Since yesterday’s update plasmashell takes ages to complete it’s startup.
After login I see a completely black desktop (no icons, no panel, no anyhting). I only have conky, Latte dock and Yakuake.
I tried killing and restarting plasmashell to no avail.
After several minutes (19 minutes the last time I tried) plasmashell finally wakes up and completes loading (desktop background appears, panel appears, etc).
Trying to start it from CLI I see nothing obvious pointing at the reason for the delay.
That’s how I’m updating. Zypper says there is nothing to do.
However, I don’t see this problem on my work laptop, only on my desktop at home. Must be something related to my desktop PC or to the network at home.
On a side note: I don’t have an ‘/etc/release’ file. Should I?
