KDE Disappeared While Updating

[Nolli9]

So, I had installed KDE Plasma5 on FreeBSD 13 and had it for about a year or more.
Every time I had attempted to update from the desktop, nothing happened.
So, Last week, I decided to launched Konsole, change user to root, and update that way.
The update started to proceed then almost at the end I lost the desktop environment.
I rebooted and it boots without the desktop.
Dbus and Sddm are still enabled, why no desktop?
The clock is not correct too.

KDE >5.25 Is now using pam for passwords, and FBSD don't have support for that yet, so KDE upgrade has been delayed.

I almost had the same problem when pkg threatened to remove KDE and luckily I noticed and declined. SirDice suggested running "pkg upgrade" first and that fixed it.

Why does pkg want to remove KDE?

So I typed: sudo pkg install webkit2-gtk3 And I got: Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. The following 26 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked): Installed packages to be REMOVED: geany: 1.38 kde5...

I tried pkg upgrade and got this below...what's up with that?

Even running pkg update produces error...

Hi there, sorry- I'm something of a noob myself... hopefully someone out there can help you.

II have managed to upgrade the system; however, now after the boot completes, I get a blank, black screen.
I am looking for the instruction to add to the /etc/boot/bootloader.rc.config
