Latest KDE Update Broke Stuff

Cursor looks corrupt, KDE Session uses 50% CPU & CatWalk broke with missing dependency. Will await next snapshot, but had to roll back three days ago.

Sounds like some graphic issues. Or packages from devel and home repos. But due to missing informations it is hard to help. CatWalk sounds like some random external app which is not even available via s.o.o. So also no possibility to help you without further informations.

Please start by sharing the configured repos and your graphics environment at least…

I keep repo hygiene super clean. But got ancient Radeon on C2D setup. The cursor bug has been confirmed.

The bug with the ancient radeon graphics, should be fixed with the next Plasma updates.

The CPU galloping away not present with new user…

I don’t really know what I’m doing, but got this far…
