From one day to the next, KDE suddenly stopped working. At first I'd get a black screen after resume. I rebooted, logged in and only got a black screen. After a bit of troubleshooting and not really finding anything I renamed my ~/.kde/ directory in order to have it reset and low and behold, KDE works again.
Now, I'm glad that it isn't anything serious but I'm not really thrilled either. I have changed a lot of settings over time to customize KDE to my needs and now I have to do it again. I'd much rather find out what caused the issue but unfortunately I couldn't find anything in the logs. Is there a way to find out what exactly is the problem so that I can apply a small fix and have everything as it used to be?
I don't recall changing anything in the settings and there have been no software updates in the past days that would warrant such a behavior. From my perspective this happened completely randomly.
Thanks
