I use Kubuntu. I noticed something weird. KDE Plasma that happened to install updates but when I started the system I got some black and white effects, missing menu items, etc.

I made this YouTube video to show what I mean.

Everything is working okay (effects of icons, maximize etc), but I don't have a Desktop, and I can't right click on desktop.

I tried

  • reinstalling whole kde plasma (that includes kubuntu +kde plasma, I using this setup on recovery)
  • tried to uninstall fully complete and checked the files is here or no.
  • tried to modify the kscreen (a folder including the conf)

plasmashell failed to start. Error :

this is not an answer (yet), so I make it a community wiki.

a few things, which probably don't fix your problem, but should be noted:

  • use kstart plasmashell instead of just plasmashell [1]
  • stop all other plasmashell processes using killall plasmashell before starting it again [1]
  • I can see the line [1]+ Stopped plasmashell at the end of your log. it means you've ”stopped“ (!) plasmashell (by pressing Ctrl+Z) instead of TERMinating it. if you start plasmashell without kstart, use Ctrl+C to terminate it.

In short: when problems with the plasma shell occurr, try if restarting it [1] helps.
