[SOLVED] After Big KDE Update Plasma Desktop Stuck On Splash Screen

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. 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!!
