KDE 4.5 SC RC2 Desktop Freeze

[moony]

Hello,
I am testing the RC2 of KDE 4.5. I realise that I do so at some risk. However, today I installed the RC2 from RC1 using the beta PPA repository. When logging in, the desktop appears and everything just freezes. Restarting the plasma desktop just loads back the frozen desktop. Anyone else having this problem on Kubuntu Lucid.

Any help would be great as I'm currently stuck using gnome .

Thanks

Moony.

A suggestion -

Boot into GNOME and rename ~/.kde - see if that works for you.

Good luck -

Hello,
Thanks for your help. That did the trick! Lost some settings but I think that's unavoidable.

Thanks again

Excellent.

You should be able to migrate some or most of your settings from the busted ~/.kde folder./
