You don’t see icons in your Home/Desktop directory? In this case update your KDE. - You’ll find a lot of posts about updating how-to.
If you have icons in your desktop directory in the File-manager but not on the Desktop, then press Alt+F2 and type Konsole and hit Enter.
Now, type the following:


rm .kde4/share/config/plasma*

and relog.

Your plasma configuration is stored in the files:


plasmarc
plasma-appletsrc

In this way we are resetting it to the old state. Sometimes it help. If it isn’t then you should update your KDE4 installation.

ps.: yeah, KDE4 is pretty new - a lot of people have problems with it.

What should I do to recorery plasma tool?

You can’t recover anything unless if you have backups (but you haven’t). So execute this command:


rm .kde4/share/config/plasma*

on the above described way (2nd post), and relog.

ok thanks!

You only remove two plasma config files, not plasma itself.

Sometimes, usually after updates, these config files containing plasma settings make plasma crash.

Once you remove them, logout, login back, KDE will soon write fresh config files and everything will be fine.

You are welcome. Is it worked?
