This can be done in a virtual console, which is the usual way;
At the login screen;
1. Ctrl+Alt+F1 key
2. Log in as root
3. Execute
# init 3
4. Ctrl+Alt+F2 key
5. Log in as root, again
6. Exucute
$ startplasma-x11 > /tmp/plasama.log 2>&1
Then, check the plasma.log.
Not sure if this is helpful or not, but this is what was captured in the plasma.log - marc@marcslaptop:~> cat /tmp/plasma.log $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server. and sure enough the $DISPLAY variable is not set. I suspect it should be set to either :0 or 0:0 but I am not sure where or who it should be set for (if I need to edit some startup shell script, or simply to do an export under root and/or myself) I tried fooling around with setting the DISPLAY environment variable but didn't succeed in getting startplasma-x11 to run..
