Hello, I am not able to get into KDE because it stalls when it try to restore the last session.
What I am to do from console so that KDE is going to start with an empty session?
Thanks

I had a similar problem once - I logged into another window manager (twm I think), then restarted and it was all fine - It could be a very different problem, but worth a try - It's one of the option drop down on the log-in-manager - ctrl-alt-backspace to get to the loginmanager if KDE is auto-loggin in

I hope thats any help at all : (

Last session details are stored in the folder

/home/your_user_name/.kde/share/config/session

You can delete the file for a problem application to prevent it being restored, if you delete all the files in this folder you will start with an empty session.

Well, this is not the first time that something like happen. The first... few days ago, I went fro ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the x server and after 3 login like this I was able to get KDE back to normal. But this time it didn't work... maybe I left too many windows open???
However is a strange behaviour

I'll post again when I got more news.

What I have to do to delete the content of the session folder from console login?

Thank You.

To delete all of them use rm and a *

rm /home/your_user_name/.kde/share/config/session/*
