Pywal being not optional even though docs say it's optional is the root cause of most of our issues. Apparently this PR claims to fix the pywal bug. Looks like we will just have to wait.

Try add environment variable PATH to your cron file. Run echo $PATH Update cron file with

0 * * * * env PATH=<your-path> DISPLAY=:0 DESKTOP_SESSION=/usr/share/xsessions/plasma DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" /usr/bin/dwall -s lakeside

You could try installing pywal with super user. sudo pip3 install pywal This solved the issue for me.
