Troubleshooting

Theme not applying

Clear Plasma cache and restart if theme changes don't appear:

rm -rf ~/.cache/plasma* ~/.cache/ksvg*
kquitapp6 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell

Conky not starting

Check for errors and verify sensors:

conky -c ~/.config/conky/lainux.conf
ls /sys/class/hwmon/*/name

HiDPI Display Configuration

For high-DPI displays (>150 DPI), configure SDDM:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/sddm.conf.d
sudo tee /etc/sddm.conf.d/hidpi.conf << 'EOF'
[General]
GreeterEnvironment=QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=2,QT_FONT_DPI=192

[Wayland]
EnableHiDPI=true

[X11]
ServerArguments=-dpi 192
EOF

Adjust DPI values based on your display resolution.
