[opensuse] Trouble after logging into Plasma
Hello, When logging into my Plasma session window decorations don't load, the touchpad and keyboard act a bit wonky (continually highlighting text, very tedious to type), and windows are opened in the top left corner if they open at all. Some apps such as kmail will not load at all. I'm logged in using IceWM at the moment, so I'm up and running. Just not as nice as Plasma or Gnome =P. Not sure what I need to look at or what I can provide for anyone to help out. I am running Leap 42.2 with KDE Plasma. Kernel is 4.4.36-8, no other kernels are on my system at the moment. Thanks, Bryon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The only thing I can think of to help diagnose the issue would be to switch back to a console, look at the current loaded modules and write the process list out to disk so you can examine what is actually running. If it is plasma and configured to launch from the login console then you would need to switch to a second console (e.g. tty2): ctrl+alt+F2 Then you can examine the running processes in top (or htop) or write the process list to disk for examination $ ps axf > current_procs.txt You can use lsmod to look at the loaded modules If kde is running on the traditional vt7, then you can use ctrl+alt+F1 and do the same thing. That would be something you could post for feedback. The mix of plasma and kde4 bits that make up plasma/frameworks 5 or conflicting modules for touchpad, keyboard, etc.. or even usb issues can generate such behavior. Have you recently plugged in (or removed) a usb device that you didn't have before? Were there any recent updates between the last time plasma/fw5 worked and now? (and, I know it isn't M$, but have you killed and restarted plasma, or rebooted?) Anything funny in the journal? That's pretty much where I would start. At least looking at the loaded modules and processes will give others something to work with. -- David C.

try restarting plasma: kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell --shut-up & disown -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
