Description:
After last update of KDE kwin failed to start causing window decorations (title, border) not to appear. I have tried to start kwin --replace and it failed to start with error that libwayland-client.so.0 is too short. This file was a link to another file in the same directory libwayland-client.so.0.1.0 which was 0 bytes in size. How I solved it: I found that there is a file called libwayland-client.so.0 in a package called wayland, so I tried to install it using pacman -S. Pacman said that package was up to date and I proceeded to reinstalling it. It failed with a message that some files already existed in the system. Having checked that those files did not belong to any package according to pacman I proceeded to reinstalling with --force option. After reinstalling kwin --replace launched successfully and after reboot everything worked fine. Hope this helps and please do let me know in case I have screwed some part of my system by forcing this reinstall :) Cheers. |
