Hi, after upgrading to Tumbleweed snapshot 202411211 konsole fails to launch. I have created a backup of kde cache by passing # cp ~./cache ~./cache.bak
Can you help repair this problem (konsole not launching)?

Update, able to edit files via Dolphin using Kate still.

~/.cache (note the difference) is NOT important.

Many folks will delete the ~/.cache/* to fix issues (overall). “.cache” is not important.

What’s “more important” is ~/.config.

@aggie thank you for helping clear up my misinformation. I have taken the liberty to investigate the journal a bit more concerning this matter. Passing journalctl -b -1 -r | grep -i "error\|warn\|fail"
Does appear to have two relevant entires related konsole .

Enable the terminal in Dolphin and perform a zypper dup. libkonsoleprivate.so.24.08.3 is an old version. There is an upgrade to konsole-24.12.0-1.1 in Tumbleweed snapshot 20241213 available.

Afterwards post output from
zypper se -si konsole

Does konsole start now?
Is there any output when you start konsole from the builtin Dolphin terminal?

@hui yes, konsole starts now. No output is displayed via Dolphin terminal now or prior when konsole failed to launch.

I believe the issue is resolved. I am not certain to mark solved yet because of a bit more testing required…

Thanks for your help. :grinning:
