Title: [SOLVED] After Big KDE Update Plasma Desktop Stuck On Splash Screen
Post by: sticksix on 17 February 2023, 19:29:22
After Big KDE Update Plasma Desktop Stuck On Splash Screen

Hi all. After updating yesterday When I log in from SDDM Plasma splash screen gets to about 90% and freezes. The mouse pointer works but the splash screen is frozen and Plasma desktop doesn't come up. Never experienced this before so I'm at a bit of a loss. Maybe something to do with X or kwin? I installed xfce4 desktop for the time being. I'm using runit.
Any ideas or anyone else experiencing anything after latest updates?

Thanks.

The issue is probably related to this (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,5102.new.html). Try downgrading kdecoration (5.25.90-1 works for me).

Thanks for the quick response. Ok I downgraded to 5.26.5-1 and Plasma is up but taskmanager plugin is missing a shared file

libKF5Screen.so.7 - cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory.

This works for now. I imagine another update is on the way?

Thanks

It looks like downgrading libkscreen as well will work - or you can try the fix in the OP, though I get an error when I try to compile kwin.

Ok, that got taskmanager working again. This will work for the time being. Thanks for the help!!
