From yesterday it seems that plasma is playfully crashing... probably this is a dup of bug #163477
no, this was almost certainly stale applets laying around. note how the reporter had to remove the appletsrc first.
@Aaron: Perhaps a misunderstanding, but the lack of appletsrc triggers this. I removed it at forehand to be sure I got a clean default Plasma. I've found out a few more things. What I forgot to mention is that the bug only seems to appear when I've got an external screen connected to my laptop. Now I'm running -r818553 and the bug occurs when the screen is attached, but Plasma runs perfectly on the laptop screen. The resolutions of both screens are not the same (1280x800 and 1280x1024). @FiNex: So this might be related to that bug after all?
ah, this was with a blank config. hm. can you try with toay's kdebase/workspace and see if it works any better?
Just updated and recompiled. It doesn't crash on startup anymore, so that seems to be fixed. Though it is extremely slow and plasma's screen space is messed up. I'm seeing a normal plasma and windows above (1280x800) but the remaining 400px underneath the plasma panel are unpainted (checkerboard). Plasma is definitely confused with the resolution of the primary screen. Need to make another ticket for this.

I've just re-build kde, now plasma starts again, the startup is a bit slow, about one minute, but after it seems ok.
"the startup is a bit slow, about one minute, " that's more than a bit slow. how fast is your computer? and how many systray icons do you have showing?
I've used a clean user account, maybe KDE need to create some config files? I'm on a P4@2.6 Ghz with 1Gb RAM.
I reinstalled KDE SVN today, and i'm having the same problem. When i delete plasmarc and plasma-appletsrc, plasma crashes on startup, but when i put these files again on the right place, the problem stops. I've tried to create empty files, but the problem continues the same way when i delete them.
Confirmed, I've just tried with a clean user account, plasma doesn't start too.
I have the same problem, with a fresh checkout...

I`ll attach the patch to my next comment, so you can see how i "prevented" the crash... HTH Jan
Created attachment 25273 [details] patch to disable the folderview default in plasma, prevents the crash for me patch to disable the folderview default in plasma, prevents the crash for me
By the way, my folder viewer isn't working :) It is just showing a black square with no configuration options and in "Add Widgets" i don't have the option to add a folder viewer.
SVN commit 819806 by aseigo: folderview moved to another module, making it possible to end up with an install that doesn't have it, but the code relying on its existence wasn't modified. let's fix that =) BUG:163531 M +7 -5 desktopcorona.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=819806
Thanks for the quick fix :) And yes, i ended up with an install that doesnt had the applet... But that was my stupid fault, i just forgot to include the new plasma stuff my kdebase-apps pkg :)
