I recently cloned the git repo for plasma 5.25 to test it out. I've been using KDE for years on FreeBSD (since the KDE4) days. I'm running FreeBSD 13.1 stable on an AMD64 computer and I use poudriere to build the apps using x11/plasma5-plasma.
The issue is, when I try and start plasma from SDDM or even by using startx from an .xinitrc file with 'exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11', it will show the splash screen, and then a blank screen with the mouse cursor, and then no further activity (no panel on the bottom, no menu to the left, no icons, nothing). I am able to ALT+F2 and open the run box at the top of the screen and issue the command 'plasmashell --replace', in which the desktop pops up with all of my icons and the panel at the bottom of the screen, the menu and everything works. At this point, I am unsure of what to look for next. There's also an issue with the logout from the menu or from ALT+F2 that crashes the plasma_shell with an abort trap, but that is a separate issue. I've tried clearing out the cache and configure files for Plasma from my user account, as well as creating a new user account. It does the same thing for the new user account as well. I'm using FreeBSD 13.1 stable stable/13-n251449-b8ab9651b1e All of the packages were created through poudriere, and were cloned from the plasma5.25 branch from freebsd-ports-kde repo. I'm using an AMD 4600g (renoir AMD APU) and am having no other issues with Xorg. Infact, when I do 'plasmashell --replace' everything runs just fine. I've saved my xorg-session logs created thru the SDDM folder, but I don't know what to look for, and I'm not seeing big differences between the 5.24 logs and the 5.25 logs. Thanks for all your help.
