Thanks for the log it's very helpful. With it, we can see what happened: Sep 02 23:01:11 master-desktop dbus-daemon[663]: [session uid=1000 pid=663] Activating via systemd: service name='org.kde.ActivityManager' unit='plasma-kactivitymanagerd.service' requested by ':1.19' (uid=1000 pid=774 comm="/usr/lib/org_kde_powerdevil") Sep 02 23:01:11 master-desktop systemd[641]: Starting KActivityManager Activity manager Service... [...] Sep 02 23:03:09 master-desktop kactivitymanagerd[835]: The X11 connection broke (error 1). Did the X11 server die? [...] Sep 02 23:03:09 master-desktop systemd[641]: plasma-kactivitymanagerd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Sep 02 23:03:09 master-desktop systemd[641]: plasma-kactivitymanagerd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. [...] Sep 02 23:01:12 master-desktop plasmashell[768]: Aborting shell load: The activity manager daemon (kactivitymanagerd) is not running. So this paints a picture of the X server dying and taking everything down with it during startup. Unfortunately there's no way for Plasma and its daemons to survive this. You'll want to gather X11-related logs and backtraces and submit them in a bug report at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/ |
Created attachment 151791 [details] output of journalctl SUMMARY *** Started the computer, typed password in SDDM and logged in, KDE splash loading animation took a bit longer than usual. After the splash disapeared, no desktop appeared, only mouse cursor showed. There was an animation for hot corner (but since there were no windows, I don't know if it was functioning). No launcher menu (and the bar with quick launch and task bar), the win-key did nothing. alt-space, which usually brings up the search widget did nothing. win+l did return me to the lockscreen, re-opening did nothing. ctrl+alt+del and request to logout did log me out, logging in again brought me to the same state. After restart KDE loaded as usual. I was not able to reproduce this after restart. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Unable to reproduce OBSERVED RESULT No desktop EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.15.60-1-MANJARO (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Attached journal during that time (up to restart, after which KDE loaded fine)
