[Bug 976397] Re: in Kubuntu 12.04, plasma-desktop does not start in the KDE session

[Lesley Longhurst]

This is also happening for me on 10.4 LTS. (I want to update to the new
LTS, but I'm reluctant to do it on a broken system).

There are a number of things that have happened since the last successful reboot that could have been the trigger:
- Added a second monitor
- Ran out of disk space while I was away for 2 weeks
- installed updates

$ lsb_release -a
