T0ken Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have my system setup for automatic login. This just started happening today, and I don't know why. When the system boots and gets to the part where it's supposed to show the desktop, I get an error and a black background, with a few programs that just pop up (FF, Skype). Last night, I was having no problem so I don't know what could've caused this. The error says: "A Fatal Error Occured The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). Please help us improve the software you use by filing a report..." What can I do to get my desktop back? and to figure out what actually happened? I use KDE4.1. For some reason, I can boot into KDE3.5 without a problem though.

jkerr82508 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 It's possible that the config files have been corrupted somehow. Try this: delete ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmarc and ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc. If this works, then, when you log in to kde4 you will be presented with a default kde4 "desktop".

T0ken Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hey, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that did not work :(. I still get the same error when I boot up. Thanks for your help though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Some broken widgets trying to load, I guess. Did you run any update recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
