Hello KDE community!
I'm having a problem to make Plasma Desktop fully run on Solus 
(https://solus-project.com). While I'm running the 'plasmashell' 
executable it does not give me any error, but also the desktop does not 
show up. I can enter to the Plasma session using LightDM, but after the 
splash animation I got a blank desktop with where only KRunner and KWin 
are working as expected.
All details I can give:
- I can run 'plasmawindowed' as a standalone program and as part of the 
KDEConnect Monitor in the MATE Desktop, but not 'plasmashell' (which 
also doesn't give me any output).
- The Solus package sources are stored in their Git instance 
(https://git.solus-project.com).
- My repository containing the Plasma Desktop package and the missing 
Framework needed to run it is stored in a GitHub repo 
(https://github.com/feddasch/top-secret).
- The abi_* files in both sources are useful if you want to check for 
the libraries that the package builder loads as dependencies.
- I have installed all the frameworks and Plasma components listed in 
both repositories.
