Unable to start Plasma session after system upgrade

Desktop Environments Plasma
1

Hello! I’ve been using EndeavourOS for about a month now. I upgraded again today and can’t start a Plasma 5 wayland or x11 session. Wayland just crashes and goes back to login screen, and x11 just shows a blank screen after loading for a while. I am fully able to login to a tty session.

Looking at wayland-session.log it reads:

Error: could not determine $DISPLAY.
Error: Can not contact kdeinit5!
org.kde.startup: "kdeinit5_shutdown" () exited with code 255

In journalctl the main error (grepping wayland) I see is

Error while loading shared libraries: libqaccessibilityclient-qt5.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

sudo pacman -S libqaccessibilityclient-qt5

would be my first try.

I installed libqaccessibilityclient-qt5 and now the wayland session doesn’t completely crash, but now I’m getting that plasma failed to start after it can’t find libKUserFeedbackCore.so.

4 
sudo pacman -S plasma-desktop

That’s what I would try, but don’t blame me if it doesn’t work.

Same error sadly. I can’t find what package that library is in.

6

Package “kuserfeedback5”

It worked after installing that. Looks like it was just a matter of finding all the dependencies that weren’t installed (libqaccessibilityclient-qt5 and kuserfeedback5). Thanks!

looks like you said no to the questions where you should have said yes (replace plasma packages with plasma5 packages).
Or you rebooted while the update was still running.

I recall seeing the prompt, and I at least meant to hit yes, but I may have hit no by accident.
