Latte dock and top bar hidden when I boot

Issues & Assistance Newbies
1

When I boot my PC my latte dock is hidden, and also my top menu bar, it seems like almost all process where not initialized for some reason. This is the third time that this bug happens to me in 2 weeks

I tried the solution on this post Can't start Latte dock anymore
cp -rf /etc/skel/. ~/

But now I cant change the configuration of Konsole or any other program, the konsole keeps using fish even when I changed the configuration to use zsh. I want to go back to my personal config before this bug happened, but I cant.

Hi there, welcome.
With this

you override all your local configurations (in ~/) with the default one (in /etc/skel/).
Next time, use only latte folder in the copy, or, even better, use the Garuda Assistant, with the button to reset default configs, flagging only latte (or whatever else).

Hi. Welcome to you too.
I have to kindly ask you to not "hijack" the topic.
This one is focused on how to reset the latte config v/s all the other configurations.
The "why it happened" is a different and much more complex aspect.
If you have a suspect on a specific sequence of actions that lead to latte crash (it could be e.g. for some "strange/specific" widgets) please open a new dedicated topic for this, detailing those steps as best as possible.

Hello, thank you for the help.

My garuda assistant doesnt have an option to reset the Konsole. What file do I need to edit in order to be abe to use ZSH on Konsole again? Or even better, how do I persist the changes of my configuration?

Basically, I wish to be able to do my own customization again like I was able before

To set your default shell to zsh see e.g. here.
To configure Konsole, open it -> Settings -> Configure Konsole -> Profile -> Edit your profile -> Enter in Command /usr/bin/zsh -> ok

No one will override your customization if you avoid the cp command used above.

I did those configurations, but when I open the konsole it still looks like fish. Unfortunately I cant send the image here, so I uploaded an image on IPFS: https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmePmNjSJhK6mEo2ZHMgMJnXjMNmzxNtcLfVm6CKPaYPEZ?preview=1

Quite frankly I don't get it.
Fish is a shell, konsole is a terminal.
You see in the right side (the neofetch output) that your shell is zsh and terminal is console.
It's done...
And we are moving far away from the initial issue: latte config reset...

I'm new to Linux, that is why I had this post on the newbie topic. Thanks for the help.

No problem.
Let me give you a suggestion as a person who came back to linux not that long ago, after many years "away": everything we discussed here is fully addressed in the forum: latte reset, from fish to zsh, konsole config, neofetch config.
Start using the search functionality and especially the filters.
When you'll see how much it can help solve your problems or even just learning something new, it will become indispensable.
And when you don't find something or want to go deeper, go to the Arch wiki.
