I just upgraded and restarted a few seconds after the desktop appeared an error message said that kioslave 5 had crashed unexpectedly. The backtrace was unusable and there is no place to report a kioslave 5 crash. Telling it to restart worked and there has been no further crashing. Possibly an error in the upgrade.

Just out of curiosity, did you upgrade from within or do a fresh install? I updated internally to Jammy and had all kinds of problems. Eventually I threw in the towel and did a clean install with a usb installation. It doesn't work smoothly for every setup in my experience over the years (I started using Ubuntu when it first came out). Several upgrade installations did not go smoothly. Some did. It has been a mixed bag. Hopefully it is a minor fix and you do not have to do a clean reinstall.
Good Luck! -
I thought that was clear. I used: sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop.

Yes, if you continue to experience issues that cannot be fixed I suggest doing a clean install from installation medium. I have had to do this with Kubuntu upteen times over the years. I do not use it daily any more for that reason. Nothing worse than reinstalling programs. If you keep a separate Home partition you should be fine. If not, I recommend you give it a try.
Upgrades do not always go smoothly for everyone, even if everything is up to date and rebooted first. I have tried every everything. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. It depends on the system I guess. Also if you use timeshift, you can roll back in 5 minutes to your previous installation and try again. I use Gentoo for my daily driver and still rely on timeshift. I keep a Kubuntu machine around in case I ever need to fall back to it as my main OS.
On a final note, I think Jammy is a fantastic distro and if you get it installed and working, it is a great OS.
Good Luck!Comment

Short of a reinstall, you could create another user and log on as that user, to see if the problem still occurs.Regards, John LittleComment

The only problem is with Kioslave 5 and that crashes every time I reboot the computer and that happens 100% of every time I reboot! Since it is a 100% repeatable bug then hopefully the devs will troubleshoot and fix this.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

I found this on a google search Perhaps it is a related problem:

Are Kubuntu devs working on this? Could be Plasma and KDE-related too.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

It would almost certainly be explicitly a KDE software issue, but if very few people are having this, or reporting it, it will be hard to track a causeOriginally posted by steve7233 View Post
It could be an anomaly specific to you, and your upgrade. The bug report you found is the only one I can find that is even vaguely related to anything here.
Again, as has been suggested already, it it occurring on a clean, new user account?Comment

After reading thru the kioslave 5, source code I suspect the old Kubuntu installer is using old obsolete codes that cause it to misconfigure the upgrade for my system and a few others. Why do the devs not upgrade to current protocols and maybe a newer install and upgrade program?Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

I made a new user and rebooted the computer into the new user. So far no crash.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

Does anyone know the answer to my last question?Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

That would almost certainly remove any possibility that the upgrade was 'misconfigured' (re: your comment Post #10), as the new user you created is using everything in the upgraded OS.Originally posted by steve7233 View Post
There has to be something in your user /home directory that is conflicting with kioslave.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

The only ways I know are tedious: binary chop copying files from the bad user to the good, or to sit in the bad user renaming files and directories, and logging out and in.Originally posted by steve7233 View Post
However, the culprit is likely to be in ~/.config, or ~/.local and in there be one of the files starting with "k" or "plasma". So I'd start by renaming .config to .config-bak, log out and log in. If the problem does not recur, it's in .config. Then I'd rename .config-bak back to .config (possibly having to move aside a freshly created .config), and rename about half of the files starting with k, log out and in. And so on. A benefit of this approach is you might identify the file causing the trouble and if it occurs again, know where to go.
