Hi there. I’m desperately asking for some help, because my computer is now unusable.
I made a an update with dnf update
instead of using discover and something updated … But I don’t remember what.
And now, when I reboot, plasmashell create 20 something windows saying that it crashed.
What I have tried so far, with no results
- switching to an older kernel
- reinstall a fresh copy of plasma (
dnf reinstall plasma-desktop plasma-workplace
)
- keeping only one monitor
- removing plasma related files/folder in .cache and .config
I’m running out of ideas, and google or this forum doesn’t help me anymore

dnf history list
, dnf history info <number>
will let you know what changed. Read the dnf5-history
manual for more information.
Depending on the issue, the best place place for help are KDE places. People have reported similar issues. Also check the bug list.
I think it’ll be helpful if they see your debug logs,
There are plasma shell files in ~/.local/state/plasma*
that you can try deleteing as well.
There should be useful information in the user’s journal.
You can access it from using the journalctl --user
command when logged in as your user.
You will want to limit the logs that you view using journalctl options line --since.
The details are in man journalctl
.
Often this is a good starting point:
journalctl --user -b 0 -g plasma
FYI it’s very rare that you ever need to reinstall an RPM on a linux system.
