Another +1 In my case, plasmashell started crashing like this after I had some problems with printing a document two days back. When I started the PC today (Kubuntu 18.04), plasmashell would keep crashing with the error messages outlined above.
After reading this bug report, I did some digging and found the following: - One of the attempts of printing the document apparently resulted in a "stuck" print job in CUPS - That job was listed twice with the same ID - I could cancel one of them, but not the other one, as it had the same ID - After manually removing the stuck job from /var/spool/cups and rebooting the PC, everything worked again - Strangely enough, one of the two printers I had previously configured has now vanished completely from CUPS So, the root cause seems to lie in CUPS rather than KDE, but I find it extremely puzzling that an error in CUPS keeps KDE from starting properly - this seems to be a bug in itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770044 Title: plasmashell crashes on login - so I can't use my desktop system.
