plasmashell crash after chrome update

A recent Chrome update interferes with the fontconfig. The font cache needs to be regenerated before plasmashell starts.

So, from here:

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service.d

cat > ~/.config/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service.d/fontcache.conf << 'EOF' [Service]
 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/fc-cache -f
 EOF

systemctl --user daemon-reload
 sudo reboot

Did it work?

systemctl --user status plasma-plasmashell | head -10

You should see:

Process: ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/fc-cache -f (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Active: active (running)
