Thread: Everything with KDE is somehow corrupt with a white screen and red "X"es
randomly, kde started refusing open programs through normal menu, giving error saying "kdeinit not launch /usr/bin/application" (something that). thought nothing of because every once in while happen , logging out or rebooting fixed it. hours later, dolphin stopped working (saying "invalid protocol" in every directory). after that, decided log out , in, f*cked up! pressing "alt+f1" me console worked, , working fine there, kde broken. i'm on laptop i'm using intel's integrated graphics btw.
here's screenshot of desktop. unusable!
help??
login manager works fine though, after splash screen this. "white screen of death" i'm reading about? don't know though.
edit: renamed .kde , logged in again, , worked (but without settings of course). put original .kde , it's working again (i can log in , everything), new problem arose. seem have default wallpaper, tried right-clicking change wallpaper location, couldn't right-click. right-clicking nothing. how back?? have access backup made of /home 10 days ago before upgraded 12.10, don't know folder in .kde culprit. so main problem getting right-click functionality plasma-desktop can edit desktop settings again.
edit2: may have found specific file that's giving me trouble. it's ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc might have wrong it. contents of plasma-desktop-appletsrc this:
could file that's causing right-click context menu not open on desktop? when delete (or rename) file , restart plasma-desktop, seems work looses settings, don't want.code:[$version]
