Plasma start errors after todays updates

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I just installed some 600+ updates this morning on TW and on a reboot Plasma fails to start properly with error messages across the screen and where the bottom panel should be. One starts with “Error loading QML file: file:///user/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.containment/contents/ui/main.qml:29:1:plugin cannot be loaded”. I am currently dual booted into Leap to post this. I have a screenshot of the whole message but need to find somewhere to upload it and link to it.

So bottom line here is that I cannot start the KDE desktop session correctly. Anyone have any ideas please as to how to resolve this?

BTDT.

I first did the upate using the GUI updater applet. After getting this error I went to a Ctl+Alt+F1 session and tried zypper dup. That gave me a conflict with libqt5-webengine(sic). Selected the option to remove that package, and it then proceeded to install another 70 updates, and now I can login to KDE.

I had a slightly different result with zypper dup but having guessed which options to take on the other errors I now have TW working, thanks.

Thanks. Same result for me.

To add a little more colour, after selecting the option to remove the qt webengine, you’re still going to be faced with a number of dependency crisises … just select the break qt webengine option each time… eventually you get to the point of adding the 70 additional packages and should then be back in business after a reboot of kde

It would be good if someone has any ideas as to why we hit this error?
