[SOLVED]: KDE Plasma Windows Stuck

dramatis.persona · 2025-07-19 02:49:15

Hi,

My Arch seems to be broken. I have the KDE Plasma as the window manager. If I try to open Konsole or any other window it is stuck and can't move. I'm not sure what happened. I did a previous system upgrade about a week ago that had failed due to the linux-firmware so I did it with that and everything was OK. I logged in today and now I am in this situation. I'm not sure how to proceed.

These are the errors from journalctl in my last boot with error in them:

Please chose more informative subjects than "generic seems generic"
Please use [code][/code] tags, not "quote" tags. Edit your post in this regard.
Then don't filter for random lines unless you precisely know what you're looking for.

However:

Jul 18 22:31:28 anonymous-arch plasma_session[641]: org.kde.plasma.session: error starting process "kwin_x11" QList()

Thanks. This resolved the issue. Well...at least via Hyper-V manager on which my Arch Linux is installed.

With the latest xrdp 0.10.4.1 and xrdporg 0.10.4.1 it does not. I get the following error:

[Window Title]
Remote Desktop Connection

[Content]
Because of a protocol error, this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again.

[^] Hide details [OK]

[Expanded Information]
Error code: 0xd06
Extended error code: 0x0
Timestamp (UTC): 07/19/25 03:14:35 AM

But I don't believe that is an Arch Linux issue per se but an AUR one.

We'll need to see journal coverage of this or some xrdp log, not a rendition of an "whooposadaisy" dialog - and that should be tackled in a new thread (with a speaking subject )

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Thanks.

I have already created a new issue and uploaded the necessary information to the github for the xrdp project.
