Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important
My previous release is: buster (fully updated)
I am upgrading to: bullseye
Archive date: Fri Apr 23 14:17:55 UTC 2021
Upgrade date: Fri Apr 23 16:00:00 UTC 2021
uname -a before upgrade: Linux hostname 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP
Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
uname -a after upgrade: Linux hostname 5.10.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP
Debian 5.10.28-1 (2021-04-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Method: apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs && apt full-upgrade
I have now upgraded three different machines from (fully updated)
Buster to Bullseye, and all three times KDE Plasma was not usable
afterwards.
Symptoms:
- No panels are shown and instead of the desktop/background the
screen is black.
- Right-click on the desktop works, but the settings do not allow
me to set a background image.
- Pressing the super key opens the launcher menu, next to where
the panel should be shown.
- Alt+Tab works, kwin is running normally
- krunner was unusable on two of the machines, but worked on the
third.
I think the same problems was described by a reddit user here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/li4vvc/debian_bullseye_has_entered_softfreeze/gnbp9up/?context=3
WORKAROUND:
The problem goes away after reinstalling everything that is
installed and has "plasma" in the name, but unfortunately I cannot
say which of those package reinstalls is actually doing the trick:
sudo apt install --reinstall kdeplasma-addons-data
libkf5plasma5:amd64 libkf5plasmaquick5:amd64
libplasma-geolocation-interface5 libreoffice-plasma
plasma-dataengines-addons:amd64 plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-data
plasma-disks plasma-framework plasma-integration plasma-nm
plasma-pa plasma-runners-addons:amd64
plasma-wallpapers-addons:amd64 plasma-widgets-addons
plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-data
After this and logging out and back in, all of KDE Plasma works as
normal.

Hi Malvin,
> So if nobody besides me reports this, maybe this bug should just be closed?
Since we didn't get any similar report, let us close this report for
now. If we get more of the same or you can reproduce it, please feel
free to reopen.
Thanks and all the best
Norbert
