When I turned on my Manjaro KDE desktop today, the panel/taskbar has completely disappeared and I cannot right-click the desktop. I am still able to run Yakuke so that I am able to access a terminal, but when I run applications from it, they have the kind of lag that leaves behind dozens of copies of the same window. When I close the window, it stays on the screen.
I have updated my system with pacman and tried several solutions online, including a similar yet old superuser post (who's contributors are no longer active), though none of the solutions worked for me. I am happy to provide any additional output if necessary.
Here is the output when I run plasmashell from the terminal:
