I think I broke my dbus or some kind of daemon.

For some reason my bluetooth applet, nm applet and pamac tray icon wont load. xfce panel icons are working fine like trash powermanager and I am using xfce4. The services are running in the background but the tray icons are missing. I went on a streak to remove perl orphan files. I dont know if this has something to do with it. I am ready to provide any kind of information.

Re: I think I broke my dbus or some kind of daemon.

If there is a fault connected to the Xfce panel that prevents the applets from loading, then I suspect you should see something in ~/.xsession-errors?

Also, there is a procedure to start the panel from a terminal explained at https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/debugging - this will most likely give you a truckload of info, so maybe pipe the output to a file you can read (and share) later.

Now, if you can't see any obvious reason why the applets fail to load, I guess its worth trying to reinstall them.
Most likely, your Bluetooth applet is in blueman and nm applet is in network-manager-applet. Pamac is in AUR, as you'd know (unless you're running Manjaro, in which case there's a lot of helpful people over at their forum too ).

If that doesn't help either I would recommend sharing ~/.xsession-errors and the panel debugging output.
Check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients for a good way to do that.
