Public bug reported:
Since my upgrade to kubuntu 20.04, I see my session being messed up completely
once per 2 days.
It is always similar, e.g. after a regular logout-login all desktop settings
are gone, and I am presented with a native view (attachment follows). my
settings are gone, except the icons are up. Background is gone, too. And, my
session usually being 'Desktop', it comes back as 'Folder view'.
Also, no way to logout, shutdown, reboot. Only a hard reset is possible with
the power switch. All the logout applets (panel, desktop) do simply nothing.
Entering a konsole is possible, but anything typed in there starts krunner, and
shows consequently up in krunner. Clicking inside the konsole renders the entry
character black, but any keyboard input reverts back into krunner.
Yes, this is reproducible. Next time I'll take a video if desired, because it
sounds too crazy.
Just now was the fourth time of exactly the same within some 8 or 10 days.
Everything else works perfectly okay and with the expected speed. The panel is
always unharmed.
Something very rotten: even the power button on this machine doesn't pop up the
shutdown option; so I have to press some 10 seconds to cut the power for a hard
shutdown.
Clicking any of the shutdown options show the input (feedback), but nothing
happens.
