Public bug reported: Plasma 5.12.3 was working fine on Kubuntu 17.10 plus backports ppa
On upgrading to Kubuntu 18.04 beta, plasmashell crashes every login leaving an empty black screen. Applications can still be launched via Alt-Space. The only clues I can see are: 1. .xsession-errors contains: KActivities: Database can not be opened in WAL mode. Check the SQLite version (required >3.7.0). And whether your filesystem supports shared memory followed by multiple reports of: KActivities: FATAL ERROR: Failed to contact the activity manager daemon 2. /home is an NFS share Does NFS support shared memory? If I unmount /home and use a local /home, copy all config folders from the NFS to the local home, then all seems fine. sqlite -version says 2.8.17 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: plasma-workspace 4:5.12.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-12.13-generic 4.15.7 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.8-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Fri Mar 23 17:16:26 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-03 (719 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) SourcePackage: plasma-workspace UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-03-10 (13 days ago) ** Affects: plasma-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758402 Title: plasmashell crashes on login. /home on NFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-workspace/+bug/1758402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
