Hi, Since this morning, after loging in on a Plasma KDE session, I can first see the desktop then only a black screen with only the mouse available, nothing else. Ctrl+Alt+Suppr, brings the log out screen so I can log out. I can also switch to a text terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F2. That's all. On the fedora users mailing list, we identified that it is due to plasmashell crash. With a newly created user, I get the same problem. Here is the content of .xsession-errors after the crash: xset: bad font path element (#2), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax startkde: Starting up... vmware-user: could not open /proc/fs/vmblock/dev Already running abrt-applet: Impossible d'afficher la notification : GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided b> abrt-applet: Impossible d'afficher la notification : GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided b> ...
