kde/plasma did look very nice before the upgrade but at the moment whenever I run it from login the system locks up and I have to reboot - this is before I can interact with the GUI - I've looked through the system logs and as yet have not spotted the problem. When I find a resolution - I'll update this post.
I've eventually got around to researching this, hand editing the startup file
~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc and gradually removing startup applications - that previous blog entry led me to suspect some of the terms I was launching - I removed those and it still locked, eventually I removed
emacs and I could get in, if I ran emacs with no startup file (-Q) it locked up, having also spotted a
NVRM: Xid (0000:07:00): 13, 0001 00000000 00005097 000015e0 00000000 00000100
message in the logs just before the crash, I googled the
NVRM: Xid bit and found
this bug, which gives the solution to update the nvidia drivers, rather than the ones mentioned there, I went for not being quite so bleeding edge and installed the ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ppa, restarted the system and I'm now happily running in the kde/plasma desktop environment!
