Ever since an interrupted restart (power was killed during shutting down process) I have not been able to cleanly login. Plasma desktop shell crashes immediately after login. When trying to start plasma-desktop manually from the terminal, I get the following:

Code: Select all

Which distribution and KDE version are you using?

can a different user login? if so you could try resetting your plasma desktop to defaults

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 &

Resetting your configuration is not necessary. This is corruption in KSharedDataCache.
Erase the directory /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/ outside KDE and you should be able to login again.

Hi, I found the solution to this bug , also noticed that a specific widget you are running is triggering the crash.

check my post for the solution and comment if this helped you.

[b]it is sockets related.

check the 2° comment I posted after it.
