Like Chris, I originally installed Ubuntu, then installed kubuntu- desktop. However, I've kept the gnome packages around, and have removed some of the KDE ones (kubuntu-desktop is no longer installed, etc). I also am using the nVidia non-free drivers.
Plasma occasionally freezes for me, but it seems unrelated to the launch problems. (not concurrent). I haven't been able to launch Dolphin, which is Qt so the problem doesn't appear to be limited to GTK+ apps. This machine has been upgraded from each successive Ubuntu release for several years, and is now running the latest Jaunty packages. (as of a day or two ago). KDE packages are 4:4.2.1-0ubuntu1 -- Cannot launch any programs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
