KDE Plasma crash after a few seconds (Kubuntu 18.04)





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;

Since a few days I have the problem that after the start of my system only for a moment the desktop is visible (in fact, only the background image) and then plasma crashes. Everything else works fine, so I can start any application using KRunner, for example.



Some information:




  • Kubuntu 18.04

  • KDE Plasma 5.12.7

  • KDE Framework 5.44.0

  • Qt 5.9.5

  • Kernel 4.15.0-45-generic (but the problem also exists under an older kernel)


What did I try:




  • Added last packages removed via apt-get autoremove (x11proto-dri2-dev:amd64 and x11proto-gl-dev:amd64)

  • System update

  • Disable startup programs

  • Reset to default settings (plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, plasmarc and plasmashellrc removed)

  • Create new user


Currently, I suspect the reason for my problem somewhere in the last updates made. The last packages that were updated before the problem occurred were: libcurl4:amd64, spotify-client:amd64 and libcurl3-gnutls:amd64.



I appreciate any help.

          I found the (somewhat surprising) solution: Blocked print jobs in CUPS killed the complete desktop environment! So, if someone faces the same problem:




          1. Go to the CUPS server or to the print manager and remove all print jobs that have stopped or

          2. run lprm -

          3. Check if all print jobs could be removed! In my case, some jobs could not be removed. They belonged to a printer with a suspicious configuration, so in the end I simply removed the entire printer.


          Hope it helps!
