plasma crash after upgrade to KDE(mod) 4.3 RC3

zoraks · 2009-07-28 15:35:32

So that's all.

Everything was fine yesterday (except the wifi, but that's normal), I upgraded the system to the latest kdemod packages and today when I started my laptop plasma crashed.
I tried to restart the process and I also used the plasma Nutcracker to be sure that isn't a configuration error.

Anyone knows what could be? Is a packaging error or is just me? Any solution?

Here's the log file found in /myhomedirectory/plasmabug I only attach the one I think it's important, If you want any of the other files just ask

Have you tried removing plasmoids one-by-one, to see if one of them is crashing it? I had the same problem, with a slightly different error message, and removing the NetworkManager plasmoid made things work happily.

Hi, thanks for reply

Yes it was like you said, I removed the network plasmoid and by now everything is fine and working.
I also found that executing plasma-desktop with sudo makes plasma work so I figure that maybe is some problem with permissions, Is posible?

Anyway thanks both of you, no more sudo plasma-desktop at start! :-)

No problem, feel free to ask us anyway.

The NetworkManager plasmoid on the Kubuntu PPAs works fine, so I'm not sure what's up here (maybe a different revision - I haven't checked), but as far as I know, it's still experimental at the moment. I don't have time to check into this, but this should probably be added to whichever bugtracker would be most relevant. Anyone?

I don't know why that would make it work, but running your desktop shell as root is probably not a good idea
