Welcome. Let's go step by step.
I also found this searching the web. What about re-installing plasma.desktop or updating it?

I don't think it applies to your problem. He said he did a fresh install without formatting, and that's a recipe for problems. If you can not format, the correct procedure is "upgrade", as you did.
But you got some advice from Patrick that might work [...] Ok, I see it didn't.
Ok, what happens if, on the text console, you do:
init 3 init 5
Tell the exact errors you get. Take a photo perhaps.
I can and have been going to tty (F1) and can log in as jim and root. I have run init 3 just ot shut down the desktop before i make changes. Then running init 5 takes me back to desktop login (KDE).
Ok, Good. :-)
I can do this in tty on that machine or thru temrinal on my macbook. I've even run init 6 via remote terminal to restart the machine, works fine.
The system is up and running, and has been. That "logitechmediaserver" rpm is managed thru http://localhost:9000, that's the only display built in, so I don't see that that would be a problem. And it is working fine.
I haven't done the rest of your suggestions below yet. I will shortly, but wanted to relay this. The desktop is up (and has been). Previous widgets are there and working. I can right click on the desktop and select the options present, and those work. From there I can open Dolphin, or select 'Leave' to logoff, restart etc, all of which work fine.
Its just that when I click specifically on the Start gecko, I get the following bubble popup message just over the start gecko right where the menu should be:
Error loading QML file: file:///usr/share/ plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/ contents/ui/main.qml27.1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.kicker" is not installed
Ok, then I would switch to any other desktop except plasma till all other quirks are ironed out or someone finds how to solve that particular problem.
Before I proceed with the below, I'll wait to see if this provides any more clues as to what to do.
No, those instructions assumed that you did not get a graphical desktop and were trying to solve that. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
