Everyone:
I sincerely hope someone can help me with this. This morning, KDE seems
to have pushed Plasma 5.20--and the push was incomplete. After I had the
bad sense to force some updates, I found that my SDDM theme was gone,
and I couldn't log on.
Finally I gained enough access to install an SDDM theme--and in the
process roll back Plasma to 5.19. (Ninety-four downloads, 146 MB.)
So then I got my SDDM display back, and could select a user account,
enter a password, and press Enter.
Only now Plasma won't load no matter what I do.
I cannot send any logs, because I literally do not have the kind of
access that would let me copy and paste into an e-mail. I am sending
this on an auxiliary machine.
The contents of .xsession-errors is something like:
kwin_x11: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libkwin...: undefined symbol
plus a very long string that among other things contains the substring
"Weyland" and "Plasma."
How do I get Plasma to load and get past that "symbol lookup error" in
an X session?
If I can't manage this, I'm going to have to spend a great deal of time
doing a "clean install" of F33. I might be able to save my files--I have
a separate drive that I mount as /crypt to make it part of the file
system. But it seems to me that I'm missing a very simple fix.
