plasma-desktop crash

English Applications
1

Hello,
I was surprised yesterday when I turned on my computer by the following problem with the KDE Plasma Desktop. I cannot remember that I did something special before. I tried to update my system with the installation CD but nothing changed. I also tried “zypper up” but also didn’t help. I cannot log in and I get this error directly after booting. I can run application using Alt+F2 but I don’t have any desktop. My graphical card is:



 NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [Quadro K2000M] [10de:0ffb] (rev a1)
 Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:176b]

Well, apparently the networkmanagement plasmoid in the system tray is crashing.

Does it also crash for a new user?

What repos do you have:

zypper lr -d

You could remove the plasmoid manually from your config.
Open the file ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc in a text editor (kwrite f.e.), search for a line containing “plugin=org.kde.networkmanagement” and remove the whole config section.
For example in my config I would have to remove those lines:

[Containments][1][Applets][6][Configuration][Applets][41]geometry=0,0,24,24
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.networkmanagement
zvalue=0


[Containments][1][Applets][6][Configuration][Applets][41][PopupApplet]
DialogHeight=279
DialogWidth=881


[Containments][1][Applets][6][Configuration][Applets][41][Shortcuts]
global=

I.e. all that are starting with “[Containments][1][Applets][6][Configuration][Applets][41]”. The exact numbers may vary on your system though.

Afterwards try to start plasma by pressing Alt+F2 and typing “plasma-desktop”, it should not crash then.

Thank you. This fixed the desktop problem. But now my sound card is not recognized, my laptop cannot detect that it is connect to the power (AC Adpater: Not plugged in) and I lost the connection manager icon in the task manager.

Well, the last point was to be expected since you removed it to prevent it crashing… :wink:

The other 2 points remind me of permission problems (could have caused the networkmanagement crash as well).
Please post the output of:

loginctl

and

getfacl /dev/snd/*

And I’m pretty sure this causes all your problems.

But why is it looking for the socket in /usr/local/…?
Did you compile and install systemd or dbus (not sure which one would cause something like this) yourself from source?

Which versions do you have installed?

rpm -qi systemd dbus-1

Summary : A System and Session Manager
Description :
Systemd is a system and service manager, compatible with SysV and LSB
init scripts for Linux. systemd provides aggressive parallelization
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state,
maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate
transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a
drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

Summary : D-Bus Message Bus System
Description :
D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to
one another. D-Bus supplies both a system daemon and a
per-user-login-session daemon. Also, the message bus is built on top of
a general one-to-one message passing framework, which can be used by
any two apps to communicate directly (without going through the message
bus daemon).

OK, so you installed it to /usr/local right? (Normally that’s the default prefix, if you compile from source)
So by doing that, you now have dbus-1.4.16 running (/usr/local/bin/ is in the path before /usr/bin/), which doesn’t fit the rest of the system.

Uninstall that again and your problems will vanish.

And you can get back the networkmanagement plasmoid by right-clicking on the small green up-arrow in the system tray (just left of the digital clock), choosing “System Tray Settings” and enabling it there.

Did you reboot?

Check if there’s anything left in /usr/local/ regarding dbus.

Maybe you overwrote some dbus system files? Run:

sudo rpm -V dbus-1 dbus-1-glib dbus-1-x11

to check, and post the output, if any.

Did you reboot?

yes

Check if there’s anything left in /usr/local/ regarding dbus.

Nothing related to dbus:

bin  games  include  lib  lib64  man  sbin  share  src

sudo rpm -V dbus-1 dbus-1-glib dbus-1-x11

..?......    /lib/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

And what is in those directories?

ls -Rla /usr/local/

…?.. /lib/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

That’s normal, your user doesn’t have access to this file.

ls -Rla /usr/local/

ls -Rla /usr/local/ | grep dbus

So remove all of this!
And better check that there’s not also something else from dbus in /usr/local/ that “grep dbus” didn’t list.

15

Done … and Great! everything is working again :slight_smile:
Thank you very much for your help!
