I broke my kde - help needed

Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:57 pm
Since attempting to install a script to run at startup my kde doesn't work anymore.

From a cold boot I go straight into the kde startup screen then the regular kde desktop. After that, any icon clicked, is imediataly minimised and thats way it stays.

I think (from memory) this is a result of puting a script file in ./kde/autostart/ but since I can't access it I can't be sure.

How about moving your current $HOME/.kde/ elsewhere so you can start again?

You can also remove your script from autostart in a command line since you can do all file related actions in tty1


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Thank you for the advice.
CTRL+AALT+F8 took me to tty
ls -a to find hidden files
then rm do delete the file I added.
Back to normal!
