That’s exactly the problem:

This means that startkde tries to find qdbus-qt5 in /home/haib/anaconda3/bin, where it doesn’t exist.
You basically have these options to fix it:

remove the PATH= line that the Anaconda installer added from your ~/.bashrc and set the path manually before running Anaconda

copy or symlink qdbus-qt5 in /home/haib/anaconda3/bin

modify /usr/bin/startkde and add the explicit path to the call to qtpaths, i.e. replace qtpaths with /usr/bin/qtpaths

See also Could not start D-bus. Can you call qdbus-qt5? - Install/Boot/Login - openSUSE Forums for the previous discussion…

Btw, I submitted the second change to openSUSE’s Plasma5 packages recently so this should not happen any more in Tumbleweed and Leap 42.2, but not yet as update for 42.1.
Though, I still think it’s a bug in Anaconda’s installer that might break other things as well.

sorry …
I did remove the PATH= line from ~/.bashrc
but for copying qdbus-qt5, i don’t know where to find it so i can copy it ?
and for modifying /usr/bin/startkde what is the exact line i should replace with /usr/bin/qtpaths ?
