        You could try renaming your ~/.kde folder and restarting which should reset everything to it's default state. If this stops the error then rebuild your environment piece by piece until you find what is causing it. If that sounds like a pain then another solution to the error seems to be adding the back ports repositories and updating from them. See here for how and risks.

            Well, if you're going that route then you have nothing to lose by trying the back ports. In a terminal run the following:

            Code:
            sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
            sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
            This will give you much updated versions of plasma among others.

              +1 on that ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

              I would just add that if you have just re-installed ,,,,first run the
              Code:
              sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
              on the new install ,,,,,,,,then add the backports then the
              Code:
              sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
              once again

                Yeah I should have been clear; I meant before trying the reinstall.

                  I know you did .

                  but from the OP's last post ,,,,,I would assume he/she is in the middle of a reinstall as we type

                  so just added a bit

                    I was basing it on my own dithering when making a decision to re-install. It normally takes a few hours

                      Hi iv just created an account because iv got the same problem (i believe) . I have updated everything and tried removing the ~/.kde/ folder.

                      new installation of Kubuntu 15.04 crashes plasma 5.2.2 constantly ?

                      not a clue what im doing wrong or what to do about it.

                      some pics included

                      tried to send a report but it just crashed trying to install backtrack or something.

                      i have more info and pics here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ly-4175554010/

                      I was just about to reinstall either this ver or the lts but still would like to double check there is not simple fix first.

                      p.s. i dont know what a backport is but i shall try you suggestions from previous pages.

                        if (as I red on your linuxforums.net post) it seems to be the add widget's side bar that keeps crashing it then take the advice in post #7-8

                        if that dose not work then go back to the LTS(14.04) or up to the 15.10-beta1

                            yes your CPU is 64bit you can use both the AMD64 or the i386
