.xsession-errors

After making some reconfiguration like display rotation or multiple display position, order, etc. plasma-desktop stops running. This breaks startup as after reboot you only see xserver wallpaper (rotated properly). Quickly fixed by these commands from console:

export DISPLAY=:0.0
kstart plasma-desktop

Note that single monitor setups and/or non-NVidia proprietary work properly

>kstart plasma-desktop

Is this plasma 4?
Comment 5 David Edmundson 2019-07-26 16:28:09 UTC 
Edit, not according your ps attachment which runs plasmashell, but your command to fix it in not...this is highly convoluted.

Can you attach a screenshot of what is wrong.

Correction: only rotation is broken. This is Spectacle screenshot which shows everything OK.

kscreen.log.gz

Strangely, kscreen.log is not rotated and takes 60Mb.

Similar behavior is described here:

Ah, this is one of those things that's fixed in Plasma 5.23.
