Re: Plasma black screen after systemd/udev 240-1 update

Happened to me as well.

Just out of curiosity, how do you fix a system in this state? And how you managed to flag "systemd" as the problem?

I did this:

apt purge systemd

apt install systemd=239-15

Then I had to reinstall plasma to a version not requiring the last systemd (not sure if this was really required or I messed up)

apt purge kde-plasma-desktop

apt install kde-plasma-desktop -t testing

Then I had the system back working.

Any info on you handled the situation is appreciated and would be very useful.

holding systemd/udev 239-15 version works.

My debian unstable vm (using qemu) also had problems with the upgrade to udev 240-1. It would eventually come around and display konsole but only after about a minute of high CPU usage and no plasma logo. I downgraded just udev to 239-15 but I had the same response... high CPU usage and long wait. Only after downgrading systemd to 239-15 restored the system with plasma logo displayed and short wait after login.
