Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

After the Kubuntu 10.04 OS Splash Screen, KDE does not start and I see a terminal screen come up asking for my username + password.  I tried 'sudo plasma-desktop' but it came up with

'symbol lookup error: usr/bin/libQtGui.so.4: undefined symbol: ZNZ4QAbstractDeclarativeData9destroyedE'

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Turn on computer?

Actual Results:  
Terminal screen comes up

Expected Results:  
KDM should load

Kubuntu 10.04 x86_64

Please try:

"kdm start" (as real root) instead of "sudo plasma-desktop".

If it does not work please post /var/log/Xorg.0.log. May it is a problem in Xorg ...

A missing symbol always indicates a problem with your package versions. Please make sure you are installing KDE and Qt from the same repositories.

Additionally, if you are using self-compiled Qt packages, make sure all KDE components are compiled against these. A common error is keeping distribution packages installed while also installing self-compiled versions.

Sorry, I should have said this before bu this was after installing updating after adding the Kubuntu Beta Backports PPA ( iwanted to check out KDE 4.5).  Is there any way I can restore it?

'kdm start' does not work, nothing happens.

This seems to have been fixed in the new update from the PPA
