I upgraded from Debian 10 to 11. After completing the upgrade – which had problems due to lack of disk space (there should have been enough), some rkhunter config and unattended-upgr blocking konsole commands – I rebooted.

The first strange thing was that the initial boot screen asking for the grub password was red and looked a bit strange instead of blue but quickly changed back to the blue one. The second problem was that after logging in I only have a black screen (with some windows on top). This is because plasmashell isn't running (the only thing that runs is startplasma-x11) so I started it with kstart5 plasmashell. However, it crashes right after it seems to have fully loaded (with the desktop and the task bar showing). How to solve this? The full output is:

The solution was to remove (or move) the /home/username/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar/ folder (e.g. by running dolphin ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/) and to create a bug report (which I'll do soon). It can then be started with kstart5 plasmashell.

  • This occurred on of my Debian 10 machines but not another with almost the same setup so I suspect it was caused by the upgrade breaking before completing (I ran full-upgrade right away on the machine on which this worked...even though now the audio isn't working there anymore unlike with the machine upgraded first and asked about).

  • Late but the bug report is here. Commented Sep 2, 2022 at 10:00
