Re: Plasma 5 doesn't start after update on Stretch



Plasma 5 is not starting here either.
I did get an error message after several tries:
kwin_x11 PID: 2719 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)
Writing from another computer, before upgrade

Hello list!

I'm on Debian Stretch and today, after an update, Plasma 5 doesn't
start anymore.

These are the packages updated this morning:

First of all, sddm doesn't show at each reboot and when
it doesn't I have to restart it (# service sddm restart), it is the
first time I see it behaving like this. When I successfully log in I
see the splash screen of Plasma 5 but the progress bar gets stuck near
the end and then nothing happens.

I thought it could be a problem with some configuration files so I
created a new user in order to have a clean home dir and I tried to
login with it, but unfortunately the problem reappeared. Also I tested
the login using lightdm instead of sddm, but nothing changed.

These tests lead me to think that this issue is related to the packages
updated today. Do you have any suggestions to further investigate this
problem? Is there someone else who experienced the same issue?

Please add me in CC if you reply, thank you.

Best regards
Francesco

I downloaded libkdecorations2-5_5.3.2-1_amd64.deb and libkdecorations2private5_5.3.2-1_amd64.deb from https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/debian/pool/main/k/kdecoration/ to my /home/jimmy and installed them one at a time using 'dpkg i libkdecorations2-5_5.3.2-1_amd64.deb' and 'dpkg i libkdecorations2private5_5.3.2-1_amd64.deb' and was able to downgrade with no problems, all other packages have been upgraded, rebooting and login with no problem. I hope this helps anyone who got hit by the bug.
