In case there is anyone wondering if it's KDE-specific: I've installed XFCE4 on both of my systems to get them usable again. Under XFCE, I've seen none of the problems that occurred under KDE.
More information on the problem: When I run the apps from a terminal, nothing unusual is displayed, though there is some indication that the programs start launching (VMWare, for instance, displays the normal "logging to /tmp/xxx.log" - unfortunately, the log provides no further info). The hung programs are easily killed with the default signal from kill[all] (no more forceful signal, such as -KILL, is needed). I've confirmed that this happens as of the latest packages available today (March 9). -- 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
