Bug ID: 450568 Summary: Plasma 5.24 backport causing blank black screen Product: kinfocenter Version: 5.24.0 Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: About this System Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: itt...@hotmail.com CC: sit...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** upgraded to Kunbuntu 21.10, was running good for over a month, within the last couple days (possibly after an update in Discovery) the bottom desktop Panel disappeared, even after reboot. I was able to add a new one and set it up close to what I had. Next time I start up, it is missing again. I couldn't find any info on this searching. I did find info on upgrading Plasma to 5.24 through backports, I'm not sure what this is, but I installed it hoping it would help. * Rebooted and now my screen is blank/black with only the mouse pointer. * I got to this somehow by I believe Alt-tab opening up a process list, menu for tools, opened up Info (on system), nothing showed up, but I could click Report a Bug that opened a browser to enter this. I'm not sure how anyone can help as I don't have access to do anything on my computer which is a Dell tower, using HDMI output. I can get to Konsole. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install Plasma 5.24 backports 2. reboot 3. OBSERVED RESULT - blank black screen with mouse pointer, no clicking or right clicking do anything. EXPECTED RESULT - expected to get Panel back SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 * can't acces anything to get System Info * (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24 KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
