Hi all,

 

I am used to update my systems every day, but this time.... 

 

Yesterday, all of a sudden, after an "apt update" command showed to me there was 222 updates available. Wow, there was many updates on KDE, I left it for later, but after finishing my tasks I made the upgrade.

 

After reboot, at login screen, password was accepted but login screen reappears. I tryed many times.

 

I noticed that login was set to "KDE Wayland"... I changed to "KDE X11" and Bingo... Login ok.

 

But Task bar is shown everything to the left and without the apps. All apps used before last logout were reopened, but all of them were located on top left of screen and no way to change the top app, only terminating the top app to access other app. No ALT TAB works.

 

And at botton right of wallpaper it is saying "Plasma 6.3"

 

in other words, unusable...

 

And now, what can I do? If I reinstall .img I cant upgrade anymore???

 

Thanks from Brazil,

 

Cury

This doesn't tell much. This below does

 

 

Providing logs with

 

PASTE_SERVER_HOST=paste.armbian.de armbianmonitor -u

 

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

 

 

Anyway DE is userspace. These packages come from KDE directly. If it worked before but broke after upgrade, there isn't much we can do since we don't control these packages.

Since I have an opi5+ with KDE6 as well I'll try to upgrade later to see what happens.

Cannot confirm. 217 package upgrades, reboot, works fine.

I know updates came from KDE team, but broke my installation.

 

I have another install (same distro) for a OPI5 (not Plus) and I am deferring update.

 

I am looking for a hint.

 

me@OPI5-Armbian:~$ PASTE_SERVER_HOST=paste.armbian.de armbianmonitor -u
Using custom paste server: 'paste.armbian.de'
Collecting info and sending to paste.armbian.de, wait...

Please post the URL in the forum where you've been asked for.
 

Thanks,

Took a quick look. Nothing obvious. Maybe kde noticed some broken package and sent a fixed version in the mean time? Hard to tell...

This sounds like a problem during login - perhaps your display manager logs can give clues. I've seen a problem where kwin_wayland finds the wrong libgbm,so and crashes during login causing

the login screen to re-appear. I dont know what display manager you are using, but hopefully one of the following commands can give clues:

 

grep sddm /var/log/*
grep lightdm /var/log/*
grep kwin_wayland /var/log/*

 

Thanks everybody,

 

After 2 weeks dealing with this issue,on last satuday, I decided to migrate to another Armbian flavor.

 

I had some issues with Armbian Gnome (Firefox and others).

 

So dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Bookworm_current_cinnamon-backported-mesa was the last chance with Mesa.

 

I couldn't install Firefox (latest version) even adding mozilla repo or unstable. I'll give ESR a chance.

 

Thanks again,

 

Cury
