KDE Plasma 5.8.1 -autologin issue - loosing KDE task bar and wallpaper

infoslaw · 2016-10-13 13:16:09

Hi
I'm just wondering have you guys similar issue after update to Plasma 5.8.1? With Auto Login enable I loosing task bar and new Plasma wallpaper come as default. Is it someone what you have as well?

I notice 2 things:

1. When I logoff and login on current Plasma session all back to normal as before (task bar and my favourite wallpaper)
2. When disable Auto Login in System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login screen (SDDM) > Breeze > tab Advanced > Auto Login off, then after pop up log in screen task bar and my favourite wallpaper appearing without issues

Auto login option is very handy for me and would like enjoy the same as before.
I really appreciate your help.

No need to reply to your own post multiple times, just edit the first post and add the updated info.

I can't reproduce that.

Have you tried with a clean system ie. with a new user ?

I notice that after re-login got error message perhaps related:

Application: kdeinit5 (kdeinit5), signal: Segmentation fault

I found more errors related in xorg-session.log

startkde: Starting up...
Cannot find 'org.kde.KSplash.setStage' in object /KSplash at org.kde.KSplash
Could not open korgac using a library: Cannot load library libkdeinit5_korgac: (libkdeinit5_korgac: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Have you tried to restart the plasmashell ?

Quit plasmashell:

kquitapp5 plasmashell

Start plasmashell

plasmashell

Do you get the panel ?
If you restart the plasmashell from the konsole do you get plasma related errors ?

OK so temporary resolved issue by adding in autostart plasmashell but of course this is only temporary solution and normally without any additional scripts it should work out of box after Plasma upgrade

kokoko3k · 2016-10-20 08:58:44

Faced that too, but it does not happen EVERY time, so i added the following in my autostart script:

pidof plasmashell || plasmashell &>/dev/null &

...and i'll forget it.
