[Solvedish] KDE 4.10.4 - Plasma Desktop becomes unresponsive.

Anyone else having issues with the latest KDE?   On my 64bit machine, using a newer nvidia card, after I open an app, the entire desktop becomes unresponsive.   It also gives me an error about Knotify crashing.  I can't click the menu button, no right-click options appear, and nothing on the taskbar can be manipulated.   When in this state, I can still launch TF2 or Kerbal Space Program from Steam, but when I exit the game the desktop is still frozen, until I do a reboot. 
My 32-bit machine hasn't done any of this, running on an old nvidia card. 
I've tried deleting ~/.kde4, but even a default profile does this.  Anyone have any idea what I could try to do to diagnose or fix what is wrong?

Ok this is a werid one.  It did this all last night, and yet I just booted it, and it seems to be working fine.  I guess it just needed to rest while I was at work.  Problems like this are annoying.   
Why glitch out all night, but be fine after a cold boot?   Oh well, I guess it's working again.   lol

  • [SOLVED] Plasma Desktop segfaults after recent KDE update to ver. 4.6

    Today after upgrading some amount of packages, including the new KDE 4.6, my Plasma Desktop "segfaults" every single time I login into my account. I tried to send some information regarding this issue using KDE's internal reporting system, but unfortunately it tells me, that those information are irrelevant. Does anyone experience "segfaulting" of the Plasma Desktop after recent KDE upgrade? I'm looking for some help on how to solve this issue, as for the moment my Arch is dead...

    Actually, it is KDE that is giving you trouble, not the OS . When you reach the kdm login screen, don't login. Instead, switch to a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1, for example) and login from there. Then, you can see a list with all your plasmoids with
    plasmapkg -l
    If you find the culprit plasmoid, and it is a plasmoid downloaded outside Arch's repos (from kde-look.org, for example), remove it with
    plasmapkg -r plasmoid_name
    If the plasmoid is installed as a package, it is probably better to uninstall/upgrade it using pacman.

    Hi all,
    I have the same problem. I tried using tty, but I got  "cannot access to X server". Than I tried
    Alt+F2 to run Terminal, I used
    plasmapkg -l
    in order to see the list of all the plasmoids, but I couldn't find the "culprit" plasmoid. I don't know if I am doing it right. Here the list of my plasmapkg:
    [encho@x~]$ plasmapkg -l

  • Desktop icons unresponsive until logoff or reboot

    Hey everyone, I work in a public library and we have our public pc's locked down pretty good.  But we have been seeing little things come up over the past couple of years since we moved to Win7 Pro from XP that I am unfamiliar with and have not been
    able to find a resolution.  For this post I will only ask about one issue.  We use GPO's to control pretty much everything and we created new GPO's and upgraded/tweaked them for Win7.  We are redirecting the AppData(Roaming), Desktop,
    and Documents folders and I have verified the permissions repeatedly to no avail.  We went from mandatory profiles with XP to the 3 redirected folders in Win7 to try to speed up login times.  That has helped in almost all cases, but I feel that
    it has opened Pandora's box in others.  Such as this issue for one.
    What our staff and I have seen is that randomly on public access machines, in different locations, with different users, at different times, the icons on the desktop become unresponsive until you logoff or reboot.  We have standardized our pc's
    and have them on 3 year rotation with HP 6300's, 600's, and 800's and I use WDS to push down a standardized image.  So they are all running the same basic things.  Win7Pro, IE10, Office 2010, Adobe Reader, Flash, etc., but I again am sure that
    I have just not been asking the right question via Google to search of a proper response. 
    So does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Joe

    Hi LibraryITGuy,
    The main issue is all the desktop will be unresponsive and we cannot operate the machine or just the icons on it are unresponsive and we can still operate it ?
    Have you tried to restart the "Windows Explorer" process to have a check through the task manager by pressing Ctrl +Alt+ Del ?
    This issue may be caused by application crashing or some specific process occupied much system sources .
    When the issue occur ,we can open the task manager to check whether there is a specific application crashing or some specific process occupying many system sources. If there is a suspicious  process ,we can try to end it manually and  have a check.
    As an alternative choice ,we also can use Process Explorer to check the process running at present .
    Process Explorer v16.04
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
    Meanwhile ,please check the Event Viewer for any warnings or errors related to this .This path may be helpful :

    Best regards 

  • Plasma Desktop resets if not using KDE

    I mainly use MATE Desktop, but with Plasma Desktop for a long time now. It used to work flawlessly, but in the last few days the Plasma Desktop settings are always resets after a reboot or a re-login. The KDE settings are saved correctly, but the Plasma Desktop can be saved only under KDE. I tried do delete the .kde4 folder and set everything again, but after a reboot or a re-login Plasma Desktop always resets if I start any DE except KDE. I even tried to reinstall everything, but nothing worked.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the answer , I don't know why some times starts and sometimes it doesn't so I still can check WHY happens, but thanks to your command (really I'm a kind of power user and I didn't know about this command!!) I'll be able to check what is the problem.
    Thanks again!
    PS.- Should I mark it as solved?

  • [Solved] Black Screen after KDM - plasma-desktop error with libpng

    Hey,
    i just wanted to log in to my arch session, but after KDM theres just a black screen.
    I found out, that all programs startet via krunner are working.
    So it's just plasma-desktop, what makes the problems
    plasme-desktop
    LONG OUTPUT AND IN THE END
    libpng warning: IDAT CRC error
    lippng error: PNG unsigned integer out of range
    thats it... plasma-netbook works without any problems... also window effects are working
    Dont know wheter its any help, but i dualboot with macOS and share the desktop, where 2 .jpgs are stored, dont know wether this is important...
    Edit:
    I've tried to delet the jpgs in the desktop folder and uninstalled kde-wallpapers. Still no luck
    I've also tried to downgrade libpng to 1.5.14, but when i reboot, kdm wont start.... maybe there's something i haven't thought through....
    However the Output changed a bit, heres the full output:

    Should have done that earlier... renaming .kde4
    Now it workes... and after uninstalling yawp-plasmoid i renamed .kde4... everything's fine now!
    So if anybody else runs in this problem too, my advice: check your aur-plasmoids!

    Why plasma isn't running after login?

    So dbus has to be the first daemon placed in the rc.conf list?
    Yesterday evening I tried to delete the file /home/giacomo/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and reboot: at new kde startup the screen was black but there were a panel in the low edge of the scrren, so plasma-desktop was running, but the desktop backgroung was not set. I re-apply all my settings (comic strip, cwp and system monitor) and at the next reboot plasma crashed again.
    When I come back to home I try to deactivate plasma activities and to change my rc.conf.

  • [Solved] plasma-desktop won't start by itself

    Not sure what I did but when I try to log in to KDE 4.5, via KDM, slash screen does it's thing, and then I end up with a session that doesn't have plasma-desktop. I have to run plasma-desktop from krunner (Alt+F2) to start it. How do I get it to start on its own again?
    EDIT: In trying to change KDE to use the raster graphics system I misspelled it. Dumb.

  • Plasma Desktop Crashes a few seconds after logging in

    Hi everyone!
    After a system upgrade on Thursday, my KDEmod 4.4 displays the following behaviour:
    For a  few seconds after log-in, the taskbar , wallpaper and a FolderView widget appear but then the entire plasma desktop crashes and leaves me with a black screen and a mouse cursor. I am perfectly able to run various apps but that's about it. The only way to have a useable desktop is to go to System Settings>Desktop>Workspace and   then select "Netbook". Then the netbook
    version of Plasma appears as expected. When I try to reactivate the "Desktop" option, Plasma crashes again giving the following dmesg output:
    drkonqi[3944]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f288899a00b sp 00007fff16f62ac0 error 4 in libkdecore.so.5.4.0[7f28888f7000+28f000]
    (this segfault has been mentioned in the forums before but no one found a solution from what I read)
    miscellaneous system data: Linux 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 23 19:43:46 CET 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
    Any ideas?
    P.S
    I disabled all the KDE-related services I could including Nepomuk/Strigi, automounting of usb devices etc. I also disabled Desktop Effects. Doesnt seem to help though.

    Hi there,
    you reactivated a very old thread and I don't think you're running kdemod these days.
    Perhaps you experiencing this problem:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=168676
    Try
    pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python2-sip-4.14.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    to downgrade the problematic package and reboot. If this fixes your problem, exclude "python2-sip" from upgrading in /etc/pacman.conf until a fixed package is released.

    I don't see a crash log for plasma-desktop anywhere.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
    EDIT: I have xf86-input-synaptics installed but not libsynaptics.  Should I have both and could that be causing the issue?  Maybe the two aren't even related.

    Is your system up to date? I ask because I have backtraces involving synaptics_drv.so in kdm.log but I can't find any since installation of the latest kernel. However, that could just be chance and probably is. Also, it the problem might not really be synaptics in the case of the errors I saw.
    I don't have libsynaptics installed and it doesn't seem to be required so I doubt that's the problem.
    Generally up to date.  Kernel is current (actually not now that 3.12 is out, but I'm not trying to update to 3.12 just yet), as are all my kde packages.  Some libs are out dated as is my X.

    Xvnc only provides software OpenGL, but Cinnamon (and Gnome Shell, and Ubuntu Unity) requires hardware OpenGL. So it's normal that only fallback mode works. Running these environments in Xvnc will be possible with the next release of VirtualGL.
    Edit: plasma-desktop should work, but not in opengl mode, only in xrender mode or with compositing completely disabled.

    It is not apparent what I do to provoke the crash -- it happens while I am in seemingly any application, sometimes just reading a page and not taking any actions.
    This started happening very suddenly two days ago. It might have happened around the time I updated ITunes but I'm not sure of this at all. And I never use ITunes or have it open.
    Don't know how to diagnose the problem since nothing is accessible whence it freezes up on me.  I tried software update, but problem continued after. Would appreciate troubleshooting advice. Thanks!

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Itunes becomes unresponsive when trying to start a rented movie

    as the title says.
    I really don't want to waste 4 dollars on a movie that won't play, the 24 hour countdown has started 10 minuntes ago from this post.
    I have Itunes for my windows 7 computer i have 8 gigs of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive and an i7 processor, there should be absoulutly no problem playing a movie....but there is.
    Help from someone knowlegable would be appreciated and not from some nobody.
    thanks in advance,
    (angry customer who always has problems with technology) aka me

    I just installed it on a Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, Dell Vostro machine (less than a year old), Intel Core i5 ivy bridge processor and 4 Gigabytes of RAM. The only other program running is Excel 2013 64bit.
    I just installed iTunes and has become unresponsive twice. I cannot move it, change it nor close it. The first time it also made all Windows 8 apps and desktop apps unusable. This is in no way a good sign of stability from Apple's part. Please, make it as stable (or close) as it is on Macs.
