Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.6
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: o...@geek.co.il
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When trying to launch systemsettings, through the menu, or from the command
line, it does not actually start - no window appears. Other ways to launch the
system settings app also fail - such as running "About this system" from the
main menu, pressing the "settings" icon in the audio mixer panel widget, trying
to start a specific KCM through the main menu, etc.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the terminal type `systemsettings5` and ENTER
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens - no window, no output, the prompt reappears almost immediately
EXPECTED RESULT
The system settings application window should appear.

Calling KCMs directly with kcmshell5 seems to work fine - the only KCM that
won't for me is `kcm_hotkeys`, kcmshell5 shows the following errors for it:

Even though kcm_hotkeys does appear in the output of kcmshell5 --list.
