HELP! - lost my whole KDE Plasma desktop but X-Windows is working
Used PCLinuxOS Config (Drakconfig) - under network services, went through the configure time wizard. I added a few of the ntp.org servers, and when I finished clicking thru the wizard, my entire desktop instantly disappeared. Cairo dock did not. I can start the few apps I have on cairo dock, and I can apps from command line (using brave now).... other than that, my entire KDE Plasma 'windows' desktop is dead. Reboot - nothing. I see Cairo dock - and any apps I start from there or from the terminal start up and run fine - video card and driver is not the problem - get wavy windows and full effects on the windows that are open.
Dual monitors work fine. Other desktops work fine (E19 that's the one I tried).
Problem still occurs if I log in as root. Also made a test user account - problem happens there too.
Went back into PCC under manage system services - turned off the ntp daemon (ntpd) -didn't help.
replaced the ntp.conf file in /etc with a default copy - didn't help.
Again - it's just the plasma desktop. Cairo dock appears where it was on the right hand bottom screen.
Not sure what the heck got misconfigured - wish I had left well enough alone!
Any ideas would be much appreciated on how I can restore my computer.
thanks
