just checking if anyone has the same problem i do, my power buttons are missing from the application launcher (start menu) when i boot up and i have to restart plasmashell (as you do often with kde) to fix it, if anyone can find a link to a bugtracker for it that would be great, thanks (its not disabled in the launcher settings)
There is now a thread on the KDE foruims.
@lolzhunter ,
The common question: Is it the same with a new user?
Not a brilliant temporary workaround with kickoff:
cat kickoff
pkill -u $USER kwin_wayland # logout
reboot
shutdown 0
systemctl hibernate
#pkill -u $USER kwin_x11 # logout X11
cat bye.sh
#!/bin/bash
kickoff --from-file ~/kickoff
And a shortcut to bye.sh
You could also ad a widget to your panel called lock/logout and configure it to show the icons.
restarting desktop is easier i got it on keybind although i have had it not fix it sometimes
Don’t know what is so difficult about right clicking on a panel>add widget , and so on, but that is just me I guess.

I tried that but It doesn’t work, the options are marked unavailable.
Could be a theme thing, but I also had that happen sometimes and after logging out or rebooting (by typing reboot in the terminal ) I could right click on the widget to configure it.
I’ve had the options appear after a startup in the morning (twice in the week it’s been happening) but after the next reboot they’re gone again, so if you use lock/logout widget when it’s fine, it will fail on the next restart.
Never had that happen to me but maybe trying a different theme or create a new panel with only the one widget on it (like I have) might solve it. Also as a side note: Is your system up to date ?
It’s being discussed here as well…
Exactly this. One suggestion on the KDE forum was hardware but I just don’t think so. Tomorrow I’m switching theme components and see what if anything I get.
it goes deeper than the widget, the actual thing that all these power options link to just doesn’t start on initial bootup or something
Well I forgot all about this option, at least it works for me, using ctrl+alt+delete will get me all the options for rebooting etc. Not ideal but at least it is something.

Same here. And I don’t think it’s an annoyance.
You just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, select your option there and are done with it.
I could live with this workflow.

Yea been using it til the devs can figure it out and fix it, though right now I have them back. Good chance they disappear again.
To be honest i almost forgot about it because it was a long time ago I had to use it
