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?
The usual... Try if it happens to a new user too - to find out if you have systemwide breakage, or just your user settings. If it's your user settings then you may want to issue a "resetplasma": 'kquitapp plasma-desktop && rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop* && plasma- desktop &' You also may want to use 'zypper dup -r <kde4-stable-repo-alias>' or use yast for these kinds of updates - since 'zypper up' doesn't handle "red packages", vendor changes or other funny stuff that comes with using OBS repos. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
