Latte-dock breaking everything

Issues & Assistance Latte Dock
1

Hello.

Latte-dock is always crashing and never works since updating about last week.

I've tried downgrading/switching back and forth between latte-dock-git and latte-dock

Nothing seems to work except using timeshift to go back to a working state (which I don't like to do because it messes up my containerization with docker and minikube)

when I run latte-dock --replace -d I get one output that's concerning

[Critical : 23:06:35.161161] - "Couldn't find QML Decoration \"\""

Also lots of these issues

[Warning : 23:09:07.605605] - "QXcbConnection: XCB error: 9 (BadDrawable), sequence: 12546, resource id: 77594999, major code: 72 (PutImage), minor code: 0"

clicking the digital clock causes the system to freeze and I've tried everything....

My suspicion is that there's some compatibility issue with other software because nothing I've done fixes anything...

Please help. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

I also lost the old garuda layout with the eagle icon as the window launcher. I miss it. I loved that one, but I deleted the layout trying to fix this issue.

Any idea how to get it back?

I tried also removing "Problematic applets" from another post (the time applet from above) and when I go to edit dock, it looks like this:

Processing: broken latte.png...

Have you already tried with delay autostart and the configuration hints like here. (but there are several topics mentioning this)?

To recover the initial latte layout you can use the Garuda assistant, flag latte and push button to reset to default settings

Run latte with default layout, you probably have an applet that is out of date.

latte-dock -d --default-layout

I tried that. That did not fix my issue.

If you get crashes with Latte default layout then your issue is probably something else and not Latte. I can give you a hint only if I see the crash report.

Could it just be a kde issue in general? One of the applications that's on the default dock that's broken or causes issues is the analog clock.

I think you're right about it not being a latte issue. It's just that latte was where it was most apparent, but even when I have latte completely disabled, I'm running it to slow system issues.... not sure why or even where to check.

Where might I find this crash report you're talking about?

Hi. Since the lattest updates, I was experiencing similar problems in my quite new LG Gram laptop and it seems that I have found a solution (finally), by changing the linux kernel to the LTS version (Long Term Support).

If you want to try, go to Garuda Settings Manager > Kernel, scroll to linux-lts and click Install. Once installed, reboot and in the starting menu (grub menu) choose Garuda Advanced Options and there choose the LTS Kernel. I do not know how to make that change permanent, as I am just a lowly newbie, so if it works for you as it does for me, by the moment you will have to choose the LTS kernel each time you boot. Cheers.

I'm going to try, but I think my libinput stuff was messed up on mainline linux. I can probably configure it to make it work though. We'll see.

OMG this actually worked... LTS is working like a charm. I'm not sure what exactly turned me off from switching kernels before, but I'll definitely keep that round in mind for future occurrences. Thanks for all the support and suggestions from everybody.
