So i updated my system yesterday with "sudo pacman -Syyu"
The update went fine without any error messages...
Afterward, when I tried to open Dolphine file manager, no files or directories were showing and I got this error message - could not find /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so
I did a quick google search and ran this command "dbus-launch dolphin" and that fixed the issue..
I was wondering why that error occurred...
Did I mess up something by doing Syyu? if so, then how can I fix it?
P.S: I might seem a bit paranoid and that's because a few days ago I visited a torrent site, and it was scammy as hell.. I quickly got out, but wondering if some virus infected or something.
When I was having fun skying, the saying went, âwhen in doubt whip it outâ though that was usually an indication of a main 'chute failure and and impending reserve 'chute ride. (There were also not so nice ones.)
But itâs as appropriate as following @daltoâs suggestion. A reboot fixes a myriad of suspected âproblemsâ in Linux (just like Win), and is usually one of the first tools in a troubleshooterâs bag of tricks.
@daltoâs âsuggestionâ carries almost the same gravitas.
Just a note: Please use a single y (pacman -Syu). That updates by hash instead of downloading the entire database. It easier of the mirrors.
If I recall correctly: Shared object files (.so) and Dolphin can be funny. If the so file changes, Dolphin can look for a particular function it's been using and not find it. Restarting Dolphin (as you did with dbus-launch dolphin) forces Dolphin to re-locate the functions within.
Yes a reboot will resolve the issue. Same here yesterday. While youâre at it check your Dolphin settings. A lot of mine were reset to the default and I had to revert them to what I like. Piece of advice in the future you should post the entire error message instead of just part of it.
