Plasma 5 won"t starting
I'm in Debian Sid with KDE5. But after a recent update done 2 weeks before, KDE wont getting started. Only the mouse pointer is shown after login. I thinks (not sure) something happened to KWin. Any troubleshooting willbe highly appreciated. Regards, Akhilan Off: Eventhough KDM starts up the Icons & Style shown in Login manager is Gnome Style.

Check the debian-kde ML archives (https://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/), there are various posts related to these problems. In short: Debian Sid is rather broken atm and will be for some time. Downgrade to testing and things should _mostly_ work. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

No Gräßlin said he would look into it since he is also a Debian user. Martin, what was the issue with mouse cursors and packing? Best Regards `Allan

The issue on Ubuntu was that there were default fallback themes not being setup correctly. Comparing the packages for Ubuntu and Debian I see the following difference: /etc/X11/cursors/Breeze_Snow.theme /etc/X11/cursors/breeze_cursors.theme Relevant changelog entry on Ubuntu: * Revise postinst and prerm for cursor themes. The themes now get inheritance configs created that we use for the default symlink which should make the default setup work as expected. -- Harald Sitter Mon, 30 Mar 2015 12:59:09 +0200 Hope that helps, Cheers, Martin signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It is a Debian packaging bug in the breeze mouse-cursors. If you use oxygen mouse-cursors you will get the right resize types. I original thought it was kwin issue and talked with Martin Gräßlin about it, and he instantly knew what the issue was as Fedora had had the exact same packaging issue. `Allan You're right, the drag capability seems to be there but because the cursors aren't changing, it's hard to get the drag point correct.

Dick Barmann I checked this in synaptic and yes you can go-back but you need to add the Jessie/stable repos to do it and install 'kde-plasma-desktop', it's going to remove what plasma-5 packages you have installed and install kde-4. 'kde-plasma-desktop' is broken in both testing and unstable, but some of us like playing with broken toys. :) -- Jimmy Johnson Debian - Sid - AMD64 - EXT4 at sda15 Registered Linux User #380263

Don't forget to comment > out or remove that preference and apt source after you downgrade the packages. If you do it like that, ALL packages will be downgrade to snapshot level. I think it is better to restrict this activity to just the two packages i question. Here is what I did: 1) Download the 2 packages from http://snapshot.debian.org/. There is a "search binary package" function which allows to search for libkdecorations2-5 and libkdecorations2private5. Download versions 4:5.3.2-1 2) Install them via "dkpg -i " 3) Pin the two packages to prevent future upgrades: Package: libkdecorations2-5 Pin: version 4:5.3.2-1 Pin-Priority: 1000 Package: libkdecorations2private5 Pin: version 4:5.3.2-1 Pin-Priority: 1000 That does the trick on my machine.
