KDE Plasma startup logs? (Plasma does not start)
by Wloxen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JZKK)
Hi everyone,
What are the Plasma specific startup logs to look for problems in case of Plasma not starting?
When I introduce my (correct) password in the login manager the plasma session seems to start as always but it remains in a blank screen with a working mouse pointer (but it does not respond to any kind of clicking).
Except for that, the computer is working perfectly in all senses, accessible through local text consoles and SSH, with the CPU pretty idle, with all services working (even those started within the user session), etc. I can even use remotely the desktop applications perfectly from another GNU/Linux box through X and SSH.
This is Debian stable and it has been working perfectly as it is now literally for months, and nothing special occurred the last time I used it, which had an ordered shutdown as always.
The only other few times this happened to me was because of a full disk, and solved as easily as you can suppose. But this time that is not the case.
Any help to identify the logs to watch will be appreciated: Should it be in the X logs? Are there any specific ones to the Plasma session? I suppose these should be the more interesting but as KDE Plasma never failed to me I don't know which they are...
Thank you in advance.
