So let me start with some context:

Earlier today I was switching off an LTS release of nodejs to the normal package.. So I had to rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules.. That's my first suspicion.. Then I just did a normal system update, nothing special. But I noticed a lot of issues; Certain apps won't run, my wallpapers are gone, SDDM theme is gone, etc. Certain buttons in the KDE bottom menu don't work, such as shut down.. I have no idea how my installation got so broken. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

#

yeah I just have no idea how this got so bad

you wouldn’t have happened to put a space after one of those slashes would you

pretty sure no

#

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules

#

this is exactly what i ran based on what i found in history

#

im pretty sure there was a breaking update somewhere

#

anything in KDE based on npm...?

#

or node sorry

nothing I know, but you can switch node versions using nvm without breaking stuff, so next time use that 🙂
