I have the same problem: plasma will not start at all. I tried the above workaround, removing all mentions of geometry in /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config /plasma-appletsrc and from ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc as well. This did not help. I also tried removing ~/.kde/share/config/plasma- appletsrc alltogether but still no luck.
This indeed basically renders the (KDE) desktop useless so I consider this a very severe bug. ** Attachment added: "plasma.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23631309/plasma.log -- [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-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
