This system was first installed with Leap 15.0, upgraded to 15.1, now to a partially broken 15.2.
Any suggestions most welcome.
If you login to an IceWM session instead of Plasma, does everything there work?
To confirm the upgrade went as it should have, from any of the vttys, try:
sudo zypper ref sudo zypper dup
OK did the ref and it updated the repos. Running zypper dup returned: The following NEW package is going to be installed: openSUSE-release-ftp The following 7 packages are going to be REMOVED: aaa_base aaa_base-extras kpartx kpartx libefivar1 multipath-tools multipath-tools The following 9 packages are going to be upgraded: gio-branding-openSUSE glib2-lang glib2-tools libgio-2_0.0 libglib-2_0-0 libmodule-2_0.0 libgobject-2_0.0 libgthread-2_0.0 yast2-packager The new and updates packages returned no errors, but I got errors on deleting the 7 packages saying they weren't installed. At the first error I tried "retry", but got the same error. So I tried "ignore" on them all. On one I got a different message. Removing multipath-tools-0.7.9+195+suse.16740c5-lp151.2.12.1.x86_64 ..........done Additonal rpm output: Failed to try-restart multipath.services: Unit multipath.service not found. After installing the remaining updates it finished with this message. Problem occurred during or after installation or removal of packages: Failed to cache rpm database (1).

Please see the above error message for a hint. I think I got that typed correctly. BTW I was in tty while running in init 5 (that was on F7), I was in F1. Jim F
If no errors, but still fubar Plasma, try:
sudo zypper ve
If trouble still, attach to an email (not cut and paste within) output from:
sudo zypper lr -d
Maybe first try something simpler. Logged on a vtty instead of Plasma, delete the content of ~/.cache/, then start a Plasma session.
