Hi,
* Michael Hirmke <mh@mike.franken.de> [01-11-16 17:56]: [...]
there is something really strange going on. I tried to logon with a newly created account - and that worked without any problem, meaning I got a working plasma5 desktop. So I tried to move all of the configuration directories for my regular account out of the way, i.e. .kde4, .local, .config and so on. Nothing helped - I still got a black desktop. Then I renamed my .profile - and all of a sudden I got my desktop back. I tried to find out what part of the .profile would cause the problems, but I didn't succeed in this. I tried to comment out half of the commands in this file, then the other half. In both cases the crashes remained. Only without any .profile it works.
So I'm really running out of ideas.
Does anyone have a hint what I can do now?
You filed a bug as suggested?
no, because of the new observations I don't know, where to file the bug and what to write into the description.
First thing might be to post the ".profile" that you believe is causing your problem.
The .profile doesn't seem to be the real root of the problem. I commented out everything - after that the problem didn't occur any longer. I then reactivated one line at a time. At some point the crash occurred again. I then reactivated different lines than before - and again the crash happened after having activated about half of the .profile. I tried about ten combinations - and the crash always occurred random after activating the n-th line, whatever that line was. Whats more: This .profile is used on *all* of my Linux systems and I never had any problems with it. It is used even on a Leap 42.1 with all the actual patches installed - and it works. This is why I really don't know, where and for what reason to file the bug. And I don't know if what I wrote above makes any sense to native speakers; I found it hard to even describe it in German, but in English to me it reads a bit stupid 8-< Can it be a problem with the size of the environment? "env | wc -c" gives 5888 bytes on my Leap system, which doesn't seem to be that much. Bye.
