Hi all, I did an update today and Plasma doesn't start anymore, though X is there.
Once in Xorg, I can open a terminal and some weird things happen:
~ > systemsettings5
zsh: exec format error: systemsettings5
~ > ls /usr/bin/systemsettings5 -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 10 08:02 /usr/bin/systemsettings5
and plasma doesn't start either:
~ > plasmashell
kf5.kservice.sycoca: Trying to open ksycoca from "/home/cjb/.cache/ksycoca5"
populateAddPanelsMenu 1
QQmlComponent: Component is not ready
Error: file:///usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/loader.qml:1:1: Expected token `numeric literal'
^
Error: file:///usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/loader.qml:1:1: Expected a qualified name id
^
We have no shell handlers installed
Application::crashHandler() called with signal 6; recent crashes: 1
/usr/bin/plasmashell --crashes 1 &
KCrash: Application 'plasmashell' crashing...
Any ideas what to check?
Thanks!

Looks like a broken installation. Try reinstalling the plasma group

Thanks, I tried
sudo pacman -S plasma
but I get that files exist already in the file system, for example
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/contents/images/1638x1024.jpg exists in filesystem
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/contents/images/1680x1050.jpg exists in filesystem
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/contents/images/1920x1080.jpg exists in filesystem
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/contents/images/1920x1200.jpg exists in filesystem
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/contents/images/640x480.jpg exists in filesystem
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/contents/images/800x600.jpg exists in filesystem
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/contents/screenshot.jpg exists in filesystem
plasma-workspace-wallpapers: /usr/share/wallpapers/Whisker_Grass/metadata.desktop exists in filesystem
Shall I use --force? could there be something else going on?
Thanks.

That confirms that you have a broken installation. You can use --force to reinstall plasma, but probably all packages that were updated in the same transaction are also broken

yes, exactly :S
I am re-installing all of them. The problem was that my computer crashed after re-installing them and I had to do a hard-reboot, now it all makes sense.
Thanks!
