Hi,
Problem:
After a reboot today, I can open windows, but I cannot move them or switch between them. I am not sure exactly what the problem is or how to troubleshoot it.
Environment
Guess
Thanks in advance
inxi in a terminal or in console.sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
)Thank you for the kind response.
I could not copy/paste info before because I could not even switch between windows.
For some reason, after the last reboot things are working again - I wish I knew why it wasn’t working earlier.
Are there special windows manager logs, etc I can look into?
Although everything is working now, when I look into system logs I see that plasma-kwin_x11.service: Failed with result 'exit-code' However when I look through ps -aux I still see kwin-x11 running.

This could be theme related - if you are using a custom theme.
Custom themes you download and install throught the Settings Manager is neither tested nor validated.
Switch to the Global theme to default Manjaro or Breeze theme - and to be sure you sure the complete default - tick the include box before application.
Then restart to complete the transition.
Thank you for the suggestion. I am using bits & parts of various themes (like icons, etc). But I set that stuff up back in 2019, haven’t touched it since. Which is really a credit to Manjaro’s stability & the communities contributors.
The problem I am experiencing is new to me.
This issue happened again this morning, I rebooted and now all is good again.
Is there a way I can see what’s happening? Are there any logs, I can review?
When I look through journalctl for kwin related logs starting today’s boot (the one that had issues). I see a few logs starting with KCrashs - do these ring a bell - class names seem to suggest OpenGL or Qt?

Please try to do as suggested:
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem
Thank you @andreas85 I saw that as well. But which application is it complaining about…
I have found this thread - I’ll read through it later (qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. | Qt Forum)
Seems like a similar issue…
Could not load the Qt platform plugin “xcb”
