KDE Plasma Black Screen and no toolbar/desktop doesnt work

Hi,

When I tried to pacman -Syu my PC froze while updating, so I waited a while and restarted the machine, because of that I had to reinstall the kernel.

I did it via lived,chroot and pacman.

So I booted again and now I have this problem: I can't click with my touchpad but I can move the cursor,there is no toolbar, the desktop is black.

(Basically I can see the cursor on a black screen)

How can I fix this?

Did you complete the broken/interrupted update? Post the outputs of

sudo journalctl -b
pacman -Qkk > /dev/null
