Greetings,

After my update preformed on August 22, 2013, at around 13:20 CDT, I go and reboot my computer like any good linux user does after a kernel update. I of course checked out the news and whatnot before the update.

When I rebooted and after KDM loaded, I was greeted with this:

We are sorry. Plasma Desktop Shell closed unexpectedly. Executable: plasma-desktop PID: 830 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

So I alt-f2 and ran firefox to search for ways to fix this.

I found one thread that said to change the plasma-desktop.desktop startup type from unique to mulit, so I checked that out. It was already on multi.

Rebooted. Nothing. Problem still exists.

I then saw a thread that said to add a sleep 10 to the execute plasma line, but it was for 32bit systems. Mine is a 64bit system. No matter, worth a try right? Didn't work.

I have searched and searched some more, but no luck. So now I must come to you and hope that I didn't somehow overlook something.

What can I do to get plasma desktop to run again on my x64 arch linux system?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

EDIT: I figured out the answer after I posted this topic. Figures. I just needed to remove the .kde4 folder. So I made a backup of it, and now, no more crash.
