Solved reinstalled KDE5, many issues to follow

Edit: Following a package update that causes even more issues.. I have opted to reinstall, and never switch from quarterly again. This seems to have fixed it

I am on freebsd 12.1 x64, running the latest branch for ports.

I had uninstalled KDE to try out MATE, after I was done I reinstalled KDE using the metaport, however it is acting quite weird.

Things that worked before just crash now such as konversation, balloo, discover, various system settingss.

I am not getting any errors in dmesg about it besides from balloo ...
Code: 
Failed to fully fault in a core file segment at VA 0x805a00000 with size 0x4000000000 to be written at offset 0x35fc000 for process baloo_file
pid 42399 (baloo_file), jid 0, uid 1002: exited on signal 5 (core dumped)

I also noticed a few things were missing and needed to be manually installed.. dolphin, okular, various other widgets. SO maybe some base component is missing that is causing the issue/. when I try to install the collection of kde packages again it insists I am missing nothing. I also tried kde-baseapps, with how out of date the other DE's are this is pretty disheartening..


Edit: Dolphin is no longer launching now and fonts seem to be screwed up. Also cannot get any hotkey shortcuts to work anymore..

Did you install package or from ports? If you installed from ports, did you use so-called portmaster, or poudriere, or make install?
 
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p7 amd64
After update from packages (latest - 2020-Jul-09 14:03) KDE is unusable.
 
I believe I have found the source of the issue...
$ dolphin
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5Core.so.5: version Qt_5.15 required by /usr/local/lib/libKF5FileMetaData.so.3 not found
[tuder@vagrant-se /usr/home/loved]$ ^C

I may need to make a seperare thread for this.
 
I had all those as well. I upgraded to 11.4-RELEASE , then I deleted all packages and tried installing from scratch by using the the default quarterly pkg repo. (but also specifying the eu mirror : url: "pkg+http://pkg.eu.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly" , because the default was far too slow, btw I thought it would autoresolve to the eu mirror ?). Then I found out that there was no firefox pkg. Great. So I switched to the latest. After that lots of qt incompatibilities. So I scrap everything and try quarterly again. This seemed to do the trick. However the system still has issues :
a) I cannot lock the screen, if I do that the bottom plasma panels get lost.
b) I cannot switch to console by ctrl-alt-F1 and then then return, If I do this again the panels get lost.

btw, by the time I did all that, I noticed firefox back in quarterly, so I settled there. Still as I said not ideal . Anyone experience those?
now running with :
plasma5-plasma-5.19.2
kde5-5.19.2.20.04.2
qt5-core-5.14.2_3
 
I do not have these issues. Turns out that this 2020/Q3 upgrade was somewhat sub-optimal... General guideline should be to wait 2-3 weeks before applying the quarterly package upgrades.

from time to time happen the same to me, then I run

pkg update -f
pkg upgrade

and done
edit: maybe when you install MATE install some newest libraries, and upgrade some existing ones

I should probably just mark this thread solved since I no longer use KDE anyways. Fed up with these random breakages
