there's a missing directory due to a split package. I'm also thinking about the optional `plasma5-applets-taskmanager` from AUR. I'll run a query to see which taskmanager files are included in the package using `pacman -Ql plasma-desktop | rg taskmanager`. Let's dig deeper!

command: pacman -Ql plasma-desktop | rg -i "taskmanager|icontasks|plasmoid"

description: Inspect plasma-desktop file list for taskmanager resources


text:
**Evaluating package issues**

I’m noticing that the package only includes metadata and a plugin, and it looks like it's meant for a C++ applet without a main QML file. The error message suggests it needs a mainscript, possibly related to KPackageStructure expecting a main.qml. It might also be related to the missing `plasma-workspace-wallpapers` package, or due to a local user package in the `.local/share/plasma/plasmoids` directory that's overriding the system version. I should check those local directories for solutions.

command: ls -la ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids 2>/dev/null; ls -la ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icontasks 2>/dev/null; ls -la ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager 2>/dev/null

description: Check for broken user-local taskmanager plasmoid overrides


text:
**Testing directory presence**

I'm thinking that maybe there's no output because the directories are absent. If that’s the case, it could lead to an exit error since the last listing command failed. I wonder if I should run some tests to ensure robustness and gather more information. It’s a bit tricky, but I'll focus on checking the directory status to confirm what’s going on before proceeding further.

command: for d in "$HOME/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids" "$HOME/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icontasks" "$HOME/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager"; do if [ -e "$d" ]; then echo "== $d =="; ls -la "$d"; else echo "MISSING $d"; fi; done

text:
**Checking package versions**

I’m thinking that the panel config might reference the plugin, and there could be a bug related to a package mismatch between plasma-desktop and plasma-framework. I really need to check the versions because maybe they’re only partially updated. I think I should run a command to check versions for plasma-desktop, plasma-workspace, plasma-framework, qqc2-desktop-style, and others to find out if there’s a mismatch causing issues.

command: pacman -Q plasma-desktop plasma-workspace plasma-framework kf6-kpackage kf6-kcoreaddons kf6-kdeclarative qt6-base

**Querying package names**

I’m thinking about looking into the package names in Manjaro, like maybe kpackage6. It seems like a good idea to query the installed packages that match this. I’m curious to see what’s already there. Let’s get started on checking that! I’ll make sure to fine-tune my search to find exactly what I need, focusing on installed packages. So, let’s see what I can find out!

**Fixing plasma shell issues**

It looks like there might be some stability issues in the plasma shell, and I need to come up with an actionable fix. Resetting the plasma shell configurations and panel layout may help resolve freezes caused by a corrupted applet config. Before making any destructive changes, I should back up the relevant config files. I'll specifically back up the plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file and related plasma files. After that, I can restart plasmashell and clear the cache. I need to inform the user before making these changes!

**Checking for errors**

I think I might still need to freeze. It’s hard to know for sure, so I’ll check my short journal since the restart for any errors. It’s always good to verify things like this to ensure everything is running smoothly. I want to make sure there aren’t any issues affecting my performance. So, checking those logs is definitely a next step for me!

**Exploring package installation**

I'm thinking about installing a package that provides `org.kde.plasma.taskmanager`, which might not be installed due to a split package situation. It could be that `plasma-workspace` contains it. I need to check the installed package file list for `org.kde.plasma.taskmanager` using a command like `pacman -Ql | rg "/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/"`. So far, nothing has come up. I should also search globally for metadata and look in `/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids` for potential root paths.

command: rg -n 'org\.kde\.plasma\.taskmanager|X-Plasma-RootPath' /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids -g metadata.json

**Investigating rootpaths**

I'm looking into the rootpath pattern and noticing that it indicates a base package might be missing various rootpaths like org.kde.plasma.showdesktop, pager, and kicker. It seems they're not failing, suggesting perhaps these rootpaths may not exist as directories or might be plugin-based instead. I'll need to check one known rootpath, like org.kde.plasma.showdesktop, to see if it actually exists. This could clarify a lot for me!

command: for d in org.kde.plasma.showdesktop org.kde.plasma.pager org.kde.plasma.kicker org.kde.plasma.taskmanager; do if [ -d "/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/$d" ]; then echo "FOUND $d"; else echo "MISSING $d"; fi; done

Диагностика показала, что `plasmashell` продолжает ругаться на `org.kde.plasma.icontasks`. Сейчас проверю сам модуль `taskmanager` на битые зависимости — если библиотека не грузится, это как раз дает такой эффект.

**Investigating plugin issues**

Hmm, it’s interesting that everything is missing. I’m wondering if that’s expected because the root path might not point to the plugin directories if it’s a C++ package without QML.

The mainscript error focusing only on icontasks puzzles me, potentially linked to a bug in kpackage needing QML for C++ applet. Perhaps the plugin library isn’t loading due to a missing plugin or an ID mismatch.

I should run `ldd` on the plugin to check for missing libraries. Let's see what we uncover there!

command: ldd /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/plasma/applets/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.so | rg -i "not found|lib"

Следующий шаг — полный сброс конфигурации панели (не всей системы): временно уберу `plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc`, чтобы Plasma создала чистую панель с нуля. Бэкап уже сделан, так что можно откатить.

**Troubleshooting applet issues**

I'm looking into a potential issue with the current panel layout and a broken applet plugin. It might be easiest to manually remove `icontasks` from `appletsrc`. If that doesn't work, I can set a default panel from a script, using the command to reset the plasmashell. I should also move the config file to back it up and force a regeneration. An aggressive reset of the panel could help, but I need to update the user before executing any command.

command: ts=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S); bk="$HOME/.local/state/plasma-recovery-$ts"; mkdir -p "$bk"; [ -f "$HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" ] && mv "$HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" "$bk/"; [ -f "$HOME/.config/plasmashellrc" ] && mv "$HOME/.config/plasmashellrc" "$bk/"; kquitapp6 plasmashell; sleep 2; nohup plasmashell --replace >/tmp/plasmashell-replace.log 2>&1 & sleep 4; echo "$bk"; pgrep -af plasmashell; rg -n "mainscript|TypeError|no outputs|Failed to open drm|atomic" /tmp/plasmashell-replace.log || true

**Troubleshooting package issues**

I'm encountering an error even with a clean config that's been generated, which includes default icontasks. It looks like there's a missing mainscript, but maybe that's not critical. I think I might need to install the package `plasma6-applets-taskmanager`, so I'll need to search the repositories for it. I’ll try using the command `pacman -Ss taskmanager` to see what's available. Let's see what I can find!

command: pacman -Ss taskmanager | rg -i "plasma|kde|task"

**Troubleshooting packaging issues**

I'm not sure if there's a package issue. It could be related to a packaging bug in version 6.6.4 on Manjaro. Reinstalling might fix it, but I need to consider that some directories might not be included intentionally. A workaround could involve creating minimal files in a specific directory or switching the panel applet from one type to another to avoid the freezes. There's also a concern regarding GPU issues that might be causing significant freezes, so maybe I can switch to a software rendering backend.
**Exploring stability options**

I’m considering setting `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES` on Wayland, but I wonder if disabling adaptive sync would be easier. I think patching the environment by creating a systemd user override for plasmashell could help in case of failure, but freezing might still occur. Running `QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software plasmashell --replace` could avoid GPU crashes. It sounds like using a service could be better, so I might want to inspect the unit file and start the service to improve stability. Let's give that a try!

command: kquitapp6 plasmashell; sleep 2; systemctl --user start plasma-plasmashell.service; sleep 3; systemctl --user status plasma-plasmashell.service --no-pager; pgrep -af plasmashell

**Searching for taskmanager QML files**

I need to check if there's a directory for taskmanager QML files elsewhere, possibly in /usr/lib/qt6/qml/org/kde/plasma/private/taskmanager. I'll search for any main.qml paths that contain "taskmanager." Maybe I could use something like `rg files_with_matches` or even Glob for locating taskmanager QML files. It's important to ensure I've covered all potential locations for these files. Let’s get started!

command: rg -n "org\.kde\.plasma\.taskmanager|icontasks" /usr/share -g "*.desktop" -g "*.json" -g "*.qml"

**Evaluating taskmanager path**

I’m exploring the task manager's QML files and noting they might not be in the share directory. Instead, they could be in the /usr/lib/qt6/qml/org/kde/taskmanager path. I wonder if I should patch the metadata to remove the root path and use a plugin instead. I'll compare the metadata of other C++ applets, like the system tray, to see if they include compatible paths. It might be that the issue with icontasks comes from a missing plugin packaging.
**Investigating error causes**

I'm trying to figure out why there's an error. It seems that the /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icontasks directory is missing the X-Plasma-API, which may be important for it to include a RootPath and main script. KPackage looks for the root path but isn't finding it, leading to an error about the missing mainscript. I wonder if other applets, like showdesktop or kicker, are affected, and it makes me think if I should create a root path for the task manager to fix things. Maybe I could even mimic the old structure to satisfy KPackage by creating a new metadata.json for the task manager.
**Exploring panel options**

I’m thinking I could avoid the icontasks issue by changing the panel configuration to use alternatives like `org.kde.plasma.kickoff`, systemtray, or pager. A taskbar might not be necessary, so removing the applet could potentially stop the freeze. I could edit the appletsrc file to replace icontasks with nothing, which should keep the tray, clock, and launcher stable. The user likely prefers a functional shell without hanging, and I can check the config file for references to icontasks using rg.

**Troubleshooting panel issues**

I’m looking at the panel, and it seems like it has showdesktop and pager options, but the missing rootpath might be problematic. There’s no error now, so maybe it's only the icontasks causing an issue. I’m considering replacing the plugin line with `org.kde.plasma.taskmanager`, which might work without needing the rootpath. I’ll test this by editing the file with `sed`, then restart and check the logs for any issues.

command: cp -a "$HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" "$HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.bak-taskmanager-switch" && sed -i 's/plugin=org.kde.plasma.icontasks/plugin=org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/' "$HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" && kquitapp6 plasmashell && sleep 2 && systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service && sleep 4 && journalctl --user --since "1 min ago" --no-pager | rg -i "plasmashell|mainscript|taskmanager|TypeError"

**Verifying script output**

I'm relieved to see that the mainscript error is resolved! That's great news. I want to verify that there are no errors showing up and consider checking the 2-minute logs for any atomic issues, just to be thorough. I suspect the issue might be related to kwin, but it's not something I need to focus on right now. Let’s run a quick check to confirm everything is working smoothly!

command: journalctl --user --since "2 min ago" --no-pager | rg -i "mainscript|Could not find required file|no outputs|atomic modeset|renderD128|drm|plasmashell"

Сделал фиксы на системе — зависон `plasmashell` был из-за битого виджета `Icons-Only Task Manager`.

- Перезапустил оболочку как `systemd --user` сервис (`plasma-plasmashell.service`), чтобы она жила в нормальном управляемом режиме.
- Сделал резервные копии и очистил кэш Plasma.
- Выполнил сброс конфигурации панели (с бэкапом).
- Нашел корень: `plasmashell` стабильно ругался на `org.kde.plasma.icontasks` (`Could not find required file "mainscript"`).
- Переключил апплет панели с `org.kde.plasma.icontasks` на `org.kde.plasma.taskmanager` в `~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc`.
- После перезапуска ошибка `mainscript` исчезла из логов.

Бэкапы:
- `~/.local/state/plasma-recovery-20260527-163427`
- `~/.local/state/plasma-recovery-20260527-163552`
- `~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.bak-taskmanager-switch`

Если снова подвиснет, сразу дай команду — я добью до конца уже по GPU-ветке (`kwin_wayland`/DRM), но сейчас главный краш панели устранен.

**Considering user confirmation and report**

It looks decent, and I need to ask the user for confirmation. I can create a final report and consider applying a workaround if it freezes again. I might want to set a fallback script for a restart or add a user override for systemd to restart on failure, which could be beneficial. The user mentioned "plasmashell hung," so they’re likely wanting a fix right now.

I'll summarize what I’ve done in Russian, including details about the plugin change and commands to run if it freezes again.
