Since mine is working, here is my file with a few irrelevant parts
removed.  For future reference, anyone posting this who doesn't want to
have everyone knowing where you live etc, filter this file.  I found
city name, state, zip code and such in this thing.  O_O

Either delete and logout/login again or figure out what line is
offending KDE so much.  This is the file:

plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

Which is located in /home//.config/ .  That is what fixed the
other persons problem.  Knowing what line does this would be nice.  You
lose pretty much all your settings it seems.

Check your "HW clock is on local or UTC time" settings ...

Thanks ! -- I'm now back in the questionable glories of KDE !

However, as someone else discovered, the L-click menu doesn't work now.
I didn't follow that thread in detail : did anyone solve the problem ?

I've also had another KDE desktop problem for a long time.
The clock on the panel claims it's showing EST (N America),
but in fact deducts another  5 hr , so 06:32 EST shows as 01:32 EST.
Has anyone else seen this ?

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me since I use the GUI and xdm
service.  I think this might make sense to you tho.


>From the console

    To start Plasma with xinit/startx, append exec startplasma-x11 to
your .xinitrc file.

Does that help?

[gentoo-user] KDE Plasma problem

2019-12-28 Thread Philip Webb
I've just updated to KDE Plasma 5.17.4 & can't start KDE
because it can't find 'startkde', so I'm back with the elegance of Fluxbox.

Can anyone tell me where 'startkde' is now to be found
or what its replacement is ?
