plasma desktop broken again :(

2015-10-28 Thread Gary Dale
The latest round of Debian/Stretch updates proved to be a disaster. Sddm has stopped working as has the plasma-desktop when I used lightdm instead. Sddm never brings up a login panel (or anything else) while plasma-desktop doesn't get past bringing up the initial progress panel (showing no prog

I understand, thought of that solution on a previous crash and installed xfce. I could go to xfce by selecting it in kdm, but now not even kdm works, I think that I will have to install lightdm again. sddm was touted as a great improvement, it does work on one of my computers, but on this one it

The solution is to downgrade libqt5x11extras5 to libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2+b1_amd64 (or 385 if your system is 32bit). You should find libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2+b1_amd64.deb in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory if you haven't run "apt-get clean" recently. Mine was dated Aug 9. Use "dpkg -i lib
