[SOLVED]problems after debian update

#1 Post by jupiter »

hello,
I updated Debian to buster, but now I'm getting some problems with plasma.

Sometimes while I use it, the bottom panel disappears or my current window automatically enters full-screen mode, after 2 or 3 seconds everything gets back to normal.
Other times when the panel disappears it doesn't appear in some seconds and, If I try to move the window, everything is black behind it. After I can just switch to CLI and reboot the system.
I also noticed that after I log in and the desktop is loaded the wallpaper turns black for 1 or 2 seconds.
It also crashes when I try to remove widgets from the desktop or from the panel, the panel disappears and appears again and sooner or later it crashes completely.
Moreover when I try to remove the panel it disappears and appears again. I can't remove it.

plasmashell 5.14.5

any idea?
How can I debug plasma?
Thanks

How did you upgrade it? What does your /etc/apt/sources.list say? Output from logs?

No one can help you with this little info.

I executed

Code: Select all

apt-get dist-upgrade
about logs:
when the panel disappears and appears again It doesn't log anything strange.
But when everything behind windows gets black it logs:

A two stage upgrade is recommended to avoid risking deleting packages you need.

Try reading this and see if you get any progress:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ ... ng.en.html

If not, I'd back up my important files and reinstall.

seems that libQt5Core.so.5.12.5 is a testing package, I don't know why it was there, I solved upgrading to bullseyes
