My Plasma desktop has crashed after launching some heavy AppImage with AppImageLauncher. I had to force log out, but now I cannot log in anymore. Even after reboot. I’m still able to log in with a new user created with useradd -m guest. What happens (with an old user): I boot into sddm I type i…

Finally I have found the issue: I have renamed the folder ~/.local/share/mime and I was able to log in! Unfortunately there is a lot of files in ~/.local/share/mime therefore I didn’t dig deeper to identify the specific file that causes the issue. Thanks @brahma , @cscs , @Yochanan , I wouldn’t hav…

Make sure to try empty session and/or new user. (if it does not affect the new user we know it is not a system-wide issue)
