Out of nowhere (I don’t know, maybe I did touch something and didn’t realize) my KDE Plasma desktop doesn’t boot up properly. After logging using emptty, the usual KDE loading screen appears and then a black screen shows out, the cursor is also visible, but nothing else.
I move my cursor to the top-left corner and the program to create a new desktop works. I create a new desktop but so is a black screen. I can change to a tty using Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then go back to plasma using Ctrl+Alt+F7.
Have somebody had the same issue before?
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X
- GPU AMD RX 7600
- Distro: Void Linux
- Linux Kernel: 6.18
I can’t remember the version of emptty nor KDE Plasma, Im not with my PC right now, I do the post to know some quick fixes to try once I get home.
Thank you for your attention.


if you press “Alt+F2” a popup should appear with a text field where you can type in a command like “terminal”
