Description Jonas Thorell 2009-12-06 23:21:11 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Using SC4.4 beta 1 (4.3.81 more accurately) I have my desktop set up as I want it to be (using the same plasmarc files as in 4.3). Once logged in, everything works as expected.

However, when I try to login I always get a "Plasma netbook closed unexpectedly" dialog even though I haven't even tried using the netbook mode. If I dismiss the dialog, I eventually get to my desktop although the login procedure takes longer than it should.

Seems strange the login-procedure is trying to launch the plasma-netbook binary when all of my activities are set up to use the regular plasma-desktop shell.

- What are your settings at SystemSettings/Desktop/Workspace ?
Thanks

I second what Jonas Thorell said, including comment #2. Also, while I was testing some widgets in my desktop, I added some widgets that seem to be plasma-netbook specific. They did not work, so I removed them immediately. In the following logins I get this bug.

Found culprit at ~/.config/autostart/plasma-netbook.desktop

Comment 5 Dario Andres 2009-12-18 12:58:33 UTC

Oh, it seems to be true: I also found in the Autostart KCM, two entries:
plasma-desktop Enabled Startup
plasma-netbook Enabled Startup

And that causes the "double Plasma" bug for me

I guess this is a bug in the "Workspace" KCM (the one where you can choose which kind of Plasma to use). It is not deleting the netbook entry from the autostart dir.

I'm going to merge this with bug 217698, which has some other explanations.
Regards
