The workaround mentioned in the linked KDE bug does not work, even after removing ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, plasma still crashes.
This is due to the global plasma-appletsrc file /usr/share/kubuntu- default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, from the kubuntu-default-setting package. It contains a number of geometry settings that aren't suitable for this display, resulting in a crash. Workaround is to remove all 'geometry=' lines from /usr/share/kubuntu- default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, and ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc if present. -- [jaunty] plasma crashes on start with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338205 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
