[Solved] KDE system settings stopped working

After one of updates, kde systemsettings5 stopped from working.
At first it was because it couldn't find library named 'libkhtml' or similar. I fount it in 'khtml' package.
After installing khtml in first run of systemsettings5 i'm got this error:

user@arch ~ % systemsettings5     
file:///usr/share/kpackage/genericqml/org.kde.systemsettings.sidebar/contents/ui/main.qml:45:5: Type CategoriesPage unavailable 
         CategoriesPage {

                     menu: ActionMenu { 
                           ^

"file:///usr/share/kpackage/genericqml/org.kde.systemsettings.sidebar/contents/ui/ActionMenu.qml:  is not a type"
Fatal error while loading the sidebar view qml component
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2

KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/drkonqi from kdeinit
sock_file=/run/user/1000/kdeinit5__0
[2]  + 2492 suspended (signal)  systemsettings5

Then in reinstalled 'systemsettings' package using pacman -S systemsettings
and then got this error:

user@arch ~ % systemsettings5              
kf5.kservice.sycoca: Parse error in  "/home/user/.config/menus/applications-merged/xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu" , line  1 , col  1 :  "unexpected end of file"

But now i'm just getting this error:

user@arch ~ % systemsettings5
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = systemsettings5 path = /usr/bin pid = 2737
KCrash: Arguments: /usr/bin/systemsettings5

Re: [Solved] KDE system settings stopped working

Did you try a reboot/re-connection to plasma after the updates ?

Re: [Solved] KDE system settings stopped working

systemsettings5 crashes for lots of reason. If you get  a crash with

kcmshell5 kcm_icons   #  the QML-based KCMs crash but some do still work, such as systemD

then look at  hidden bug report 

caused by  a broken unmatched package from  community repo . They blame it on the users, like when they put openRC packages up for download which immediately wrecked all systemD installations for good.
