Re: Plasma starting crashing on launch

In the last 24 hours something happened to my 8.10 system running kde
4.2.1. Whenever I login I get an error that plasma has crashed. All I see
is a blank desktop. I can run apps from krunner, but no panels, cashews,
plasmoids or right-clicking.

Backtrace shows nothing. Replacing ~/.kde doesn't help. Logging in as a
different user doesn't help

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it due to a rogue package upgrade?

Any thoughts on fixing other than reinstalling 8.10?
Hi

I reported this problem on the list, but up to now, I do not have _the_
solution.

What I do is press alt-F2 and enter konsole. At the konsole I type plasma and
I get access to my desktop.

I hope that soon this will be resolved.

bye/Alain
