[Bug 1435061] Re: KDE 5 is corrupted, after updating Kubuntu

 

I've seen the same symptoms on several of the updates during the vivid
development cycle.  I believe I've seen the problems while others
haven't because always I go in and change the default theme, colors,
positions, etc. and have multiple monitors.

My workaround has been to delete everything in ~/.cache and restart KDE.
That usually corrects the issue.  In worst cases, I've had to remove the
plasma* files out of ~/.config.

It might be a good idea if the future KDE packages cleared their files
out of .cache automagically.

I'm using systemd, so I'm doubtful the init system has anything to do
with the issues.

Title:
  KDE 5 is corrupted, after updating Kubuntu

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After updating all Kubuntu 15.04 package and restarting, KDE 5 is corrupted. After logging in, I see that the background is black, the default panel white background is only loaded (I can't see any buttons in it) and I can't run commands in Run Command (ALT+F2 opens it. Enter button does nothing. Clicking the button at the left of the textbox results closing Run Command).
  I booted with Upstart, because of a bug that prevents me from booting normally. My only way to use Kubuntu is through Fail Safe (After booting with Upstart). ubuntu-bug doesn't work well in Fail Safe, so this was the only way to report.
  systemd boot must be fixed, before the final release. This bug is very critical. The user must at laest be able to boot correctly.
