Yeah, that David’s hack works for the time being at least, tested immediately on another user’s account without reboot. Of course a proper fix would be a much better solution, but we have to wait for KDE devs to prepare and release it. Thanks Phil for the quick patch.
XFCE + BTRFS + linux58
Getting this:
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:6: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:8: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:10: command not found: append_path
I just noticed that too.
It’s not just for root it’s for any user:
I see the same on my system. It is worth mentioning that sudo su does not show the same errors.
I just edit/revert the /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh…append_path -> PATH=$PATH:
Ref:
(Bug) FS#67990 - append_path not defined
(commit) Check if PATH is already set in $PATH
edit: I see this behaviour/error on Tilix terminal but not on Konsole terminal…as workaround to this error…I revert it
Please do not post screenshots of terminal output, copy+paste and use proper formatting.
filesystem package needs an update (last packager is @philm):
appendpath function from /etc/profile changed to append_path and /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh (from updated perl package) tries to use it.

The proper fix is currently in review. More or less it is a regression in Qt. So if you want to test it with qt5-base, I could provide a package, however it is too early, so I rather keep the working workaround for Plasma and check later when upstream completed the code-review at Qt Inc.

produced a new /etc/nsswitch.conf.pacnew.

# passwd: files mymachines systemd
# group: files mymachines systemd
passwd: files mymachines
group: files mymachines
nsswitch.conf.pacnew:
passwd: files systemd
group: files systemd
Any suggestions how to merge this?

It was produced because of boot problems we had some time ago when new (at that moment) systemd brought incompatibilities with network devices. Remember? NFS mounts and stuff.
These commented entries in your nsswitch.conf are meant to workaround that bad situation, but now there’s no need in that, assuming you have done correcting mount units or fstab options for mounts. Search through old forum announcements and you’ll find the case.
To be clear: there’s no such pacnew on my machine. Those strings are not commented out.

All good here on 5.8/KDE/AMD. It seems the plasma-multimonitor-workaround is working properly 
This is how it looks on my system:
# Name Service Switch configuration file.
# See nsswitch.conf(5) for details.
passwd: files systemd
group: files systemd
shadow: files
publickey: files
hosts: files mymachines mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns mdns4 myhostname
networks: files
protocols: files
services: files
ethers: files
rpc: files
netgroup: files

With that new nsswitch.conf my system still has looong boot times and Unexpected error response from GetNameOwner(): errors. sddm even dumps core.
Upstream bug is still open:
I’m back to:
passwd: files mymachines
group: files mymachines
and all is well…
