I am on my 4th nuke and pave with this install and I cannot narrow down what is causing this issue. After I reinstall from the live image I start setting up firefox downloading and installing applications etc. Then after some time ( this is where I haven’t been able to pin down what may be the cause, not certain if it is one of the apps being installed or updated or what) I can no longer open system settings, and once that happens the only option on the “leave” panel that works is suspend, hibernate and lock screen. clicking on System settings will bounce a few times, pop the icon on the panel and then crash out. the only change I have made within system settings is turn num lock on at plasma start. Once all this happens if I reboot or do a hard reboot I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor and can only access tty2.
