KDE 4.8 and all thing's gone

[light-blue]

If you havent installed any drivers then you are probally running the open ones, to install the closed ones run "additional drivers" from the menu (or kde-jockey from teh command line) to install the closed ones which might work better for your card.

If the iso it was created from is bed then yet... an md5sum check on the iso should tell you if its bad or not.

thanks,
i've installed another version from "additional drivers" , that's what i
i've checked the iso, that's fine,
so there's no problem with iso.

Don't know if it will help but I found that when I upgraded to 4.8 I lost my desktop icons too (in folder view).

What i did to restore them was to right click on the desktop select folder view settings/location and then change from the desktop to any other location. Click apply. Then change it back again to the desktop folder. That brought the icons back for me. So far as switch and launch is concerned, maybe switching to something else and then back again will do it for you.

thanks,
however my problem is that you can't do anything with any widget at all,
nothing is on the screen when you select different widgets for each desktop
