Programs only open with Krunner, desktop icons missing after 2-12-2023 Update

@brahma That does the trick, creating new user makes everything works fine so the problem should be something related to it.

I’ll try the cache and config folders advice

Thanks

UPDATE: Deleting or renaming ~/.config folder fixed everything but I can’t figure out what is causing there the issue…

Anyway better than nothing! Thank you so much

Works for me. Thanks.

its probably some plasma config messed up but figuring out which would be waste of time…
you can copy from the config.bak folder into the config folder your browser (firefox/brave…) folders so that you dont have to set them up again - of course you can copy folders of other programs too, but dont copy anything back related to plasma, so that the issue is not reintroduced again…

Thank you @brahma this did work for me, too!

So after try to just moove the kscreen directory ( /home/.local/share/kscreen)
i try to move the cache ( mv .cache .cache.bak)
Then reboot Nothing Happend.
Then i try to move only the K file from .config
(cd .config ; mv k* K_backup)
Then reboot Nothing Happend.

I will try with plasma (mv plasma* Plasma_backup) file from .config folder and y back…

[zobi8225]

And it works !
So, don’t remove all your .config folder.
Juste go the .config then remove your plasma configuration !
cd ~/.config; mv plasma* Plasma_backup

Thanks @brahma for finding the first clue !

The issue seems to be within the file .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, specifically within this section:

[ScreenMapping]
itemsOnDisabledScreens=

After deleting the section (best to use vim or something that works on ~20 MB file), and rebooting, everything is back to normal.

Can confirm that this fixes the issue.

Thank you @vrj

I’ve removed this section before updating
Updated the system, rebooted
Now the section is there again, but everything works!
Thanks
