Plasma desktop is broken [SOLVED]

Deathcoltd · 2024-12-20 19:15:29

My kde desktop stopped working and I do not know if it was due to some update or something else.
Therefore I would like to ask for help.

I can login to the the desktop (SDDM (Xorg/X11 or Wayland) or GDM), but I do not see panels and there is just error message:

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml:15:1: a component declaration requires two or three arguments, but 1 were provided

Because the Konsole runs automatically after start I can run ie. kde settings or another kde apps. In settings I tried to change Theme from Breeze to Oxygen, but it was still the same (that it is somehow broken).

What I tried:
- to remove configs from home for kde and plasma
- to create a new user and then tried to login - same error
- to remove plasma and kde-applications with -Rc (yay -Rc plasma kde-applications) and deleted the folder file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/
then installed again.

Now I work with Gnome, but I prefer KDE with more windows settings.
Plasma apps version is 6.2.4-1

Is the system fully up to date? What does pacman -Qm show?

Well....that is an absolutely insane list. Why in the world do you have so many foreign packages, that system would be a nightmare to maintain. To start with, replace all of those kde packages (that start with a 'k') with the repo versions.

Deathcoltd · 2024-12-20 19:57:28

OK, will do. I have this system for a long time and, I just move it to a new HW, so it has a lot of old packages, but it worked till this week :-).

Deathcoltd · 2024-12-20 20:24:37

Removed, had to do it with -Sc again, but after that I installed plasma and kde-applications again for sure and it works.

Thank you very much.

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

xf86-input-keyboard 1.9.0-3
xf86-input-mouse 1.9.3-1

Jessesmaria… you're in for some spring-cleanup…

pacman -Qo /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml

Edit: F5,
but plasma-desktop didn't show up in your foreign package list?

Edited the post as suggested, thank you.

In my system will be a lot of residuals from my previous experiments with aur packages etc.
But I do not touch it, when it works.

Now I learned something new again and will know where to look.
