Description tobolikg 2023-10-14 09:53:21 UTC
Linux: fedora 38 (6.5.5 and 6.5.6 see below)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

DESCRIPTION
I ran some updates and for a while everything was looking good, but after some time login screen didn't show up, there was just a cursor and black screen (with dell logo in background)
Most recent kernel i have is 6.5.6 so I tried booting to 6.5.5 and the problem is similar, but after a moment the login screen showed up, so I took it from there and tried searching for the issue.

I booted back to 6.5.6 and started troubleshooting and I noticed the plasmashell wasn't running:

○ plasma-plasmashell.service - KDE Plasma Workspace
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service; disabled; preset: disabled)
    Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d
             └─10-timeout-abort.conf
     Active: inactive (dead)

So I tried to start it but I got error message about abort(?) signal with core dumped.
Checked the status again:

NOTES
I tried reinstalling gpu driver as well as qt and plasma-workspace, even some kde packages. Tried even reseting the configuration (https://wiki.debian.org/KDE#Reset_your_KDE_Plasma_configuration_to_defaults), nothing helped
