I have no idea how you copied/pasted that listing, but for me it is uninterpretable :frowning:

But it won’t solve this…

That means that kwin crashed.

You should still be able to reach krunner via Alt+F2, try to manually run “kwin_x11” there.
Or even better, run Konsole, and type “kwin_x11” into it, you hopefully will get a clue why it crashes then.

zypper lr -d

You should have absolutely no need to use KDE:Frameworks5 on Tumbleweed, as you get the latest versions via the standard repos anyway.

That devel project contains Plasma 5.12 beta meanwhile, maybe you have an incompatible mix of packages installed now.
Try to run “sudo zypper dup --from KDE:Frameworks5” and see if it fixes your problem.

Or remove KDE:Frameworks5 and run “zypper dup --allow-vendor-change” to switch back to the standard versions.
(in that case, you should also change the KDE:Extra URL to point to http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ though)

But it made it at least readable (thank you) and as you have seen there are some interesting observations about it to make.

… I chose the last pathway, downgraded some 260 packages, now old lightbulb and frames back. Everything back to normal! Many thanks!

No idea where these “strange” repos came from. Same machine with the strange two caches in fstab nobody knows where they came from…
