what happens if you issue: kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell & disown (restarts plasmashell w/o having to logout/in)
I tried again, when the system was running normally and it worked. I've left an open Konsole running on another virtual desktop which I can switch to, when it fails again.
two hints: - kquitapp5 does not always work. Sometimes you have to kill plasmashell. - You could create a shortcut with some key combination. This is my script for restarting plasmashell, because it hangs quite often here: ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- #!/bin/bash PSHELL="/usr/bin/plasmashell" killpshell() { killall $( basename "$PSHELL" ) killall -9 $( basename "$PSHELL" ) } startpshell() { $PSHELL --shut-up >/dev/null 2>&1 & } killpshell startpshell ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- Bye.
