KDE Plasma corrupted completely

Hello, after doing an Syu and rebooting to check if a kernel bug that I was experiencing was fixed (had to switch to linux-lts from linux) I received an error and had to mess around in chroot until everything was fixed. I had some issues with vmlinuz and after reinstalling grub and regenerating the cfg I was able to finally log into my system just to see that KDE was completely corrupted, and what I mean by that is black screens and all of the widgets are either gone or completely unresponsive (this includes the task bar and etc) the desktop was also completely unresponsive. so I had to install XFCE so I could actually use my system. I tried reinstalling plasma (Rns) and also clearing the cache.

I don't know what outputs to post for this because this is the first time that I had to deal with something like this

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

after doing an Syu

Relevant pacman log.

a kernel bug that I was experiencing

Specifically? GPU related?

I received an error

"an" error… which one?

mess around in chroot

And so now your system is a mess… what exactly did you "have" to do?

I don't know what outputs to post for this

Me neither, but I'd first look at the system journal for an oversight and maybe general errors prone to cause this.

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

after logging into a plasma session.

Does KDE work for a fresh user account?

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

Hey seth, the kernel bug that I was experiencing is the bug that I spoke about in my other thread about the monitor being stuck at 60hz.

The first error that I received was file /boot/vmlinuz not found.
After reinstalling both linux and linux-lts I am pretty sure I got a different error premature end of file /boot/vmlinuz-linux both of those are obviously at the grub menu screen.
All I did was chroot into the system, reinstall the kernels (I tried some old versions and the newer ones) After that didn't work I tried fixing one of the errors that I received when I installed one of the kernels the error was present file /etc/mkinintcpio.d is empty so I deleted the empty files, and pretty sure afterwards I reinstalled the kernels and I rebuilt the image with mkinitcpio -P, that at first didn't help so I tried removing one of the kernels just in case it was a new bug that one couldn't be with another and I saw that grub wasn't updating, so I chrooted again. did grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB, then entered grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. that's all I did whilst being chrooted into the system.

if you're talking about /var/log/pacman.log it is too big for wgetpaste and if not I apologise for misunderstanding.

Here is the system journal when I am logged in XFCE if that matters http://ix.io/3NiQ
And here it is when I am logged in with KDE plasma http://ix.io/3NiU

I will try out using a new user asap I got something to attend to

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

Jan 23 22:47:57 ayylmao plasmashell[3872]: "file:///usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/org.kde.image/contents/ui/main.qml" 
                                            "Error loading QML file.\n10: module \"QtQuick.Controls\" version 2.1 is not installed\n"

There's a whole bunch of those.

pacman -Qs quick
pacman -Qikk qt5-quickcontrols2

"vmlinuz not found" and "premature end of file" sounds like an FS corruption, bad trimming or the like.
You may want to look at

LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files"

Edit:

pacman.log it is too big for wgetpaste

Only the relevant tail would be of immediate interest.

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

And how would I go about doing what you've asked here?

Look at the timestamps in the log - the ones of the last couple of days would likely be relevant.

However:

error: error while reading file /var/lib/pacman/local/qt5-quickcontrols2-5.15.2+kde+r10-1/mtree: Unrecognized archive format
qt5-quickcontrols2: no mtree file

This is bad.

this didn't work for me LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files"

"Didn't work" *how*?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

You'll at least have to re-install qt5-quickcontrols2

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

"Didn't work" *how*?

When I entered the command all it gave me was a > prompt and that's it. Sorry for the empty reply

And when I tried to reinstall qt5-quickcontrols2 it gave me a lot of conflicting files errors

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

Ah, bad copypasta (on my side)

LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files"'

You get the conflicts because of the broken database, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … )%22_error
You can glob with an asterisk "*"…

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

Thanks for your help and patience, Seth.
How do I gather all of the output of "LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files"'" I am pretty sure I am misusing wgetpaste

And with the "comm -23 <(pacman -Sgq base | sort) pkglist.orig >> pkglist" from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … l_database I got the output of comm: file 2 is not in sorted order
comm: input is not in sorted order, what does this mean?

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files' > broken_packages.txt 2>&1

What's the output of "pacman -Sgq base"?

And there is no output for "pacman -Sgq base"

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

The packages w/ "no mtree file" need to be re-installed

npm: no mtree file
python-lxml: no mtree file
python-urllib3: no mtree file
python-zipp: no mtree file
qt5-quickcontrols2: no mtree file
vulkan-tools: no mtree file
webkit2gtk: no mtree file

Likewise

qqc2-desktop-style: 76 total files, 55 altered files
qt5-declarative: 1055 total files, 21 altered files
qt5-quickcontrols: 433 total files, 426 altered files
qt5-webengine: 357 total files, 9 altered files

looks wrong™ (so re-install them as well)

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

Unable to install these packages it says files already exist on the system, and to continue with the restore of the local database I need to deal with

comm: file 2 is not in sorted order
comm: input is not in sorted order

what does this mean?

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

We've been there… https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p2017730

"comm" compares input but there's no input because there's no longer a base group, https://archlinux.org/news/base-group-r … -required/
And you don't have to do that right now.

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

So I can continue with the restoring just without that part?

Also I appreciate your effort in trying to help me, but I think it'll be better if I just reinstall the system, I don't have anything important installed I just feel like even after messing around and restoring the database the system won't be as stable as it was

Yes.

I think it'll be better if I just reinstall the system

Define "better".
More time effective? Not unless you're using some pre-fabbed derivate.
More educating? No.

I just feel like even after messing around and restoring the database the system won't be as stable as it was

That's nonesense - I'd rather be worried about what has corrupted the files in the first place.

Re: KDE Plasma corrupted completely

I honestly agree with you, I would've spent more time trying to figure out what happened but I just got sick with corona for the first time and I felt god awful for a bit and I just wanted to use my system properly and after installing arch quite a few times I felt like reinstalling the system would've been easier.

Thank you for all of your help.
