[Bug 1523070] Re: Plasma session does not start after upgrade to Kubuntu 15.04
Today, I couldn't manage to log in at all, also not with the Ctrl-Alt-F1 startkde workaround, I tried a view things, an older kernel that was installed, but that didn't help. What finally worked was to use the "(upstart)" version of the current linux kernel available via grub. This produced the lightdm login and then I could do the Ctrl-Alt-F1 startkde workaround. From there, I upgraded to 15.10. Now I'm back to the original problem. lightdm login comes up, logging in doesn't work, the Ctrl-Alt-F1 startkde workaround works. ** Summary changed: - Plasma session does not start after upgrade to Kubuntu 15.04 + Plasma session does not start after upgrading Kubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1523070 Title: Plasma session does not start after upgrading Kubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-desktop/+bug/1523070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After the reboot I see the new login screen (sddm, used to be lightdm before the upgrade). I can enter my password but then nothing visibly changes. The screen still shows the login screen, but nothing can be clicked. On some occasions there is one change: the mouse cursor changes to an X. I can go to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login ok. I have removed some old user configurations: mv ~/.kde dot.kde.old mv ~/.config dot.config.old rm -rf ~/.cache then rebooted and tried again, but the result is the same I have switched back to lightdm: dpkg-reconfigure lightdm then service sddm stop service lightdm start but the behaviour in lightdm is basically the same. I can enter the password then only the lightdm background is visible anymore and nothing furhter happens What I see now is that after sddm or lightdm are in this post-password-nothing-happens-anymore state, I can go to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and do: export DISPLAY=:0 xlogo back to Ctrl-Alt-F7 and the logo shows ok. - In fact, it seems I can even do + In fact, it seems I can even do startkde and the session comes up ok and now everything appers to be running fine.
