I just upgraded my laptop (Dell Latitude E6500) running sid to kde 4.6.2. Did an apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade, added the qt-kde repos and installed kde 4.6.2. Had to then do another dist-upgrade to get all of the kde packages that weren't upgraded by the previous steps.
Okay, so now, I logged in to kde from kdm, and the desktop loaded, but then it crashed and fell immediately back to kdm. So I moved my .kde directory out of the way, restarted the X server and tried to log in again. This time, the desktop loaded fully, but any clicks (like on the K menu) crashed the desktop again. I started the desktop in Gnome, and it works, however, starting any kde apps kills the Gnome desktop. In .xsession-errors (which I have attached from my last login to kde), I see a lot of plasma-desktop(20319)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) This culminates in QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method LauncherApplet::toolTipHidden() [/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub] virtual Soprano::ODBC::Connection::~Connection() Q Thread(0xfd43f0) polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1: Fatal IO error: client killed kdeinit4: Fatal IO error: client killed kdeinit4: sending SIGHUP to children. klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 kdeinit4: sending SIGTERM to children. kdeinit4: Exit. QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running. Can anyone tell me what is bombing out and what I can do to get back to kde from gnome? thanks, --b
