Public bug reported:
Hi,
I've upgraded some packages 2 days ago, mainly dbus related I think, and
suddenly I cannot log into my KDE desktop anymore.
When logging in I can see the message "Could not start d-bus. Can you call
qdbus?".
So after Googling I found the Solution to that bug
"https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1304805";
I did what comment #12 says: qdbus=QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus
However I still cannot log in, now I get the following error for my
user , also an XWindow :
"Could not start ksmserver, check your installation"
On my system I have two users, my main one: CkDev, and another one
corck. When I log in as ckDev I get the following errors above, however
when I log in with my user "corck" everything works fine. I've even
created a new user "guest" and logged in with it and it works fine as
well.
So next step I took, I removed ~/.kde and ~/.config and tried to log in,
same error.
On another thread I read about killing "lightdm" and logging in using
startx, so I switched to terminal mode, and stopped lightdm and executed
"startx". Then my user ckDev is logging in straight away and I have my
Desktop again, with some bugs like my webcam is not working anymore.
So I don't really know whats happening, but after I can log in with
"corck" and "guest" I feels like these users are not using
/usr/bin/startkde but another script, otherwise the Bug #1304805 should
have affected them as well.
I'm on Kubuntu Trusty.
