Hi all
This morning I did the usual weekly "zypper up" to bring my desktop up
to date. I am subscribed to KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.2,
KDE:/KDE4:/Playground/openSUSE_11.2,
KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2 repos, and until today I was a very
happy user of KDE 4.3.4.
However, it appears that KDE 4.3.5 packages had been pushed into
KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.2 without matching updates to
playground and community repositories (in fact, there are no
KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE4_STABLE_Desktop and
KDE:/KDE4:/Playground/openSUSE_11.2_KDE4_STABLE_Desktop repositories).
As a result, after zypper up, I am left with an unusable desktop.
After login, all I see is white background with a transparent
container for each plasmoid. Each container contains a big red error
button and the following error text "This object could not be created
for the following reason: Could not find requested component:
folderview" (or "comic", or "calculator" or "nowplaying" or
"weather".). There is no taskbar.
Interestingly, some of the autostart programs have been started, in
particular konsole (because I can switch to them via Alt-tab. When I
try to restart plasma from konsole using "kquitapp plasma; plasma", it
prints out the following message:
<unknown program name>(32456)/: "application plasma could not be found
using service org.kde.plasma and path /MainApplication"
plasma: command not found
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to recover from this?
Regards,
Vadym
