Plasma panel bug after recent update (Leap)
Leap 15.5, Plasma 5.27.9, x11 A few weeks since I last did updates. Just applied all the current updates and now upon login to Plasma, the default panel doesn't always appear. Logged out and back in again, it was there. Hoped it was a one-off, buggy config update. After another reboot, it took 4 login attempts until I reached a desktop with the panel showing. All the items in the panel are there as per usual, nothing lost, but a PITA and waste of time to get there. Fortunately I often go a week or more without reboots so it won't happen so often. Anybody else has seen this, or knows of a bug or bugfix? I just applied a glut of updates from the last couple of months and didn't see anything particularly Plasma or KDE-related, so it's difficult to pinpoint which package might be responsible. gumb

Furthermore, ISTR that the panel was also intermittent if I booted into an older Leap with KDE, so I really doubt it has anything to do with recent updates. I *think* I may have "fixed" this by reverting to an earlier ~/.config from backup, but I can't find anything specific in my notes, so this is just fallible brain cells talking. -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/

Ok thanks, I'll have to see if it continues to play up from here on. I might need to delete and recreate the panel, and see if that resolves it. gumb
