[hhhorb]

The plasma and kernel update on testing two days ago broke my buster desktop...

Anybody else?

Edit:
ps.: siduction is debian sid (unstable) not testing (buster)!

[hhhorb]

I know, but I'm trying to recover the desktop and I'm clutching at straws here. Removing

plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

didn't work for me.

You need to install missing packages from unstable in this case (dist-upgrade). that will fix it. People commonly think, testing is more stable than unstable, but imho it is not.

[hendrikL]

Or if you wanna stay with buster,
in the bug report above is the answer!

[devil]

Is that not precisely what I said?

@devil...

Agreed, especially as packages rush into testing with only four months before The Freeze.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll try running sid till The buster Freeze.

-edit- BTW, move this topic if it doesn't belong in Upgrade Warnings, please.

Agreed with this about Testing...even though Testing gets updates it is not on a steady cadence and things do get rushed into testing at times especially before freezes. I have to admit Sid is actually better

[hhhorb]

Fixed by dist-upgrading to sid...

Thanks for the advice, devil. Marking this thread [RESOLVED].

Good you got your system back in one piece. Thread can stay here, maybe other users run testing systems next to siduction.

[shab]

Everything works fine with one user, but the second user and a new user shows a black screen, no controlpanel and no contextmenu.

[devil]

shab, I don't think, this is the same issue. From what I understood on IRC, you run siduction. This thread deals with problems that occured in debian testing. If you are running siduction, you should open a seperate thread.
