Complete Linux noob here. I started my computer after it was completely shut down, and I can log in fine but nothing will launch. I can’t launch konsole, dolphin, firefox, anything at all with the exception of the Add/Remove Software gui. I get no error messages, I click icons and get the spinning …

At the point the desktop settings are going to be reset anyways … Might as well do all the steps outlined in the archwiki above: cd ~/.config for j in plasma*; do mv -- "$j" "${j%}.bak"; done rm ~/.config/Trolltech.conf kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental And maybe the cache too? rm -rf ~/.cache/* pl…

That was precisely what we were looking for: an abnormally large file size (mine is only about 7 kB). The easiest path is to do as @jcorporon suggested: rename that file and reboot (or maybe just log out and back in). cd ~/.config mv plasma-org.kde.desktop.appletsrc plasma-org.kde.desktop.appletsrc…

TTY If your desktop does not load properly then you might still be able to use most, if not all, functionality by dropping to a non-graphical TTY. By default your system will have multiple TTYs, with each corresponding to an Fx key. Your desktop is assigned to one as well - most often F1. You can change…
