The breeze theme saved but it’s still frozen. Yes, I do know I need a new cpu cooler.

Please edit your previous post and put your garuda-inxi in a code block.

You really should fix that urgently.
Is your Windows running stable at these temperatures?

The user-created widgets are saved in the path I told you. If you delete the content, they won’t load anymore and plasma should work. The question is whether the widget was the cause at all.

What is the name of this ram widget and where did you download it?

Can you upload a screenshot of your broken desktop?

I fully agree.

Best case, you are greatly reducing the lifespan of your computer’s components. Worst case, you are about to suffer catastrophic failures of your most important components in the immediate future.

You really need to address your system temps ASAP.

I’m trying to find an AM4 bracket for my old cpu cooler. Also the cpu is sorta temporary, but that doesn’t excuse it and I still need to fix it.

27

I downloaded the ram widget from the search bar. Pretty sure I searched up memory usage to find it. When I was trying to switch the style of the widget it crashed. I was able to customize it before that. Also it says new users can’t upload images which also pisses me off so if you wanted my screen you could friend me on discord. jollyjeffy11

The memory usage widget is a KDE widget and not user-generated.

Please open Dolphin and go to /home/username/.config/.
Replace the username with the old account name you used to install the widget.

There you open the file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc with an editor, copy the entire content to https://bin.garudalinux.org/ and share the generated link here.

Hope I did it right.

This is the relevant section in your file, you have to delete the lines with the asterisk at the front:

[Containments][363][Applets][382]
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.plasma.plasm6desktopindicator

* [Containments][363][Applets][398]

* lowPrioritySensorIds=["memory/physical/total"]
* totalSensors=["memory/physical/usedPercent"]

[Containments][363][Applets][399]
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.net

Then save and close the editor → reboot and pray.

31

So I get rid of the current text with this?

32

Open the file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc with an editor, look for the lines that I marked with an asterisk at the beginning and delete them.

33

Still not working, every line you gave me was already there in the same words. Please keep in mine that because I’m a new user I don’t have all the messages in the world. This is all really frustrating for me, but dealing with someone’s frustrating problem must be even worse. Takes a lot to help as much as you are, thank you.

I believe the suggestion is to delete those lines. @nepti was identifying the lines so you would know which ones to delete. The final config would look like this:

[Containments][363][Applets][382]
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.plasma.plasm6desktopindicator

[Containments][363][Applets][399]
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.net

These limitations are in place to help safeguard against spam accounts. They go away after you read a few topics. No worries though, I have manually changed your account to TL1 so you do not need to be frustrated by these limitations anymore.

That CPU is blazing hot. You might want to consider switching to the powersave governor for now, to take the curse off a bit until your new CPU cooler is installed.

So I just reinstalled Garuda. I also reinstalled my cpu cool (Stock AM4) because I realized it wasn’t making contact with the cpu. Now it sits at about 50-60 degrees celcius. Before I was considering thermal throttling. I already love the community and appreciate the support and help. I also love the os itself. I’m pretty new to linux but very experienced and knowledged about computers in general and hope that I can also help the community with their own problems.

No worries, glad to hear you resolved the issue. I have marked your comment as the solution.

Good for you for at least attempting to fix it before going for the reinstall, that is a good way to learn. Nice job repairing the cooler as well, and welcome to the community. :wave:
