            Bug ID: 347540
           Summary: Cannot start Konsole in Kubuntu 15.04
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: amigabill at gmail.com

I just updated from Kubuntu 14.something to 15.04. I cannot run Konsole. When I
click the Konsole selection from the KDE applications menu to start it, I get
an error dialog window saying this:

KDEinit could not launch 'ksystraycmd': 
Could not open library '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_ksystraycmd'.
Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_ksystraycmd:
(/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_ksystraycmd.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory.


This is from my VirtualBox 4.3.26 virtual machine, which I've been runnign for
quite some time, and had no problems in Kubuntu 14.xx. After updating to 15.04,
I had a lot of GUI problems, windows were invisible and it was quite useless.
After some fumbling around, kwin had enough of a problem that it seems to have
stopped, and I was able to see enough to rarely get a workable xterm window,
and get some OS updates, and now it's better, but still Konsole is dead.

I should still have a copy of my Kubuntu 14.xx virtual disk, and I may switch
back to that if this is not corrected extremely soon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot Kubuntu 15.04
2.Try to run Konsole
3.See error message about ksystraycmd

Actual Results:  
No Konsole window appears. Error dialog window appears instead. Konsole just
doesn't work at all.

Expected Results:  
Give me a Konsole window

Virtual Machine in VirtualBox 4.3.26
Updated from Kubuntu 14.xx to 15.04, with latest updates as of 10/May/2015
I did recompile VirtualBox Additions/drivers on 10/May/2015 with latest kernel
headers
No additional Kubuntu updates available for software I have installed
I uninstalled Konsole and re-installed it, same problem
