KDE not working after reinstalling poppler

Support KDE Plasma
1

I had a problem with poppler not running as intended, so every latex application threw me an error, after reinstalling, everything went fine. Now after a few days, KDE doesn’t seems to work correctly. Commands are working fine via CLI and apllications are launching, but plasmashell won’t. When i try to start it via CLI i only get “starting invalid corona “org.kde.plasma.desktop””.

Also journalctl is throwing this on startup:

:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

  1. Please read this:
    How to provide good information
    and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… :grin:
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
  3. Does this also happen when you create a new user and log in there? (E.G. havanaboy12)

:thinking:
