Hello People of KDE!
I have had some issues with KDE these past few hours.
I have had to end the plasma-desktop process due to making my computer laggy.
But when I ended the plasma-desktop process it was very fast again.
Also, I have never had this problem before.
And, when the plasma interface is on the task bar is a little shorter then the screen, and where that gap is, it is flashing.

For some reason, I could not click on any thing on the task bar. This was after moving some widget from underneath the taskbar named unnammec.
How can I go about fixing this?
I have tried rebooting and everything.
Specs:
1Gb ram
Kubuntu 10.4
1.6 GHZ Dual Core Intel Atom.

I had about 5 Dolphin windows open and about 4 terminal windows open along with Kate.

Does any one know a fix?
Thanks.

what version of KDE?

easiest fix would be to move the existing plasma config files and start fresh to see if something got corrupted

Code: Select all

 kquitapp plasma-desktop
 sleep 20s
 mkdir -p $HOME/plasma-config/
 mv $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/config/plasma-desktop* $HOME/plasma-config/
 plasma-desktop &

you could also remove just the panel by clicking the cashew removing it but this doesn't back it up

"plasma interface is on the task bar " - you mean the panel? if you shrink the panel so the gap is larger does the flashing become readable (or move the panel to the top)

But thats the thing.
I cannot interact with plasma at all.
Is there any alternative ways of setting it back to default settings?
UPDATE:
Thank you!
