Summary: plasma crashes at start, so there is no desktop, no
menu, but I can still launch other apps via <Alt><F2>
Product: plasma
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
ReportedBy: jean.lienard gmail com
Version: 0.0.1 (using 4.0.2 (KDE 4.0.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler: gcc
OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22-14-generic
I don't really remember what caused this bug - I think I was configuring some things concerning the graphical aspect of the desktop...
Anyway, after logging in with gdm, there is only this little window from the KDE crash handler saying that plasma crashed with signal 11 - no desktop, no workspace... But I can still launch any other application with Alt+F2.
There is also a very important point : this bug continue even AFTER removing every single package (with configuration) of KDE 4, and re-installing kde4-core... But damned! KDE worked just totally fine before this bug and with exactly the same version of KDE 4 !...
I tried to launch xterm, kill plasma, and then tried to relaunch it from the command-line. I don't know if it is helpful, but here I go for what it said in the terminal before showing the same window from the KDE crash handler :
