Description Lane Wiscombe 2015-01-05 22:06:01 UTC

On boot half the time plasma shell starts in the process but fails to load.. Issuing a "killall plasmashell" and a "plasmashell &" fixes the issue temporarily..

My .xession-errors:

I maintainer this repo of arch plasma packages for manjaro linux, so you can check version numbers of install kf5 packages:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/arch-repos/files/kde5-apps/x86_64/

Test iso having the issue:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/manjarotest/files/0.9.0/kf5-plasma-dev/

This issue is happening across many users, linux kernel and graphics driver versions.

I will provide any addition information on request asap.

Thank you for the best D.E on linux..

Thanks for reporting ; and especially for providing daily packages.
I see the git hash 61dfcac next to plasma-workspace

We had a very similar sounding bug which was fixed in a commit (8de060418e2c13057a443eb0aa997844466330b9) which is newer than the one you have there.

I *hope* it's a duplicate of that.
