Description Leslie Zhai 2016-11-25 05:41:36 UTC 
when m_activityController->serviceStatus() != KActivities::Controller::Running kactivities is *NOT* running, then default shell plugin can *NOT* be loaded, the total DesktopView and PanelView is blank!

PS: /usr/bin/plasmashell --help segfault!

workaround just comment the check for kactivities's serviceStatus.
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2016-11-27 20:31:15 UTC 
Kactivities was made mandatory in the last release. 

Partly to resolve a bug that KActivities has two different enum statuses for loading, but not differentiating status between loading and failed to load.

Why is it not running? A Netrunner thing?
