Yesterday everything was working fine - today kde/plasma starts without loading desktop background picture and missing taskbar. So I cannot start any application "via mouse / gui". I waited more than 20 minutes - no taskbar appears. Fortunately I have left open two console windows at last session which are open now so that I get access to applications via command line
.
I tried downgrading systemd and dependent packages to 239 - but that does not change anything. I tried "kwin --replace &" - that restarts kwin fine but no taskbar at all. I tried rebooting - without success. I can access other PCs running Siduction and will check if behaviour is identical on all of them.
How for hell can I restart taskbar (except kwin --replace &) ?? There is nothing critical in dmesg and Xorg logs - where can I take a look? Is it possible to start a kde/plasma session without loading settings from last session?
I proudly present the first unusable Siduction I got within ~5 years. This is a very good result for a system which bases on "unstable". Millions of Windows users have unusable systems in a much smaller timespan - and I think it can be fixed without new installation.
Best regards
