Panels keep being intermittently reset

[347Online]

~/.local/share/plasma-manager/run_all.sh is not reliably re-applying my panel configurations. For some reason Plasma keeps resetting them 🫠

I do seem to be able to get them to reapply by manually running this line from 2_desktop_script_panels.sh:

 qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "$(cat /home/katie/.local/share/plasma-manager/data/desktop_script_panels.js)"

I'm guessing the diff check at the beginning of the panels script is only expecting to need to run when there's configuration changes?

What is the output of run_all.sh?

Sure thing:

#!/bin/sh

services_restart_file="/home/katie/.local/share/plasma-manager/services_to_restart"

# Reset the file keeping track of which scripts to restart.
# Technically can be put at the end as well (maybe better, at
# least assuming the file hasn't been tampered with of some sort).
if [ -f $services_restart_file ]; then rm $services_restart_file; fi

for script in /home/katie/.local/share/plasma-manager/scripts/*.sh; do
  [ -x "$script" ] && $script
done

# Restart the services
if [ -f $services_restart_file ]; then
  for service in $(sort $services_restart_file | uniq); do
    systemctl --user restart $service
  done
fi

Well, the script looks fine, maybe journalctl -b | grep run_all.sh can tell us something?

Here's that:

It also looks fine, the only error is that last_run scripts is deleted by overrideConfig before the scripts, I haven't fixed that yet, but I will in the rewrite I am doing in #465. But it shouldn't affect the other commands/scripts. Really don't know why it could be resetting

[347Online]

Alright sounds good, thanks for the info. Have you published code for the rust rewrite yet? I was looking at the PR but I was only seeing changes in flake.nix

[HeitorAugustoLN]

Not yet, I am working on it, I am making a plasma-manager command-line interface that will be an alternative for kwriteconfig6 and kreadconfig6, that should be more powerful and the backend for plasma-manager modules. Similar to cosmic-ctl, that is another software I made, that is also the backend for my COSMIC desktop home-manager modules

I also have the same problem. Panels reset after (de|a)ttaching external monitors. I also end up creating the same alias 🙃

alias unfuck_plasma = qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript $"(cat /home/bemyak/.local/share/plasma-manager/data/desktop_script_panels.js)"
