@Nail My AUR in Pamac has had some issues lately. Try installing Yay and getting/updating your AUR packages through there. The only potential downside is that Yay requires you to use the terminal.

I don’t know if it helps, but I found this thread when I was looking after my “problem”.
After I installed the new Amarok it did not start with the following plasma error “org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown”.

I now start it with the konsole and it works… not a solution, but at least now I can live with this bug :wink:

Here is a better solution:

→ works for me
