I am experiencing exactly the same symptoms on a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10.
Additionally after I execute kppp and connect, the plasma error doesn't appear for about 30-45 seconds, during that time I am unable to open the command launcher with alt+f2 -- kppp plasma error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdenetwork in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
