Hi,
Since this morning, after loging in on a Plasma KDE session, I can
first see the desktop then only a black screen with only the mouse
available, nothing else.
Ctrl+Alt+Suppr, brings the log out screen so I can log out.
I can also switch to a text terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F2. That's all.
Workaround (did it many times when plasmashell crashed in the past):
* You can use Alt+F2 to open krunner dialog (normally tiny at the top).
* Than type "plasmashell" + Enter and it should run.
* Even if it crash again, you should be able to use the same method
for running konsole and have further debugging lead.
On the fedora users mailing list, we identified that it is due to
plasmashell crash.
With a newly created user, I get the same problem.
Here is the content of .xsession-errors after the crash:
