Greetings,
Just did an upgrade from my stable Leap 15.1 install to 15.2. I downloaded the DVD and did the upgrade from booting that. It asked me if I wanted to used the online repos as I have an internet connection so I said OK. Everything seemed to go well and booting into my KDE desktop. But clicking the gecko start menu gives an error.
"Error loading QML file:file///sur/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/contents/ui/main.qml:27:1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.kicker: is not installed"
The system is running and I see my desktop widgets doing their thing. But I can't do anything. I can get to tty1 and login as root but I don't know what to do from there.
I tried running yast in tty1 but get errors when I try software management.
Which errors? Give details, please.
This system was first installed with Leap 15.0, upgraded to 15.1, now to a partially broken 15.2.
Any suggestions most welcome.
The first step is to repair all rpm configs.
Run "rpmconfigcheck" and repair all those that result.
Some instructions here "https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Offline_upgrade" (section "Stale configuration files").
If Plasma doesn't start, use another desktop, there are many. You can also try creating a new user.
Running rpmconfigcheck lists over a screens worth of .rpmnew mentions. I have not found any man page to show me options for fixing this with rpmconfigcheck. I may try a new user but I'm way out of practice in command line. Jim F
