Hello everyone, i am quite new to Arch Linux. Could someone help me with this:
after sudo pacman -Syu i can’t use my kde plasma 6. I am still able to use tty, so i tried to reinstall it, but it didn’t help.
Btw there were no errors in terminal during system upgrade
my last pacman -Syu gave me the following:
resolving dependencies…
:: There are 2 providers available for qt6-multimedia-backend:
:: Repository extra
qt6-multimedia-ffmpeg 2) qt6-multimedia-gstreamer
Enter a number (default=1):
I chose 1, then experienced kde plasma problems such as:
Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt6/qml/org/kde/plasma/networkmanagement/libplasmanm_internalplugin.so: libKF6ModemManagerQt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I walked away and came back and my sys shut down and i booted back into emergency shell, but thought it was related to repartitioning. I booted to GParted live and ran a ‘Check’ on each partition to identify / rectify any problems. It didn’t report any, but when I started up again, my desktop was back. my panel icons are giving me UI problems though (e.g. my error above)
I’m not sure if any of that information was helpful, but I’m wondering if you’ve found a resolution ?
Hi - I’m not an Arch Linux user myself, so take this with a grain of salt… but I’ve seen folks on the Arch Linux Forums post about various “Cannot load library” issues that at least sometimes circle back to having -git versions of packages installed.
Those Arch packages seem to end up providing libraries that are “whatever the last source code commit was” and don’t work with the released versions of programs, which were expecting the official released version libraries.
Some examples from the Arch forums that might be helpful: [SOLVED] KDE load error with problems in "libKF5PlasmaQuick" / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums and after "sudo pacman -Syu", desktop system met many issues. / AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests / Arch Linux Forums
Hope that is at least of some help!
