Update: Bug fixed in Plasma 6.3.1
Just posting this since I spent over an hour trying to figure out why I couldn’t open my desktop today… After booting and logging in I got a black screen. Switched to a terminal but did not see any obvious errors in the logs.
Not fixed for Fedora 41 KDE yet, so I installed plasma-workspace-x11 to use in the meanwhile. Anyone who hasn’t updated to 6.3 yet could probably change their display settings to not use ICC profiles to avoid it.___
Dann, so that was the issue. I spent 2h trying around with different packages I suspected to cause an error during start. Then I desperately moved my
.configdir out of the way to rule out an incompatible config and lo and behold… it worked. I then moved it back and tried to delete configs more finegranular. After a few iterations without success I just removed almost all kde and plasma related configs and reconfigured everything from scratch. I should have scrolled through my feed earlier 😁It was surprisingly difficult to find, the majority of comments about 6.3 were people saying it was working great, but I guess most people don’t use ICC profiles for their monitors.
