I don't think you actually have the same problem as us. See the picture attached to the bug report...if alt-f2 is working and krunner doesn't crash you probably have a different problem. I'd recommend opening a separate bug report with just your symptoms.
If you want to check if your problem is being caused by $XDG_DATA_DIRS, you can temporarily set $XDG_DATA_DIRS (all on one line): XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share" plasmashell The symlink thing was a temporary workaround, I wouldn't actually recommend it. You can check that it's set properly by doing ls -l ~/.local/share/plasma -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576500 Title: Plasma fails to load: "all shell packages missing" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-desktop/+bug/1576500/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
