I would like to be able to terminate and then reload KDE from a tty ever so often before I get hangups which I'm in now. Using all the typical cmds like:
kwin_x11 --replace &
plasmashell -- replace &
kstart5 plasmashell
kstart plasmashell
kquitapp5 plasmashell
The "start plasmashell" cmds gives me:
Find the Command: Start is not found locally
Find the Command: /cache/pgkfile/*
Irrelevant. Gives me options to install packages not related to KDE the other.
The top 2 cmds above with the "&" lead to the real issue and is as follows: This is not the original as its my second hand notes from my other machine:
Qt. Qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This app failed to start because no QT platform plugin could be initialized.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins: *list of common plugins including xcb*
One of the links to a similar problem had this resolved by installing the libQt5DBus.so.5 lib for xcb. Getting into the weeds with all that in a tty not knowing what I'm doing seems like a bad idea. I did an update but didn't restart yet when KDE needed to be terminated.
Resources I've read fully and tried:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=266891
I would post inxi output but I don't have a way to do that when my graphical session is frozen; unable to paste it to something so I just picked some key info like kernel version. I couldn't Pgup the inxi output to see the KDE version unfortunately. I have my HW inxi on here.
