So I did the regular updates on my #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.4 laptop and now after login into KDE/Plasma, things are crashing around and I am left with a black screen and a white mouse pointer.

Search engines are screwed these days, yet after using several of them, I found this on Reddit:

Login in text console (Ctrl+Alt+Fsomething), then:

fc-cache -r
systemctl --user reset-failed plasma-plasmashell.service
sudo reboot

This is how the Internet used to work. Diagnose error as good as you can, ask search engine, find someone with the same problem + a solution. Good.
