Can't reset KDE, only works for new user

I randomly had a lockup when doing nothing out of the ordinary. Everything froze on screen, but I was able to keep talking in the Discord server I was in. I rebooted from another TTY after a short wait, and upon login everything froze immediately.

Things are still ‘working’ even when frozen though. I got a Telegram notification frozen of a mention once, and my keyboard RGB notifications are actively working, as well as an xbindkeys hotkey was able to trigger yakuake to start, though I couldn’t see it outside of monitoring processes in another TTY. I also had Docker successfully started and running in the background.

Using a test user is fine, and nothing freezes at all. I once had a similar issue, and the solution was using Garuda Assistant and the all checkbox to reset all configs.

What I’ve done so far:

  • checked journalctl -xe and nothing stood out
  • checked dmesg nothing seems out of place
  • checked for failed services
  • tried LTS kernel
  • tried arch kernel
  • tried lts kernel
  • tried snapshots
  • checked cpu/memory load
  • checked disk health with smartctl (fine)
  • checked last scrub status in Btrfs Assistant, it found no errors.
  • reset Latte with Garuda Assistant
  • reset all with Garuda Assistant
  • same as last 2, but with su mainuser

So far my conclusion is that it’s an issue with settings for my primary user, so how can I reset them from another user?

1 day, 16 hours, 6 minutes so far on the test account with no issues.

Does your test user have access to the same hardware as your normal user, such as disks? Same driver configuration?

This might be an odd idea, but you could try copying over your home directory from the broken user to the test user one directory (or few directories, and bisect) at a time and see if you can identify one that reproduces the problem.

Identical everything except config files. I don't really have enough space to copy things around. A mere <32gb free right now and all but one disk (which is a Chaotic mirror) is dead (not due to this issue, USPS killed them).

:point_up: That could be a clue.

Are your dot files on the main user more than 32 GB? That seems…like a lot!

It might be annoying, but you could copy over a few dot file directories at a time, and delete them if they don’t reproduce the issue. I guess I am assuming you are not going to keep the test user.

yeaaaahhhhhh…

sudo du -hc /home/tech/.config | grep total
27G     total

I really don’t want to keep it, but I might for a while just to be sure this doesn’t happen again. My intent is to reinstall at some point, but I don’t have the storage available to do so. Due to it being a lot of small files, copying it will realistically end up taking up a large amount of free space. Also it’s 24,515 files in .config alone, that’ll take a VERY VERY long time and a LOT of rebooting to test.

I’d be perfectly fine resetting most settings, but I’m not sure how to do it outside of su mainuser and launching garuda-assistant (which doesn’t seem to work within su).

WOW THE UPDATE HELPED! I logged in, latte was all messed up and unresponsive, but I started Garuda Assistant from top bar, checked latte and all and restarted again. I’m not going to call this a solution, because it’s purely happenstance that I was able to launch far enough to get into Garuda Assistant here.

Whoever finds the method of running Garuda Assistant as another user will be marked the solution, because that is the correct answer. Clearly it’s not possible at all via su, or else I’m missing something critical about it…

Please, for such cases use use PrivateBin in the upper right corner of the forum page. :slight_smile:
If necessary, set the expiration date to never.

What Garuda Assistant does is basically to copy the flagged items from /etc/skel/ to your relevant home directories.
So, for Latte this should be:

cp -rf /etc/skel/.config/latte /etc/skel/.config/lattedockrc ~/.config/.

In the same way, for all this could be something like:

cp -rf /etc/skel/. ~/

In my opinion, you could try logging in to a TTY with the user affected by the problem and execute those commends.
You could also try using the new user and reworking the commands with something like:

cp -rf /etc/skel/.config/latte /etc/skel/.config/lattedockrc /home/<other_user>/.config/.

(but you need to be careful to the permissions)
