Howdy folks, Ran into a strange problem ... Kubuntu 12.04LTS/KDE4.8.4 ... For whatever reason my plasma desktop crashed yesterday. Couldn't get it to come up again, so I deleted all the plasma files in the home directory to start from scratch. I must have done that in the "protected mode" unknowingly ... since today - when trying to change one of the desktop effects - I was told that I was running protected mode and should switch to the "normal" plasma desktop. Did as requested and ended up with an "upside down" desktop. Visually everything is upside down, but buttons still seem to be where they are supposed to be on the desktop (screenshots: http://goo.gl/N4tVF and http://goo.gl/YjPtc ). Everything looks fine in protected mode ... minus effects that is. Anyone have an idea what went wrong here and how to possibly correct it?
As many people pointed out, this might be an X problem, so I'd suggest you post output of --
DISPLAY=":0" xrandr from one of the ttys. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/. More info: http://www.kde.org/faq.html.
