Hi!
This morning an apt update broke my kde. I can log in, but only to get
into a black screen with the mouse's cursor, even using a newly created
user.
I can't see any obvious error in syslog, but there is something in .xsession-errors :
Kapplymousetheme ("breeze_cursors","24") exited with user code 255
And some lines below a lot of unrecognized keysims from kwin_xkbcommon, a NULL argument for networkIdsList, a failed to parse kaccess.desktop, many other errors ( sorry, I'm typing on phone) until a broken connection to the X11 server brings back the login screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Removing ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and relogin
did the trick, but lost all the personalization.
Hi Miguel,
I assume you are on sid/testing and you did a dist-upgrade (or
full-upgrade).
This morning I tried to dist-upgrade sid but I eventually gave up since apt asked to remove plasma-desktop and other stuff I didn't think it was good
to remove.
Look at the logfiles in /var/log/apt and see if something got removed along with the upgrade.
Just guessing.
Best

The main drawback I see every time KDE gets updated is that everything changes. Few weeks ago the main menu changed to a ugly one with too
big icons... and no way to get back the old one. Today the taskbar
reappeared with an "only icons" version. Once I changed the widget to
the traditional one I just have too much text in taskbar items...
KDE is a constant fight between the user keeping things like he wants
and the developers changing everything to a worse / uglier version.

There is a small difficulty around `libqalculate22`, with `dist-upgrade`.
And
you might have to manually fix it. (It was the 16th, and `dist-upgrade`
was
removing a large part of kde).
I did:
`aptitude full-upgrade libqalculate20-`
and then:
`aptitude full-upgrade`
On `#debian-next`, someone did suggest:
`apt full-upgrade task-kde-desktop plasma-workspace kwin-x11`
(I use wayland, not sure it would have worked).

I somehow disagree. Since I started packaging KDE/plasma with 5.18 or
so, I have been tracking every single minor and major release within a
few days, and I never have seen any considerable change in
layout/design.
So I am really surprised about your experience.

So you are maintainer and you package KDE for Debian, I understand
correctly? If, yes thanks for your work :)
Unfortunately, OP author got this because he clicks YES when apt
full-upgrade wants to many delete packages due to unmet dependencies.

I am really surprised your experience is not the same if we are
running the same KDE.
One or two months ago the main menu changed drastically. Now the
taskbar is a only icons version, another drastic change. What is the
secret to keep KDE the same across updates? I would love to hear from
you.

Well, that is OP fault. Running sid/testing requires a minimal knowledge about what is going on, and often waiting for conflicts to be fixed by updated packages instead of removals.
Nothing I can do here.
