Global Env Files and journald Log
SUMMARY
Describing this issue is a bit strange, since it's just severe enough to be a
pain but not severe enough that it isn't usable?
I have "control" of my desktop but only thanks to Yakuake auto-starting, but
what happens here is this:
the (icons-only) task manager and the "desktop" (where you'd see wallpapers and
application icons) are completely missing. (It doesn't even load my wallpaper;
there's nothing to interact with at all if you don't have a terminal that
auto-launches on login.)
The only semblance of whatever is going on here is some vague failures in
journald that I don't understand at all.
This only started the other day.... I want to say roughly around June 30th(?
Can't quite remember) after an update.
I've no clue what's going on nor how to fix it - rebooting doesn't help and my
filesystem checked out as clean/non-corrupt. :/
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Plasma via SDDM
OBSERVED RESULT
The Plasma shell doesn't load correctly
EXPECTED RESULT
The Plasma shell should load as normal
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux : Arch Linux
Kernel: Linux 5.17.9-258-tkg-pds-llvm (
https://github.com/frogging-family/linux-tkg )
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti
GPU Driver Version: 515.48.07 (Proprietary)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Moving my entire user config folder to a temporary location does not seem to
fix the issue, so something deeper is going on, somehow. :/
I'm including the mentioned journald log and files that set environment
variables, though nothing I've done seems to make any difference in solving (or
cause) the issue. :/
I did additionally (originally) use an x86-64-v3 repo for this, but I did
downgrade from that repo to the official Arch repos and this made no difference
- the issue persisted. :/
And to clarify, I only have one display connected.
