Fatal error occurs at kde startup
Hi guys,
I previously had opensuse 11 with factory build kde (4.0). I also have compiz effects enabled. I decided to upgrade kde to 4.1.3. First of all, I disabled compiz and switched to kwin. Then I successfully updated kde and all dependencies too. At next reboot kde starts loading and finally give me an error as follows and leaves me with nothing but a blank screen. A fatal error occured The application plasma workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV) I am not able to post log here because my windows partitions are not writable. How can I change these permissions from failsafe root login? I am not familiar with any linux commands.. Can you guys please help me out? |
I put "plasma workspace" in google search and this is what I found.

Sorry I should have googled it first.
That article says navigate to: /home/username/.kde4/share/config Edit or remove the file plasma-appletsrc. This is the file that is responsible for the KDE variables like wallpaper and many other. what is the command to delete this file? |
Sorry also, was off-line for a bit.
As root: rm -f plasma-appletsrc |
If your user name is bill, you would navigate to /home/bill/.kde4/share/config. You probably know but I figured I would mention just in case.

i used this command as root
mv /home/akshay/.kde4 /home/akshay/kde4old and it worked as it restored all settings to default Thank you all !!! |
