After yesterday's big update I lost a lot: no application menu, no pagers, no notification area, no widgets. I only see the applications in their normal window settings like Dolphin. Other applications can be opened via Alt-F2 (KRunner) en function normally. It seems like the whole Plasma environment is not there. The login is normal, for a moment I see the normal wallpaper of the first activity and then everything goes black except for the Dolphin window that always opens on that first activity. This laptop was upgraded to KDE Neon 20.04 LTS - I mean, no fresh install - and all updates had been done.
What to do? Any suggestions? After some experimenting I see plasmashell keeps crashing. When I start it in konsole I get:

It turns out the event calendar widget - the version I used at least - was causing plasmashell to crash. After removing it I got my beautiful plasma environment back

I just updated Plasma to the latest version and plasmashell is also crashing. How can I try to remove that widget if I cannot see the taskbar? This is the output of plasmashell launched from konsole

Use alt-spacebar (krunner) to open dolphin or any other application, or use the terminal. The widget's page https://store.kde.org/p/998901 links to the bug report that tell you what to delete https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-e ... -692889549 you can also manually start the desktop from krunner, just enter 'plasmashell'

I was able to delete the widget folder and that solved the crash. Thank you very much! |
