I finally grasped the nettle and did the Plasma 5 upgrade. The first machine |
2 |
went OK eventually (apart from the week spent resolving blockers), so I |
3 |
thought the second would be much smoother. And so it was, until I logged on. I |
4 |
got the splash screen, a bouncing ball as something started and then a black |
5 |
screen relieved only by a cursor and a couple of apps in the autostart list. |
6 |
kwin-x11, plasmashell, ksmserver are all running, it seems like something got |
7 |
omitted in the install. Does anyone know which binary starts the window |
8 |
manager and taskbar, etc? I did the usual things like create a new user, |
9 |
rename .kde4, to no avail. |

I have already posted on the Gentoo forums but didn't get much help. You can |
12 |
see the post with the sddm log here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1057060.html. Hopefully the vast intellects of the Gentoo list will have an |
13 |
idea! My current workaround is to install lxqt as the desktop; it works pretty |
14 |
well, if a bit rough around the edges. |
