[SOLVED] KDEInit could not launch / Bus error (core dumped) on all KDE

Hey,

After the latest KDE (kf5, plasma-next and kde apps) upgrade, (almost) no KDE app is running. They all give "KDEInit could not launch <app path / app name>" when running them using menu, and "Bus error (core dumped)" when runnong in console. Happens for all apps I have tried, Konsole, Kate, Kwrite.

Just tried few more apps, kgpg, ktorrent, choqok and they give the following error

QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
unnamed app(18887): Communication problem with  "ktorrent" , it probably crashed. 
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" 

System Settings open fine and haven't seen any issue with any non-kde app. QT only app (like pumpa) works fine.

I have found some threads with KDEInit issue here, one linked to the post saying you should put kde-beta above extra, but I don't have kde-beta enabled, and other asked to change static hostname, but that doesn't work either.

Any other suggestions?

P.S: I use sddm.

Do you have any free space in your /var partition?

No, I don't

Emptied some space and it's working now. Thanks

Edit: So, KDE uses /var when runing apps, but other apps don't?If space is full (/var is os / partition) shouldn't all app crash.

Most apps use /tmp for their temporary files, which is in tmpfs. KDE apps additionally use the persistant /var/tmp location to store the cache, which is physically on the /var partition. KF5 apps use the standard ~/.cache location instead, so this issue should get fixed as more apps get ported to KF5.
