[Solved] Plasma broken after update to 5.20

[Tefrem34]

Hello again.

Well after getting my system to upgrade to the newest version of plasma, I rebooted my system and have no wallpaper or task bar.
I tried these commands:

Code: Select all

kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell
"Application plasmashell could not be found using service org.kde.plasmashell and path /MainApplication."

Code: Select all

kquitapp plasmashell && plasmashell &
[1] 23056
/bin/bash: line 3: kquitapp: command not found
[1]+  Exit 127                kquitapp plasmashell && plasmashell

Code: Select all

kbuildsycoca5 && kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell
kbuildsycoca5 running...
kf.service.sycoca: Parse error in  "/home/rbear/.config/menus/applications-merged/xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu" , line  1 , col  1 :  "unexpected end of file"
kf.service.services: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnupg.pinentry-qt.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line
kf.service.sycoca: Invalid Service :  "/usr/share/applications/org.gnupg.pinentry-qt.desktop"
kf.service.services: The desktop entry file "/home/rbear/.local/share/applications/Krita git.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line
kf.service.sycoca: Invalid Service :  "/home/rbear/.local/share/applications/Krita git.desktop"
"Application plasmashell could not be found using service org.kde.plasmashell and path /MainApplication."

I was not sure which one was the correct one to run, but in any case they all failed. But with the last one at least there is some more feed back with it. But I am not sure what the fix is. I have rebuilt my plasma-workspace and plasma-meta packages but I still get this issue.

Is this a bug or a config conflict from upgrading to the newest plasma version?

Thank you for the help.

I had done a logout and logged back in and for a second I had the wallpaper, but then it instantly crashes.
I found out what the other error where, I had some messed up .desktop icon configs and I got rid of them. But I am still stuck with a broken wallpaper and panel.

I found the solution.
I had a calendar plugin in my tool bar that was causing the crash.
I was able to go to

Code: Select all

~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

and commented out the lines that pertained to the calender applet. Ran "plasmashell &" and vuala I have my panel and wallpaper back.
