Description Rodney Gedda 2008-06-03 15:52:05 UTC

Version:           4.1 beta 1 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I know similar reports have been filed, but this is quite new with KDE 4.1 beta 1. I reported it downstream to Kubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/236993

but reporting here also as KDE devs may find it useful. Here's the report...

Running Kubuntu Hardy.

Just upgraded to the new KDE 4.1 beta 1 packages and now I can't get a KDE 4.x desktop as plasma crashes right after login. I can log in but there's no kickoff, applets, etc, just a black screen with a mouse cursor. Can only launch apps with krunner.

Here's the backtrace....

Hope this helps. Will definitely need to resolve before these much anticipated packages are announced to Kubuntu users.

I renamed (moved) the old file to old.plasma-appletsrc and it worked. I now have a sexy new KDE 4.1 beta 1 desktop. Here's the old plasma-appletsrc:
