KDE Plasma stuck at loading screen after update

Support KDE Plasma

Hello,

after I´ve searched for over an hour now not finding anything helpful, I´ll try my luck here now.

After an update over pamac today (big update, many packages ~2,1 GB) I rebooted the machine and now the desktop doesn´t load anymore. It always gets stuck at the loading screen with the manjaro logo and the bar filled about 50%. Switching to CLI (Strg+Alt+F2) works and backswitching brings me a black screen with the movable mouse.

I´ve already updated the mirrors and made another update (pacman -Suu) which updated 14 packages, so I think something went wrong during the update, but nothing helps.

(Switching to another Kernel or to initramfs doesn´t help)

My System:
Kernel: 5.10.18
CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X
MB: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming
GPU: GTX 1080 with driver nvidia-460xx (in mhwd it shows only as “video-nvidia”)

I hope somebody can help me here

Mine did the same thing. In my case it was because I was previously using kwin-lowlatency which I built from aur. All I can suggest is to make sure you’re definitely using the stock kwin 5.21 from Manjaro.

Thanks for the offer, but it’s probably best to maintain social distancing for the time being :rofl:

Seriously, glad to hear it worked.
