[BUG] After an update the screen falshes black

[Kingproone]

So I use plasma 6, with yay as pacman wrapper and Konsole as terminal (endeavouros), and when it gets to the end, the whole screen turns black for like ~1 second (this happenned for 2 times already) then it comes back, but my panel gets killed too, which has to restart as well, it's as if at the end of the update it restarts my whole shell or at the very least crashes it for some reason. I don't know what logs I could provide.

[dhruv8sh]

Can you run yay -Syu and check if it happens again? If not, paste logs from plasmashell --replace. You can then run systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell to continue with your work. (Both of these will restart the shell).

This issue is a first and should not happen at all.

i will check again tomorrow with an update to see if the issue persists, yay -Syu runs just fine on the daily, as for the logs:

[dhruv8sh]

I am sorry, completely forgot to mention. Run plasmashell --replace and then perform and update through the applet.

[Kingproone]

So i tested it again after running plasmashell --replace, and 0.7.11 both installed from the command line and from the get new things dialog menu worked fine, and 0.8.5 works fine too, so I think this can be closed.

It must've been an issue with a singular package upgrade.
