  Failed units:

For the past few days I have been having a lot of issues of randomly being unable to launch applications. Everything from Dolphin to Calculator will give the error like:

Launching KCalc (Failed)
Unit app-
org.kde.kcalc@bbbfb51167e14b5e8
944679b96cJb69d.service not found.

I’ve made sure everything is up to date but the problem persists. It seems to happen at random once Firefox has been open for a while. Firefox seems to have gotten stuck at one save state of tabs and is not remembering anything new being opened or any tabs being. I’m also being randomly logged out of all accounts.

FireDragon also seems to have issues and cannot display or play YouTube and getting weird errors rendering other websites as well.

Would resinstalling all packages be a smart move or does this have the potential to mess things up further?


Launching KCalc (Failed)

BTW, no problems here with Firedragon or Dolphin, Create new user and check, maybe restore a snapshot from working DE.

Take a look at this solved topic:

Thank you nepti! I think this solved the main problem.
It seems like the issue with FireDragon is completely separate, so I’ll try troubleshooting that later.
