Description Terces86 2020-10-09 16:45:17 UTC 
SUMMARY
After todays update kwin can't launch and thus the user is starting on a black screen. Programs can be launched through KRunner or Terminal, but don't have any borders. All Panels are missing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update System
2. Restart
3. Login

OBSERVED RESULT
- Missing background
- programs can only be launched with KRunner or through terminal (they lack borders and can't be moved)
- no panels
- starting Kwin manually returns error: "kwin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkwin.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN14KWaylandServer17XdgShellInterface14surfaceCreatedEPNS_24XdgShellSurfaceInterfaceE"

EXPECTED RESULT
- Boot PC
- Log into my account
- Use account as usual

Comment 1 Terces86 2020-10-09 17:40:24 UTC 
In the forum-thread the user "markfergy" traced the error back to the "libkwaylandserver5" package. Downgrading the package solved  the issue:

"sudo apt-get install libkwaylandserver5=5.19.5-0xneon+20.04+focal+build10"

The same here.
"sudo apt-get install libkwaylandserver5=5.19.5-0xneon+20.04+focal+build10" not work.
Error: E: Versão '5.19.5-0xneon+20.04+focal+build10' para 'libkwaylandserver5' não foi encontrada.
