I did an upgrade from Kubuntu 12.10 today and initially bumped into problems with NVidia graphics (I had custom installation of 310 drivers from Nvidia's web page). But after dealing with this and switching to the Nvidia drivers from the repos, I can't get plasma-desktop working automatically after login. I've got a black screen and all the other services running: Krunner, Kwin, network but no Plasma until I hit Alt+F2 and enter 'plasma-desktop' manually. And then it works as usual.
What I tried:
1) Add plasma-desktop in start-up manager in System Settings. I can get apps like Yakuake being loaded at start-up, but not Plasma. It's not there after the reboot.
2) I checked if kde-workspace* is installed (it is).
3) Deleting ~/.config directory
4) Deleting ~/.kde directory
5) Tweaking scripts in /usr/share/xsessions, but they are no different from what I have in other distro running KDE 4.10 where Plasma is fine.
5) Checked this http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-852710.html
6) And checked this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/976397
This issue occurs also for any new user set up in the system. And initially by default they had the mobile KDE interface (Plasma Active). I uninsulated this, but problem still exists and it seems a system wide issue, not just my user preferences. Can someone tell me:
- what's the name of the script which loads Plasma and where it lives in the system?
- what to change there?
- any package to install?
Unfortunately, I can't just reinstall the system from the LiveDVD :-(
